Defending champion Mike Matusow was eliminated earlier in the day along with a list of poker luminaries including Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer, Freedy Deeb, Daniel Alaei, and Andy Bloch. Though Roland De Wolfe entered the day as the chip leader, he finished up as the short stack, with 102,000 remaining. The Day 2 chipleader title lies with Vince Musso, who will return tomorrow with 765,500. Remarkably, Steve Sung made his way into the final ten, despite starting the day with only 6,100 in chips.
Here's a look at how our final ten stack up:
Vince Musso 765,500
Ville Wahlbeck 487,000
John Juanda 387,000
Nick Schulman 300,000
Archie Karas 264,500
Steve Sung 212,500
David Benyamine 139,000
Justin 'BoostedJ' Smith 122,500
Michael Binger 108,000
Roland de Wolfe 102,000
After a rousing protest from some exhausted players, our start time will be at 2 p.m. tomorrow rather than 1. Join us then for continuing coverage and until then, from the Rio in Las Vegas, good night and good luck.
Juanda turned up T-8-7-6-4. Zalewski paired his seven on the draw for 7-7-4-3-2 and hit the rail in 11th place.
Binger: 7-6-4-3
Karas: 7-5-4-2
Binger opened first, pulling a ten. Karas didn't bother to sweat his card. He just flipped it, revealing a pairing deuce. The dealer pushed Binger the pot, doubling him up to about 210,000.

"Where's everybody from?" Musso asked. The answers were:
Justin Smith - Florida
Steve Sung - Bakersfield, CA
Nick Schulman - New York
Roland de Wolfe - London
David Benyamine - "French Las Vegas"
A few minutes later, Nick Schulman asked David Benyamine, "Did you know Huck's Jewish?" When Benyamine replied no, Schulman added, "Yeah. 100%."
Not much else doing on Orange 77. Roland de Wolfe has reraised all in a few times with no call.
a) They should play to the end of the level and take the regularly scheduled 20-minute break.
b) They should play to the end of the level and take an abbreviated 5-minute break
c) They should stop for the night altogether at the end of this level
d) They should play past 3 a.m. until we reach the final table
We'd love to tell you what has been decided but the debate is... ongoing.
Benyamine just asked the floor exactly what the procedure was when last week's deuce-to-seven event got down to nine players. The answer? They played one table of four and another of five and moved a player between tables every half hour.
