Day 2 Wraps Up
Dario Minieri entered the day second in chips, barely behind fellow Team PokerStars Pro member Lex Veldhuis. The two drew the same table and the fireworks show was ready to be ignited. It wasn't until the last level of the day that the two clashed. Minieri took his kings up against Veldhuis' in an all-in-preflop showdown. Minieri's kings held and he sent Veldhuis packing, shooting himself up the leaderboard to the top. At the end of the day, Minieri bagged up 430,700 chips.
Dutch player Michiel Brummelhuis is the other player who finished up with more than 400,000 chips and sits in second place. Here's a complete list of the end-of-the-day chip counts.
