Over 600 players took their seats this afternoon in at the start of Day 2 in the World Series of Poker Event #5: $565 Colossus No Limit Hold'em, but only 43 bagged chips at the conclusion of play.
Leading the way is Raul Martinez Requena, who ended the day with 5,270,000 chips after a huge surge toward the end of the night.
Several well-known players also remain in contention for WSOP gold in this event, including Matt Affleck, Robert Hankins, and Tom Hall.
However, many others weren't so lucky. Today's casualties included Cody Pack, Ismael Bojang, Sebastian Pauli, Cate Hall, Haixia Zhang, Jeff Gross, and Ryan Laplante. Both Chris Moorman and his wife Katie Lindsay were eliminated today as well.
Players will return Tuesday at 2 p.m. to play down to a final table. Follow all the updates here on PokerNews throughout the 2017 World Series of Poker.
