Pawel vs Peter at top of the standings

Day 2 has arrived and as we brace ourselves for the final stretch, we can now mull over the complete chip count as the two fields merge.

There's a big stack from each as Day 1a's Pawel Chmiel pips Day 1b's Peter Csecsetka to the top of the standings ahead of the first deal, though they are separated by just a little over one big blind once we restart.

The average stack will be around 67,250 chips and the blinds will start at 1,500/3,000 with a 300 chip ante, so expect some fraught progress as the short stacks make their moves early on.

Thirteen players will go home disappointed at missing out on the money today, and with the stakcs hanging around the 10-15 big blind mark numbering into double figures, the bubble could burst sooner than expected.
