Day 2 of Event #47: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em MONSTER STACK has come to an end after 10 levels of play. A total of 1,944 players came back to battle it out and build their stacks with more than $1 million in sight for the top prize, but just 234 of them held on to advance to Day 3 tomorrow.

The top stack belongs to Scott Baumstein with a whopping 1,592,000 in chips worth 132 big blinds going into Day 3. Blinds will begin at 6,000/12,000 with a 2,000 ante on Tuesday, so he will have plenty of room to maneuver. He may be the outright chip leader, but Adrien Allain is right on his heels in second (1,500,000), and Alessandro Esposito rounds out the top three counts with 1,065,000 in chips. Paul Volpe also gradually built up his stack and found himself bagging 1,043,000, good for a top five stack.

Not only was today an important day to build a stack and pave the way for deep runs, but the money bubble was guaranteed to burst and players were aware of this. Towards the end of the fourth level of the day, it was Tanya Kirk who sent 1,008 players into the money after flopping top set and being fortunate enough to have her opponent flop top pair. Kirk woke up to kings and beat out ace-king of hearts to burst the bubble on the third round of hand-for-hand play. At that point, all of the remaining players were guaranteed a min-cash worth $2,249. Kirk managed to carry her strong play forward to Day 3, bagging a healthy 625,000 chips.

Day 3 will begin on Tuesday at 11 a.m. in the Miranda tournament room. Players will battle it out for another 10 levels, with the winner being crowned on Wednesday. The remaining players are guaranteed a payout of $5,415.

Some big names found the bottom of a bag tonight, including Scott Montgomery (880,000), Simon Deadman (828,000), Maurice Hawkins (740,000), Kevin Eyster (634,000), TJ Cloutier (414,000), Stanley Lee (360,000), Yevgeniy Timoshenko (305,000), Ole Schemion (287,000), Ismael Bojang (217,000), Ryan Belz (207,000), Will Failla (206,000), Elizabeth Montizanti (200,000), Men 'The Master' Nguyen (183,000), Tammy Wing (172,000), and Michael Moore (80,000).

The day began with 1,944 players and just 234 remain with two more days to go in this ever-popular event. First place will be paying out a cool $1,094,349 and the elusive gold WSOP bracelet. Here is a look at the payouts for those that are fortunate enough to make the final table:

Hawkins Chips Up

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Maurice Hawkins
Maurice Hawkins

Maurice Hawkins was in the hijack and raised to 25,000. Jack Duong was in the big blind and defended.

The flop was {7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, and Duong check-called Hawkins' bet of 19,000. The turn was the {2-Clubs}, and both players checked to the river, which was the {q-Spades}. Duong checked, and Hawkins bet 55,000. Duong thought for a minute and then folded his hand, shipping the pot to Hawkins.

Hawkins had just lost a chunk of his stack in the previous couple of hands and looks to make a charge in this last 40 minutes of the night.

Men The Master Finds a Friend in Steve Watts

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Men Nguyen_Steve Watts
Men Nguyen_Steve Watts

Men “The Master” Nguyen and Steve Watts from England have been sat next to each other since before the bubble today and the jokes, or “banter” as they call it in England, flying between them has seen them strike up a friendship with plenty of teasing each other.

Nguyen is calling Watts German and telling him to speak English to which Watts replied, “Hello, darling,” which cracked Nguyen up. Watts then called Nguyen his Indian friend which prompted The Master to jokingly call the floor.

Poker is still going on at the same time with Nguyen shoving from the small blind over an open. Watts folded the big blind and the original raiser mucked so Nguyen showed his {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

On the next hand, the same player opened, Nguyen folded the button and it was Watts who moved all in from the small blind. This time the player in the big blind called to put Watts at risk of elimination.

Watts: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Big blind: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades}.

Watts got a big double-up and the friendship now has more time to blossom. Nguyen said he had never visited England; maybe an invitation will be forthcoming?
