Play completed for Day 2 of the Championship with 44 players remaining of the starting 285. They made into the money late in the day and the payouts are climbing.

The surviving players will return on Monday at noon and play down to the last two tables before moving on to Day 4.

Shawn Nguyen spent time swapping the lead during the day and finished as the only player over 1 million. Peter Walsworth is closest with Nipun Java, Marvin Rettenmaier, and Chenjie Hou rounding out the top five.

Debbie LaVigne was eliminated in the last hand of the evening to leave Jessica Dawley as the last woman standing in the Championship (bagging 552,000), but she’s more concerned with winning the entire thing.
