Some notable players who are still alive on Day 2 include, Koray Aldemir (1,380,000) with over $12 million in live tournament cashes and many more online, two-time WSOP bracelet winners James More, and Eric Baldwin (720,000), all-time WSOPC ring leader Maurice Hawkins (375,000) as well as Christian Harder (635,000) and 2019 millionaire maker champion John Gorsuch (240,000).
Day 2 is scheduled to play down to a winner, with 30-minute levels. The action restarts with the blinds at 15,000/30,000/30,000. With many stacks already on the very short end and even the big stacks not having a ton of wiggle room, play should come fast and furious all day as players will be hitting the rail at breakneck speed.
Stacks will shrink and grow as PokerNews will shepherd you through it all with timely updates of chip counts and big hands throughout the day.
