Erik Silevitch (Andover, MA)

Of the (116) players returning for Day 2 earlier this afternoon, Erik Silevitch (Andover, MA) was second to last in chips (39,000).  One would think that being 115 of 116 could be considered a pretty bad start, but he's spent the last three hours trending upwards, and now sits with just under 400,000.  Silevitch has one recorded cash on his Hendon Mob resume, a 29th place finish in the opening event of the 2015 Rock N' Roll Poker Open at SHR ($350 No Limit Hold'em - Event #1), which earned him $2,946.  If Erik were able to manage a better than 13th place finish, he would earn himself the largest cash of his career ($3,397).
