Day 2 of Event #48: $1,500 Shootout will begin shortly with 80 players returning out of the 800 starting entrants. Ten tables will play eight-handed and by the end of the day, only one player from each table will survive and combine into one final table to be played on Wednesday, October 27.

Today's action will resume at 12 p.m. local time, everyone returning is already in the money and has cashed for a minimum of $5,549. Each player will be hoping to win their table and survive another day to increase their payday to at least $16,197 and potentially, the $204,063 first-place prize in addition to a coveted WSOP gold bracelet.

All of the returning players will have roughly the same stack, with slight differences based on chips from players who arrived late that were put into the well and out of play by dealers.

Some notables returning today who are looking for a spot at the final table include Joseph Cheong (247,000), Michael Trivett (249,000), Ari Engel (246,000), Gershon Distenfeld (246,000), Sam Grafton (247,000), Brian Yoon (247,000), and Ray Henson (247,000).

Day 2 starts at 12 p.m. local time on October 26 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino. The tournament will restart with blinds at 2,000/4,000/4,000.
