Play Concludes A total of 175 players from the original starting field of 1,088 made it back for the second day of Event No. 13, the $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em event. It didn't take long to reach the cash bubble, with Joe Sebok and Beth Shak being the last players eliminated before we reached the last 117. By night's end, 20 players remained. The chip leaders heading into tomorrow's final day of play include Gregg Merkow, Angel Guillen, and Bahador Ahmadi. Roland de Wolfe and Kirill Gerasimov are also right in the thick of things with substantial stacks. And it appeared Phil Ivey, who already has one bracelet this summer, would be returning with a lot of chips as well, until a late hit to his stack leaves him the short stack when play resumes tomorrow. Thanks for following today's coverage. And come back here to PokerNews for all of the action starting at 1 p.m. Vegas time tomorrow to see who of the final twenty emerges as our next bracelet winner.

Day 2 Ends; Who Will Stop Kid Poker?

That brings an end to a long day in which our field of 98 hopefuls were reduced to our final 11. It was a roller coaster ride today through times of hyper-aggression once the money bubble burst, to the tight play late in the evening once the players caught a sniff of a final table berth. One man who took superb advantage of this was PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu, who pounded relentlessly on his opponents and personally eliminated many of them to accumulate a massive chip lead. With thoughts of last year's Limit Holdem bracelet win in his mind, Negreanu will be focused and very hard to stop. However, it was Tommi Horkko who made a surge late in the day to claim the unofficial overnight chip lead. The likes of Shawn Buchanan, Barry Shulman and the elusive Russian Nikolay Losev will also be lurking in the wings. Play will recommence at 1pm tomorrow local time as we play down until a champion is crowned! We look forward to your company then!

Chipcount Tommi Horkko 500,000 Daniel Negreanu 470,000 Barry Shulman 351,000 Brock Parker 335,000 Kevin Hong 290,000 Nikolay Losev 216,000 Kyle Ray 200,000 Robert Como 136,000 Shawn Buchanan 118,000 Jimmy Tran 74,000 Jim Buckley 69,000

Day 1 Complete (players left: 165 of 655 entrants)

A $5,000 buy-in attracted an all-star line-up to Event 15. In all, 655 professionals and amateurs anted up to compete for a share of prize pool worth $3,078,500. A number of big names fell throughout the day, with pros like Howard Lederer, Scotty Nguyen and Humberto Brenes leaving early and others like Tiffany Michelle and Phil Hellmouth nursing short stacks for as long as possible. While many departed, others built massive chip stacks that will serve them well when we start Day 2 at 2PM tomorrow. Some of the healthier stacks belong to pros like Nenad Medic, Victor Ramdin, Gavin Griffin, and Vanessa Rousso and Jimmy Fricke who spent much of the day at the Killer Table which was packed with talent from the very first hand of the day. The biggest stacks of the day are all well over 100,000 chips and are, in order: Alexander Toryanski - 175,000 Faraz Jaka - 170,000 Brian Lemke - 160,000 Fabian Quoss - 135,000 Luke Staudenmaier - 133,000 Join us tomorrow as we play our way toward the final table and see which of the 165 returning players finishes the day on top.
