Bag 'em and Tag 'em

The day was filled with action from start to finish as the field whittled down from 884 players to approximately 300. (The number on the board currently reads 314, but it's been that way for a solid half hour).
Praz Bansi is your certifiable unofficial overnight chip leader with 960,800 in chips. A significant majority of those chips came from Team PokerStars Pro J.C. Alvarado in a hand in which the Team Mexico Pro was eliminated from the competition. Alvarado flopped top set (queens) but Bansi turned a flush. Needless to say, the two got it all in and Alvarado failed to improve on the river, cementing the pot for the Englishman.
Joining Bansi at the top of the overnight leaderboard are big stacks [Removed:197], Marc Etienne McLaughlin and Wayne Bentley. Team PokerStars Pros Ivan Demidov, Dario Minieri and Johnny Lodden also fared well this afternoon and each will return tomorrow for Day 3 play.
Among the less fortunate players who failed to reach the bag-and-tag portion of the day were Team PokerStars Pros Benjamin Kang, Barry Greenstein, Humberto Brenes, Peter Eastgate and Marcel Luske.
Action is scheduled to resume at 12:00 noon EST Friday afternoon. Join us then for our continued coverage of the 2010 PokerStars.net PCA Main Event from Atlantis Resort, Hotel & Casino in The Bahamas.
Until then, good night and good luck!
