![[user196676]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
A little more than 48 hours ago 2,857 players came out with the dream of winning a gold WSOP bracelet and $675,117. Today only 34 players remain. At the top of the pack is tournament chip leader Byron Kaverman holding 1,345,000 in chips. Close behind Kaverman are Douglas Yamashiro with 722,000 and Simon Watt with 648,000.
These no limit tournaments are able to see a slew of players be eliminated in a short period of time, and that's exactly what happened yesterday. Day 2 play began with 385 players and most of them did not make the cut on to day 3. Among the notable players eliminated during day 2 are Jonathan Aguiar, Kathy Liebert, Erica Shoenberg, Dwyte Pilgrim, Maria Ho, and Bernard Lee. Still alive and in contention for the bracelet today is Team PokerStars Pro (Brazil) Andre Akkari.
Today we will be playing ten more levels and hopefully crowning a champion by the end of play today. As always, stay tuned to PokerNews for the most current updates!
