Over 600 players took their seats this afternoon in at the start of Day 2 in the World Series of Poker Event #5: $565 Colossus No Limit Hold'em, but only 43 bagged chips at the conclusion of play.
Leading the way is Raul Martinez Requena, who ended the day with 5,270,000 chips after a huge surge toward the end of the night.
Several well-known players also remain in contention for WSOP gold in this event, including Matt Affleck, Robert Hankins, and Tom Hall.

Cowboy Cuce Shot Down In Hail of Bullets
Niveau 28
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Thomas Cuce bust just before the close of play with five tables remaining.
He summed it up eloquently to PokerNews as he lent on the pay-out desk.

Niveau 28
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
