![[user101598]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Day 2 of the Season XII WPT World Championship is set to begin in a few minutes, and the players are starting to file into the Signature Room at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa. The overall chip leader is Jason Koon, who enters the day with 252,800, and he is closely followed by Athanasios Polychronopoulos (223,100), Keith Lehr (220,900), Lee Markholt (217,700), and Day 1a chip leader Paul Volpe (215,300).
There are obviously several huge names still vying for a place on the WPT Champions Cup, including Tony Gregg, Scott Seiver, Shannon Shorr, Phil Hellmuth, and Greg Merson. Season XII WPT Player of the Year Leader Mukul Pahuja is still alive and well as is Shaun Suller, who can capture that title if he wins this event and Pahuja fails to cash.
The prize pool information will be released at some point during Day 2, and we will bring that to you as quick as possible.
