There will be 169 players returning for Day 2 of Event #7: $1,500 Limit Hold 'Em, all of whom will have the same goals in mind; build a stack and make the money.
The top 80 finishers will make the money, guaranteeing themselves $2,400. The player leading the charge when play resumes will be Dana B. Davidson who will unbag 208,500 to start the day. Hot on his heels is bracelet winner Mike Leah, starting the day with 200,000, who will undoubtedly be looking to add to his bracelet count.
