Day 2 of the World Series of Poker Circuit Chester Main Event saw 158 players return of the total 322 to register. This turnout led to a prizepool totaling $467,055. Players competed for the first place prize of $109,760, a seat to the National Championship and the lovely gold WSOPC Championship ring. Leading the pack is Eugene Fouksman with 1,285,000 and not far behind him sits Ken Silverstein with 1,178,000.
After completing 14 full levels of play, 11 players remain in the hunt to take down the Main Event title. With Fouksman and Silverstein leading the way, John Mitchell rounds out the top three with 1,019,000 in chips. Also, Georgia Robinson, the last remaining woman in the field, will enter the final day of play as the short stack holding 180,000.
Unfortunately, as the field quickly dwindled down, many notable players hit the rail. Among those who were not fortunate enough to cash in this event are Allen Kessler, Amanda Musumeci, Todd Terry, Rachel Kranz, Bryan Devonshire, Dennis Phillips, Everett Carlton, Tim Finne, and Kenny Milam. Also to hit the rail today shortly after cashing was Kyle Cartwright, who managed to get his money in preflop with 
against his opponent's 
. Unfortunately for Cartwright, his opponent hit the jackpot when he flopped quad aces.
Aaron Overton entered Day 2 as the chip leader and continued his domination throughout most of the day. It was not until a hand with Rex Clinkscales that Overton's tournament came crashing down. Overton called the all in of Clinkscales on a flop of 
holding 
for middle set. Clinkscales, however, held 
for top set and Clinkscales was able to fade the case seven. Overton found his way to the rail a few hands later, busting in 24th place.
Other players who were able to make the money but not find their way to Day 3 include Michael Shasho (31st-$2,788), Peter Ippolito (27th-$3,545), Mike Sica (22nd-$4,077), Brandon Fish (18th-$5,623), and Joshua Weizer (12th-$8,206).
Cards will be back in the air for the final day of play at 2 p.m. EST tomorrow. Join us tomorrow as we watch the field wind down to a final table and beyond live on PokerNews.com.
