Day 2 is complete with 40 players left in the game. "AnyExtras" bagged a monster stack of 10.3 million at the end for the biggest stack, while Canada's Mike "SirWatts" Watson ended the night with just over 8 million.
They played 10 full levels on Day 2, with some action in Level 26 before it all ended for the day. There were 235 players that came back for Day 2 after quite a few overnight entries swelled the field to 587 with a prize pool of $5.87 million.
Both of the leaders got their milestones very near the end of the day. Watson bagged his 8 million stack thanks to the final hand of the night while "AnyExtras" got their 10 million with a 500k pot three hands from the end.

The 587 total entries generated a prize pool of $5.87 million and the biggest piece of that will be more than $1 million for the winner on Wednesday. Some of the prizes started getting awarded today, but it took some time to get there though, with 235 players returning but only 71 players sharing in the money.
There is almost $3.7 million waiting to be won on Wednesday's final table, but still quite a bit of money left to hand out on Day 3 as well. Players are now guaranteed $29,432 with the next pay jump to $37,590 at 31st place.
