Welcome to Day 2 of Event #2, $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em

After two action-packed opening sessions that saw a new attendance record established for a WSOP event other than the Main Event itself, the survivors will readjourn on Monday to play into the money and well toward the final table. 447 survivors of the record 3,929-player field will return for play beginning at 2pm, all working toward a first-place winner's check of $831,462.

First, though, comes the bursting of the money bubble, which will occur when the 379th-place finisher is sent to the rail, guaranteeing the 378 survivors a minimum payday of $2,949 each. The money bubble should burst within the first couple hours of play.

The Day 2 field will be topped by David Bach (shown in photo as he eliminated Isabelle Mercier in yesterday's Day 1b session). Bach tallied 115,400 in chips to top both sessions, though several other players remain close on his heels. The overall top ten as Day 2 begins is as follows:

David Bach 115,400
Alan Puzantyan 111,400
David Robertson 109,100
Ryan D'Angelo 105,800
Frank Sinopoli 103,900
Pat White 92,300
Shane Schleger 89,000
Henry Tran 80,300
John Carlson 80,200
Grant Hinkle 77,800
