After starting the day with 2,720 players stretched into the various overflow areas here at the Rio, we are now down to just 218 players on 25 tables in the far corner of the Amazon Room.

It will be a 2:00pm PDT start time for those lucky enough to make Day 2. They'll then play down to the final nine players who will comprise Monday's final table.

Mike Zukler ends the day as the probable chip leader with approximately 113,000 chips. Eric Beren and Kaveh Tehizani are not far behind however, each with over 85,000 in chips. Other notables to make Day 2 include Bill Gazes, Humberto Brenes, Hasan Habib, and Kenna James. Well above average in chips and always a threat is Barry Greenstein. You can be sure he has his sights set on a final table appearance and a 4th WSOP gold bracelet. A strong finish here would put Greenstein atop the WSOP Player of the Year race and taking home the title would make him tough to catch in that race. Will he or any other pro make the final table? Join us tomorrow at 2:00pm to find out.

As always, official chip counts will be posted when they become available.
