Day 2 of the tournament has been moving at a quick pace since play started at 11 this morning, and the bubble didn’t slow things down that much. There were a few short stacks in the room and by the time the TD announced hand-for-hand play there were a few bubble boy candidates.

One of these – Armah Attoh – managed to more than double his 1 BB stack when he went all-in in early position with what turned out to be pocket jacks which held against 77.

Just two hands later Tyler Reiman shoved his small stack in holding TT – only to be called by pocket Kings, which held. So Tyler is the bubble boy and the rest of the players are in the money.

There are 73 players remaining and play is now hand-for-hand.

Day 2 has seen us through to 77 players left (so far) and with the bubble at #73 we should get there relatively soon.

There are still 4-5 players out front – at this point Paul Klann, Andrew Walter, Michael Linster, Josh Field, and Daniel Suid are all around the 700K+ mark.

The dinner break has just ended and blinds have increased to 2.5K/5K/a500 with 109 players still alive. Players are in the money when they reach 72 remaining, so it’s very possible that we’ll get there tonight – certainly at the pace things have been going all day today.

The big stacks in the tournament are all at around 500K or above (up to around 700K) and the chip average is 204.2K.

As we get closer to the 45-minute long dinner break after level 6, the tournament continues to move at a pretty torrid pace. There are a few players who have built up some very large stacks, including current chip leader Robert Brown who is playing almost 700K, plus several players hovering around the 500K mark: Michael Linster, Josh Field, Brian Beggs, Eddie Bangash, and now Derek Lerner, who is just stacking a huge pot.

Blinds are currently 2K/4K/a500 and there are 15 minutes left before the break.

Day 2 has just completed its second break of the day (breaks are after every 2nd level) with 149 players left in contention of the 294 that started the day and 735 entries that started one of the Day 1s.

A quick tour of the tables during the break and we found there to be some very large stacks being built by Josh Field, Brian Beggs, Ravi Raghavan, Matt Kay, plus Players Club members Jeff Gross and Jonathan Driscoll. Also among the larger stacks are Andrew Graham, Jason Hallée, Shannon Shorr, Nick-Real Seide, Jason Duval, and Ronnie Bardah.
