The wild ride of Nozomu Shimizu, who was the chip leader after Day 1B and second in chips for the start of Day 2, ends in the second level. His seat is open and the chips all moved over one spot to Amit Kaushik, who now sits above half a million in chips.

Several other big names also fell in the last couple of minutes such as Christopher Mateo, Alex Lindop, Park Yu “Sparrow” Cheung, Jaesung Lee, Marc Joseph, and Raju Jaruplavath.

According to the screens, there are 171 players remaining.
