Welcome to Day 2 of Event #39: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em. On Day 1 we saw 992 entries whittled to 205 by day’s end.
Daniel Makowsky was the overnight chip leader, stacked at 124,500. James Mackey (116,800) is right on his heels, thanks to a few big pots in the final level of play. Other notables looking to make deep runs are James Dempsey (95,000), Barny Boatman (90,000), Matt Affleck (64,200), and Jason Somerville (64,200).
