The second tournament of the Big 4 drew 411 entries to the $2,700 game, and 84 players return at noon to begin playing down to their final table. Only 52 will make the money, and the winner is looking at more than $200K for their efforts.

Jacob Kauffman built a big stack early on Day 1 and closed it with the top stack. But he has a challenging field to get through to secure at spot at tomorrow’s final table.

Cards go back in the air at noon, and we will track them all the way down.
