Players are on the first break of Day 2 with 52 players remaining and 45 getting paid. The chip average is hovering around 50 big blinds but that number is skewed thanks to the big stacks of Carl Carodenuto, Antuan Bunkley, and Ron West.

Carodenuto continues to lead with 1,100,000 over Bunkley’s 821,000 with West not far behind with 775,000.

Other notable players still around include John Holley (296,000), Tony March (109,000), and Seminole Hard Rock Poker ambassador Sheddy Siddiqui (310,000).
