Day 2 of the 2014 PokerStars Caribean Adventure Main Event is upon us. The second day of play will see at least 632 players advancing from the two starting flights and registration remaining open until the start of play today, the Imperial Ballroom at the Atlantis Resort will be a crowded place once again.
Entering Day 2 with the overall chip lead is 2007 World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner Shankar Pillai. He finished Day 1b with 173,900 in chips and will be looking to continue to lay the hammer down in the quest for another major title.
Other notables advancing to Day 2 are Marcel Luske, Timothy Reilly, Noah Boeken, David "ODB" Baker, Dario Minieri, Vanessa Selbst, and Maria Ho.
Another player advancing to Day 2 and doing so with more than double the starting stack is Fabian Quoss. Just two days ago, Quoss earned the largest score by winning the $100,000 Super High Roller for $1,629,940. Quoss defeated high roller living legend Dan Shak to claim the title. Towards the end of Day 1b, Quoss earned a double up through Dan Kelly an aces-versus-kings confrontation that landed him the win, and he'll take 65,800 in chips into Day 2.
The reigning WSOP Main Event champion is also still alive, albeit with just over half the starting stack. Ryan Riess played Day 1a and dropped as low as 8,000 in chips before climbing back to finish on 16,500. After vocally claiming that he feels he is the "best player in the world," lots of eyes are on Riess to see if he can walk the walk.
The man Riess succeeded in his WSOP Main Event win, 2012 WSOP Main Event champion Greg Merson, finished Day 1b with 108,200.
Play is scheduled to kick off promptly at 12 p.m. local time here in the Bahamas, and you can bet your house that PokerNews is the place to be for live updates straight from the tournament floor.
