The fast pace that populated Day 1 of this tournament continued today. During the first two levels of play we lost around 80 players, over half the field.
146 players started day today, all of them in the money, but only 16 remain after 10 levels of play. Some of the fallen include: Robert Williamson, Tim Adams, and Team PokerStars Pro JP Kelly and Jorge Arias.
Most of the surviving players have seen their chip stacks take large swings. The day was overrun with double ups, suckouts and well played hands.
This includes Carter Phillips, and after a few key hands near the end of the day, he finds himself as the chip leader for Day 3. He ends the day with 922,000 in chips, while his closest contender, Mikhail Lakhitov, trails with 763,000.
The exciting, shorthanded play will continue tomorrow at 2:30pm. We will play down to a final table and after that, play will continue until a someone wins the bracelet.
