One of the big stories at the end of the night is that 2004 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion Greg Raymer (8,100,000) is still in the field. He was the beneficiary of pocket aces before the first break of the day that helped him navigate his way to Day 3.
Also still in the field are $25K Fantasy players Matt Glantz (12,825,000) and Ari Engel (4,400,000). Glantz got off to a hot start on Day 2 when he was able to win a huge three-way all in with pocket kings against his opponents' pocket jacks and ace-queen. Engel found momentum early on Day 2 as well when his pocket queens won the race against the ace-king of his opponent.

Day 2 of the Colossus had some incredible hands that shocked the Horseshoe Ballroom. First when Max Kruseflopped a royal flush against Daniele Nestola who rivered quad kings. Later in the night, Joshua Hatfield rivered quad eights against his opponent's turned set of aces.
Another major story throughout Day 2 was that Barstool Sports personality Ben Mintz made it all the way until the final hand of the night before busting right before players bagged when his ace-queen ran into pocket queens. Other notable players who busted during Day 2 include Kane Kalas, David "ODB" Baker, Craig Chait, and Steven Wolansky.
