A total of 157 runners came back for Day 2 of Event #76: $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. at the Rio All-Suites and Casino. When the last chance saloon had closed for business there was just 19 left, with three-time bracelet winner Brian Hastings bagging the chip lead, with a tremendous 667,000 in chips.
Some other big stacks moving on at the end of ten levels of play are Australia's Tim Marsters (572,000), four-time bracelet winner Jeff Madsen (416,000), France's Bruno Fitoussi (382,000), and Ben Landowski (364,000) rounding out the top five.
The star-studded lineup in the field to start Day 2 had many bracelet winners make it through to Day 3 including John Hennigan (361,000), Dutch Boyd (347,000), Andrew Brown (190,000), Carol Fuchs (132,000), Tony Ma (56,000) and six-time bracelet winner Jeff Lisandro (51,000).
It was on level 17 when Richard Fuller sent Brandon Shack-Harris home as the bubble boy with a higher two pair. All players were then guaranteed a min-cash of $4,462, Ryan Himes being the first one in the money as he was eliminated in the same hand as Shack-Harris but had a larger stack.
There were many notable players that made the money but were not fortunate enough to last until Day 3 including Phillip Hui (20th Place - $6,524), Benjamin Dobson (23rd Place - $6,524), Eli Elezra (24th Place - $6,524), Dan Heimiller (26th Place - $5,694), Brock Parker (35th Place - $5,105), Justin Liberto (36th Place - $5,105), David Singer (38th Place - $5,105), and Ben Yu (53rd Place - $4,462).
