The second day of the $300,000 buy-in Super High Roller Bowl at ARIA in Las Vegas started with 44 runners and finished with 19 after several hours of play. Day 1 chip leader Byron Kaverman finished the day in second place with 2 million in chips while Justin Bonomo bagged up 2.6 million and the chip lead.
Bonomo was responsible for the eliminations of poker stars Antonio Esfandiari and Nick Petragelo in the early stages of Day 2 and then took down a big pot later in the day against Rainer Kempe.
"I just had a lot of fortunate situations - my bluffs worked, my value bets worked," Bonomo told Poker Central. "A lot of people think you're lucky if you win an all in and you're behind - yes, you're lucky, but there's other forms of luck too. When I made a big hand my opponents had a big hand too - there's a lot of luck in that."
Day 3 starts at 1 p.m. local time. We will be back with another short update tomorrow morning!
