Day 2 of the big, $350 buy-in, $100,000 guaranteed Winter Poker Open re-entry event begins at 12pm. Just 74 players are still in the game from 502 starting and Fred Paradis tops the field.

Paradis slept two nights on the chip lead after bagging Monday’s Flight A with 441,000. He begins today’s restart at the top looking down and is one of only two players over the 400,000 mark. The other — Joe Godbolt — has 416,000.

Others notable stacks include Tom Nguyen, Anthony Astarita and Event 1 runner-up Tony Tran all in the top 10. Tampa regulars Karl Manouchakian, Cheri Beatty, Herbert Woodbery, Anthony Dianaty and Wally Maddah begin Day 2 outside the top 10.

Tournament updates will begin at 12pm and run all the way through to the crowning of a champion. Good luck, Day 2 players!
