The players are filtering in now, and they're immediately racing off the greens, as the blinds must be going up to 400/800 ante 100...?  That's my guess.  The screens are currently displaying just the number of runners and the seconds until kick-off.

What we do have (although I'll say it's provisional as there's an asterisk on the top prize) is the Prize Structure:

1st   $3,970,415*
2nd  $2,011,135
3rd   $1,082,920
4th    $696,220
5th    $464,110
6th    $309,405
7th    $278,465
8th    $247,525
9th    $216,585
10th   $185,645
11th-15th   $154,705
16th-20th   $123,760
21st-30th    $92,820
31st-40th    $77,350
41st-50th    $61,880
51st-100th  $46,410

Unlike most Day 2's, bedlam has yet to be witnessed, but we have lost David Williams.

Also out is Chris Moore, his shortstacked all-in move with running into the American Airlines of big blind Di Dang.

, was of no help, Chris seemingly giving up by the Flop.

[snoopy1239]

Robert Williamson III (not sure where the other two are) is OUT.

As reported by former table mate Michael Greco, Robert made an all-in move with after Alan Cutler had raised under-the-gun and Lonnie Heimowitz had smooth called from the small blind.

Surprisingly, it was Heimowitz who took out the pro with A-K.

[snoopy1239]

Several empty seats appear to be signaling that Nestor Ygborn, Ryan Daut, Bruno Fitoussi, John Esposito and Harry Demetriou have all be forced to take early baths.

---------------

Todd Brunson is OUT.

His button raise with Queens was smooth called by the small blind who had Aces. A check-raise and call later and Comic Book Guy was sent back to the store.

The assassin?

Here's a clue...

Duff duff duff duff duff.

[Djinn]

Martin Wendt eliminates Doa Kim Bac and takes a little chunk from Steve Zoine after some fairly heavy preflop action...wish I could say who raised and who re-raised, but that would be pure guesswork as it was only when I saw Martin chuck in three blue 10k chips on the flop that I started paying attention...

With the blinds 400/800 there was around 50k in the pot as three players looked at the flop.  Steve Zoine and Doa Kim Bac were both shorter stacks than Wendt, who proceeded to bet out 30k from the small blind, which put the call-all-in decision on his opponents.  A heavy consider from the former short stack, before a pass, while Bac looked so short he now had little choice but to call and fllip .
Martin Wendt showed
The turn and river:    and he wins a tidy pot while Zoine breathes a sigh of relief that his laydown was, apparently, correct.

Marcel Luske flopped the stone cold nuts with T-9 on a J-8-7 Flop.

Unfortunately his opponents Turn a flush and sent the Dutchman packing.

---------------

John Duthie is also OUT.

Mateyboy raised it up pre-flop to 2k with T-9, John made it 8k with A-Ks and MB called.

Ten high Flop, John pushed and failed to improve.

Jan Sjavik takes a pot off Lars Bonding, raising his bet out of 4,600 on a flop to 11,500.

Stuart Fox is down to circa 30k after doubling up Jason Hardage with A-Q vs. J-J, nasty K-Q-9-T-2.

Meanwhile, a shortstacked Eli Elezra has since departed from that very table.

Barry Greenstein is OUT.

A-7 v Eights

No help.

-----------

Josh Arieh is also OUT.

Top pair versus flush draw, flush hit.

-----------

Peter Haslam has doubled up to over 100k, calling a pre-flop raise with , hitting a nice Flop, and pushing all-in after a pre-flop caller raised and the initial raiser re-raised.

The first guy folded, whilst the second chap called with Aces.

Diamond on the River gives Bullit Pete a great chance of progressing to Day 3.

"Yeah, I got lucky and hit my card, but when I pushed it was easily enough to get them to fold."

Break Over:

New level - 600/1,200 blinds, ante 200.
362 players remaining.

"It's turning into a crapshoot," deadpans Benjo.

Quick UK Mini-Update:

Kevin O'Connell   127k
Surinder Sunar     47.5k
Ram Vaswani      149k
Roland de Wolfe  44k
Stuart Fox          27k

Roland says, "Can I ask you a question?"  I expect, "Have you got a Nokia limited edition phone charger?" or, "How is Thomas Wahlroos doing?" or something, but no, it's "Which player who started today's name would score the most in Scrabble?"   I think his attention span might be being tested today...
