Adios, Day 2!

Mickey Doft

Day 2 of the PokerStars.net LAPT Punta del Este began with 145 players. Ten hours and almost nine levels later, only 24 remain. The chip leader heading into the final three tables is Cesar F. Mostafa. He quietly built his chip stack level by level, ultimately ending the day with 529,000. Closest in chips to him is the last female left standing, Daniela de Lima Zapiello with 485,500.

Among the notables still in the field include Team PokerStars Pros Jose Ignacio Barbero and Humberto Brenes. Neither started the day with a ton of chips, but both are in the top ten with over 300,000. Stephen "stevie444" Chidwick's day was quite the roller coaster, but he finished with a solid 255,000.

We'll see you right back here tomorrow at noon local time for what promises to be an exciting day on the felt as we play down to the final table. Until then, goodnight and buenas noches from Punta del Este!
