Emmanuel Gordon has been on a heater in the last few orbits, and has taken over the massive chip lead of this event. After chipping up on several different hands, he now closes on the 2-million chip mark, putting him more than 750,000 chips ahead of any other player in the field at the moment.
20 players remain in this Day 2, and play will continue until the final table of 10 players will be reached. The ten finalists will then return tomorrow evening for the conclusion of this tournament, with the winner scheduled to take home a sweet $28,000 cash prize.
