![[user252447]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Welcome to Day 2 of Event #37: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino.
Chad Eveslage from the U.S. will start the day as chip leader with 197,300 while England’s Louis Salter lies second with 192,000 and another U.S player, Craig Varnell, is in third with 141,300.
Other notables who bagged up chips include Mark Seif (131,200), Michael Gathy (103,000), defending champion Chase Bianchi (75,900), 2014 WSOP Main Event champion Martin Jacobson (33,800) and three-time bracelet winner Barry Greenstein (32,900).
Day 1 saw 2,020 entries reduced to 238 players after 10 levels of play. Play resumes at 12 noon with a plan to play 10-and-a-half one-hour levels before the survivors bag up chips. There will be a 15-minute break every two levels and a one-hour dinner break after today's sixth level.
The bubble burst yesterday, so the hunt is now on for the first-place prize of $292,880 and a WSOP gold bracelet. The PokerNews live reporting team will bring you all the drama from the felt as the World Series of Poker 2017 continues.
