Day 2 will play with elongated 60-minute levels and continue through ten full levels of play before stopping to bag for Day 3. There will be a 15-minute break after every two levels, and a 60-minute dinner break after Level 21 (~8:30 p.m.).
PokerNews will be on-site all day long to capture all the action as the remaining players look to make a run at Day 3.
