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)....
