Day 2 of the WPTDeepStacks saw 128 players return to play down to the final table. The Day 2 qualifiers got off to a fast start this afternoon, which quickly brought the field to the money bubble and hand-for-hand play. After nearly a full level of play on the bubble, the top 85 were brought into the money shortly after 5:00pm. From there, with all the remaining players securing the payout of at least $3,000, the action picked up drastically and produced over 30 eliminations in the next hour of play. Once the stacks got deeper and the pay jumps got bigger, play returned to a slow tournament grind.

Ryan Yu and Santiago Plante controlled the largest stacks in play for almost the entirety of play on Day 2, each taking turns as the chip leader. But it was Patrick Quinn who will lead the field going into Day 3. Quinn kept his head above water with a stack that hovered around the chip average for most of the flight before the cards turned in his favour in the late stages of play and helped him run up an impressive stack of 4,190,000.

All the remaining players are assured a five-figure payout from this event. But only one player will walk away with the victory, the $151,220 top prize and the bragging rights that come with being the WPTDeepStacks champion. Play will resume tomorrow at 1:00pm

The following table contains the chip counts for the eight finalists.
