Day 2 of the WPT Fallsview Poker Classic comes to an end with 19 players remaining, and the big stack belongs to Garrett Dansereau (pictured), who bagged up 3,105,000 (62 big blinds).

There was also some drama late in the last level, as Jake Schwartz was knocked down to a single big blind, but then doubled up three times to finish the day with 480,000 (10 big blinds).
