John Ypma is presently leading the way with 6,660,000. Ypma was already in the top three stacks when he came back to the field this morning with exactly 100 big blind and continued to build. He is currently scoring his first live WSOP event with this event and his biggest live cash.
He is closely followed by John Ciccarelli (6,635,000) and Mike Vanier (6,085,000), who will try to surpass his best result when he finished in fifth place of the 2019 $3,200 WSOP.com ONLINE No-Limit Hold'em High Roller. They are the first three players to cross six million in chips
Ypma is joined by a couple of big names: famous online crusher Jonathan "apestyles" Van Fleet (4,100,000), four-time WSOP winner Jeremy Ausmus (2,900,000), Craig McCorkell (2,430,000) and Canadian Samuel Gagnon (3,600,000). Ausmus had a comfortable stack to start the day, and although he suffered a setback or two, his stack steadily trended upward throughout the ten levels of Day 2 play.
Richard Dixon, who final tabled this same event last year to finish in fifth place for $68,604, bagged 2,000,000 in chips and will try his best for a back-to-back final table appearance.
It didn't take long for chips to start flying around once Day 2 action had begun. Several notable names hit the rail early, including two-time bracelet winner Chris Moorman (540th - $1,051), Scott Margereson (457th - $1,201), Kelly Minkin (436th - $1,293), Brett Apter (415th - $1,293), Alejandro ‘PapoMC’ Lococo (409th - $1,293) and Nacho Barbero (405th - $1,293).
Action resumes on June 29 at Level 28, blinds 50,000/ 100,000 with a 100,000 when the remaining 60 players will continue their quest for the gold. There will be a 15-minute break every two levels and a 60-minute dinner break after level 33 (around 6:30 p.m.).

The tournament's clock has now been paused and tournament officials have announced that four more hands will be played to close out the day.
Level 27
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Abdullah Alshanti raised to 160,000 under the gun and Tuan Le shoved for 375,000. Richard Dixon makes the call and once again, Le stood up from his chair to call the payout. It came back Alshanti who called as well.
The flop went 
and Alshanti bet 200,000 which Dixon called. On the 
turn, Alshanti fired 575,000 and Dixon went deep into the tank before folding:
Tuan Le: 
Abdullah Alshanti: 
Le called for an ace on the river but the dealer showed a 
and this time Le made his way to the payout desk.

A player open-shoved for 1,025,000 and it folded to Paul Tschernia in the cutoff who called all in for his last 770,000. The rest of the table folded and they tabled their cards:

Alshanti tanked for some time before announcing all inn, covering Dixon's remaining stack worth around 1,900,000. The latter considered it for some time and ended up folding reluctantly.
Tuan Le:

Level 27
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Action was picked up on the river, which completed the 
board. There was about 1,100,000 already in the pot. Konstantinos Tsikopoulos fired for 425,000 before Aylar Lie moved all in for 1,410,000.
Tsikopoulos went into the tank for several minutes, albeit not without warning. "Sorry guys, this is gonna take a minute," he told the table after Lie's shove. Tsikopoulos was in visible shock at the jam, seeming to be perplexed as to what his right move would be.
"You said I have your number, she has mine," he said to Sarah Wasch, sitting to his right.
"At least you're human," she responded.
Tsikopoulos was not doing a particularly good job of covering his hole cards, and the player to his left conspicuously leaned over and saw them. Another player across the table, Jordan Winn, pointed this out to Tsikopoulos, who was unaffected by this information.
A minute or two later, Winn called the clock on Tsikopoulos, to which he told him it was not necessary, and he made the laydown, tossing his cards into the muck. Winn asked the player who had seen Tsikopoulos' hole cards to share what they were. He remained quiet. The floor had just arrived following the call for the clock, and Winn and the table explained the situation to the floor person, who said that since one player saw them, the information must be shared with the table. Tsikopoulos obliged without objection, stating that he folded a straight, having held .
"That's sick if you made that bluff," Tsikopoulos told Lie, who said nothing, but sat that with a big smile on her face.
Several minutes later, the table was still discussing the hand, with Jeremy Ausmus remarking that it had to have been at least 10 minutes in its totality.
