Douglas James, with only one level to go before the end of Day 2, found himself in a great doubling spot. His aces were facing Maxime Francoeur’s kings, and in the absence of another on the board, James reached the 2-million mark.
Meanwhile, Jackob Datashvili and Trevor Delaney got to just over 4 million each, leading the last 5 tables into the level 26.
