On Monday, five players returned for the second day of the 2016 World Series of Poker Main Event - where the winner will take home over $8,000,000!
Qui Nguyen started the day with twice the stack of his closest opponent, but he got off to a rough start and doubled up Michael Ruane (started day 2 with the smallest stack) already on the fourth hand. However, Nguyen remained out in front despite the early hit to his stack.
Only three hands after Ruane's double, Gordon Vayo doubled against Vojtech Ruzicka. Vayo overtook the chip lead from Nguyen 2-3 times on Day 2 but still finished the day with the smallest stack among the three survivors, who will return tonight and play down to heads-up.
Seat 1: Qui Nguyen - 197,600,000 (164 bbs)
Seat 2: Cliff Josephy - 50,000,000 (41 bbs)
Seat 3: Gordon Vayo - 89,000,000 (74 bbs)
