Big stacks from Day 1 did not fare as well on Day 2, as the top two chip leaders coming into the day Joe Shammas and Chad Eveslage both failed to cash. Some other notables who were eliminated prior to the money bubble bursting include Fox Sports TV personality Nick Wright. Also falling short of the money were bracelet winners Erik Seidel, Yuri Dzivielevski, David “Bakes” Baker, Alex Livingston, Todd Brunson and Ari Engel.
