Alex Ivan had a top five chip stack coming into Day 2 but lost a few before he showed up. He’s pulled those back and added enough chips to put him at 1,250,000 as the field crawls down toward the three-table redraw.

With 31 players remaining, the redraw is racing with the dinner-break set for the end of the level in 20 minutes.
