There were 65 late entrants before the start of Day 2, increasing the total field size to 786 and the total prizepool to $2,630,349. First prize will be worth $675,942.
By the end of Day 2, there were 74 players remaining — just shy of the Money Bubble. (The final 72 will finish in the money, guaranteed at least $7,583.)
The chipleader is Michael Wang (pictured above) with 832,000 (139 big blinds).
Day 3 begins Wednesday at 1:00 pm PDT, and the Money Bubble should burst during the first level of the day. The field is scheduled to play another seven 90-minute levels, so they should hopefully reach the final two tables.
