Matt Sundberg leads the Day 2 return

PPO Event 3 drew 131 entries over two starting flights and 17 players return this afternoon at 1 pm to play down to the champ with $17,575 up top.

They have some business to take care of early in the day; they will start at three short-handed tables but break to two tables with the first elimination. They will also take a short break after Level 12 so the purple chips can be colored out of action (Flight B ended before that point in their day).

They are all in the money and we will post results as they go.
