Day 2 Ends with Ludovic Sultan Leading the Final 15 Players

Day 2 comes to an end with 15 players remaining, and the chipleader is Ludovic Sultan, who finished with about 2.2 million to capture the end-of-day chip lead for the second day in a row. Sultan knocked out two of the last three players to pass Roy Al Rineh, who finished the day with 1,430,000.

WPTDS Amsterdam champion Christos Economides is third in chips with 970,000, and he now has sole possession of the points lead in the WPTDeepStacks Player of the Year race. If Economides makes the final table, he will add even more points to his total, and the deeper he finishes, the more he will increase his lead.
