Day 2B is finally in the books and there was no shortage of action during the second flight of day 2’s at the 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event. The players who were lucky enough to survive day 2B will combine with the remaining players from 2A for the first time this tournament after a scheduled day off on Sunday. These two groups of players will form the remaining player pool and start day 3 on Monday.

While there was a ton of action during day 2B at the 2010 Main Event, this day 2 is sure to be remembered for the large number of notable poker pros who saw their luck run out. Players and texas hold’em poker stars such as Roy Winston, Layne Flack, Chris Ferguson, Marco Traniello, Jeff Shulman, Phil Ivey and Doyle Brunson will have to wait another year in order to chase poker’s most prestigious title. Brunson received a standing ovation from players in his section when he was eliminated holding pocket 7s against his opponent’s pocket jacks.

Even though there were a large number of notable players who hit the rail there were some big names that were able to navigate the massive field of players and escape day 2. Vanessa Selbst, Brynn Kenney, JJ Liu, Alexander Kostritsyn, David Sands, Florian Langmann, Phil Galfond, David Benyamine, and Jon Van Fleet will all be coming back on Monday for day 3.

Approximately 1,500 players survived day 2B while just about 1,200 players made it through day 2A. These 2,700 hopeful poker players will return from a day off on Sunday with their attention focused on the $8.9 Million first place prize.
