Norberto Pardo (Day 2 Chip Leader)

The clock has been turned back to Level 15 (3:35 remaining), and the cards are in the air as Day 2 of the $360 No Limit Hold'em Deep Stack $100,000 GTD gets started.  Those that took a look through the posted chip counts may have noticed two names that were posted without chip counts (Nigel Murray and Norberto Pardo).  Pardo happened to be the overall chip leader coming into Day 2, with just over 540,000.  

The field returns only (23) spots away from the money, with a min-cash in the tournament earnings players $496, and first place prize taking home $40,946.  At this levels conclusion, the level length will transition to (50) minutes, and stay that way until the tournament has ended.  This tournament is scheduled to end today, but the deep play (along with 18,550,000 chips in circulation) and structure may not allow for that.  Regardless of what happens to end the night, the live blogged coverage will be offered throughout the day.
