After 10 levels of play, Day 2 of the $500 + $50 Deepstack has come to an end. From 57 to start the day, only 7 players remain, and they will return for the conclusion of the event tomorrow night at 7pm.

Leading the field is George Caragiorgas, who spent the day steadily increasing his stack leading him to the final table. Once he arrived here, he combined good plays with good spots and took control of the massive chip lead. He returns tomorrow with nearly 2-million in chips, which is 800K more than second in chips Shaan Siddiqui. Below are the chip counts of the final 7 players entering Day 3.

See you tomorrow!

David Bonneau went on a huge roller-coaster ride in this last level of the night, as he went from 500K down to 85K before staging a comeback up to over 800K. He then lost 140K calling a 3bet from George Caragiorgas where he ended up folding on the flop – they exchanged info after the hand by tabling their hands, and George had the best hand with AK over AQ.

On the last hand of the night, the two got involved in yet another huge pot – with the same hands! George opened to 85K from middle position following a limp, and David 3bet to 200K from the button. George announced all-in, and David made the call with a total stack worth 540K.
