Day 2 of Event #47: $100,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em gets underway at 12 p.m. at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas with some of the world's elite poker players coming back to make a run at the final table in the biggest buy-in event of the summer so far.

Denmark's Henrik Hecklen is leading the field after he amassed 3,505,000 during Day 1 and was the only player to break the three-million chip milestone. Hecklen has won tournaments all around the world but a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet still eludes the Dane who will be looking to use his expertise to navigate himself toward the final table.

It's hard to pinpoint notables from a field of world class players but the likes of Ben Tollerene (2,815,000), Nick Petrangelo (2,700,000), Jeremy Ausmus (2,090,000), Justin Saliba (1,860,000), Isaac Haxton (1,545,000), Artur Martirosian (1,350,000), and Adrian Mateos (775,000) will have chips in front of them at the start of Day 2.
