John 'Falstaff' Hartness Pokernews.com Fifty-six players returned to Leicester Square for Day 2 of Event #2, £2,500 H.O.R.S.E., at the 2008 World Series of Poker Europe. Phil Ivey and Phil Hellmuth started Day 2 atop the leader board, and one of the Phils remained in the tournament when play halted late in the evening. The marathon Day 2 lasted over 14 hours and saw numerous top names head to the rail as the field thinned to 11.

The stacked field on Day 2 created even more interesting table draws, including this table of doom. At Table 5, Joe Beevers and David Williams were moved onto a table that already contained tough opponents Woody Deck, Patrik Antonius, Daniel Negreanu, Robert Williamson III and 2008 WSOP Main Event final-table player Kelly Kim.

Among the early eliminations was Barry Greenstein, who busted to John Phan early in a hold'em round when Phan's A-9 outflopped Greenstein's A-10 as a nine landed on the board. Greenstein was soon joined on the rail by Bruno Fitoussi, Markus Golser, Jean- Robert Bellande, Brandon Cantu, and Mike "The Mouth" Matusow.

Phil Hellmuth came into Day 2 as one of the chip leaders, but his famous temper showed itself more than once as his stack dwindled. After doubling up Mark Gregorich twice in consecutive hands in a razz orbit, Hellmuth's once-massive chip stack began to shrink. Finally, finding himself with a short stack and receiving a warning for abusive behavior to the dealer, Hellmuth got all his chips in preflop against Sherkhan Farnood. Farnood's

on the river made a set for Farnood and sent an irate Hellmuth home in 12th place (£6,188). The 11- time WSOP bracelet winner's shot at his first non-hold'em gold fell just short of the final table.

As Hellmuth departed, the final 11 chip stacks looked like this:
