Some other notable names to make it through to Day 3 were Victor Ramdin (1,005,000) Mike Matusow (250,000), Allen Kessler (105,000), and JJ Liu (145,000).

As for Ramdin who has multiple deep WSOP runs, he will go into Day 3 with a very healthy stack despite making a big lay-down in a hand late on Day 2 that he would find out was a stone-cold bluff.
