After another 10, 60-minute levels, Day 2 of the $3,500 No Limit Hold’em Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open Championship event is in the books and there are two players over the 1 million chip mark that lead the final 34 players.

Jessy Alech holds the chip lead with 1,205,000 and Joao Simao is right on his heels with 1,073,000. They are the only two players with a seven-figure chip count at the end of Day 2.

Jean Gaspard (962,000), Ari Engel (912,000) and Joe McKeehen (906,000) round out the top five. SHRP Team Member Sheddy Siddiqui is the only other player above 900,000. He’ll start Day 3 with 902,000.

Other notables still in the hunt for an RRPO title and $374,240 include Curt Kohlberg, Thomas Marchese, Shaun Deeb, Jake Bazeley, SHRP Team Member Darryll Fish, David Peters, Dan Colman, SHRP Team Member Faraz Jaka and Victor Figueroa.

The day started with 215 players hoping to get into the money with the top 79 players securing at least a min-cash worth $4,900. The money bubble burst just six minutes before the dinner break. When they came back, they lost more than half of the field and finished with 34 players.

Cards get back in the air at noon on Monday for Day 3. The levels will be increased to 90 minutes in length and the plan is to play down to the final 18 players before stopping for the night. Everybody is guaranteed at least $10,260.

Complete chip counts will be posted shortly.
