Following just over an hour of Day 2 play, the 115-player restart field is down to the final 72 and all are assured a payday of at least $640. It was Dunedin, Fla.’s Praveen Challagundla who did the dirty work busting an unknown player 73rd and bursting the money bubble.

On the first hand of hand-for-hand play, the player shoved under the gun for 42,000 and it folded all the way around to Challagundla in the big blind. He quickly called flipping over AhKc. The UTG player was in a world of hurt as he exposed KdJd.

The flop and turn came 7h4h3c9h and by the time the Ks fell on the river the UTG player was already halfway out the door.

All remaining players have locked up $640 with a top prize of $51,197 and a $1,650 WPO Championship seat heading to first.
