Still Alive at the WSOP....

There are some big names still alive at the close of day 2B! I was unable to find a complete list of remaining players and all the information surrounding the available lists sounds as if they may be incomplete. There's approximately 1200 remaining as they start play today at noon. But here's a few names that I have been able to find that still have a chip and a chair..... These are the Day 2B Leaders.... (Thanks, Rick)....

112 Benny Binion 19,000
92 Kathy Liebert 55,000
82 Freddy Deeb 58,000
78 Cecilia Mortensen 60,000
74 Nam Le 63,000
69 Minh Nguyen 72,500
62 Josh Arieh 82,000
60 Cindy Violette 85,000
40 Ted Forrest 125,000
30 Joseph Hachem 142,200

The payouts have been published as well. The winner will cart out $12,000,000... Yep, TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS! They will pay out through the top 873 players with the bottom check $14,597! 2nd place only gets $6,102,499! And the final 12 players will all receive in excess of ONE MILLION DOLLARS!

It appears that the best updates are still at cardplayer.com - They took a day off yesterday and resume play today at noon when blinds will be $600/$1200 with $200 ante. There'll be over 1200 players remaining when play resumes. The remaining schedule looks like this:

8/4 ABCD Play down to 600
8/5 Play 600 down to 300
8/6 Play 300 down to 150
8/7 Play 150 down to 60
8/8 Play 60 down to 27
8/9 Play 27 down to 9
8/10 **** FINAL TABLE ****

I've got to be there next year!

FYI - The chip counts you listed are from Day 2B only. There is another list from Day 2A (Jon Lane is Day 2A leader with 405,000 chips). I would imagine that Cardplayer.com will have a combined leaderboard by the time the event starts back up today at Noon PDT, 3:00 EDT.
