Bryce McVay

The Monster Stack played to the final three tables and tournament supervisor Ben Beighle redrew to the field. After being down to his last roughly 125,000 early, Tampa’s Bryce McVay has rebounded and sits toward the top of the counts with about 1,250,000. That’s not the biggest in the room, but it’s solid and a great trend upward late in the event.

Athanasios Polychronopoulos

The Day 2 action has continued at a brisk pace as Level 23 brought more feltings.

The most decorated player to hit the rail thus far is Athanasios Polychronopoulos. Polychronopoulos owns nearly $2,400,000 in career earnings including two World Series of Poker gold bracelets. He got short running in to an opponent’s aces, then went bust when his Ax3x was smashed by Ah8h on a three-heart flop.

42nd: Roberto Bendeck – $704
