Event 9 (Day 2): It's A Full House, And Action Doesn't Wait

Event 9 ($300 No Limit Hold'em $300,000 Guarantee)
Level 15 (Blinds 1,500/3,000/400)
Total Entries: 1110
Players Remaining: 176
Chip Average: 126,000

The tournament area is close to capacity, with (178) players returning for Day 2 of Event 9.  Similar to "moving day" in golf, the first handful of levels on Day 2 determine the storylines that gradually unfold in the later stages of the day.  This is the most "star-studded" field we've seen since the series started two weeks ago, so we shouldn't be short on said storylines.

We've already witness Tom Gity, our Flight E chip leader (and second overall in chips), get off to a very rocky start.  Gity turned a straight with 7 8 on a board of 6 10 J 9, but his opponent held K 9, and ended up rivering a better straight, to steal the sizable pot away.  The field is still over (50) eliminations from the money bubble, so we are likely an hour or two away from the cash.
