The rules announcement was made for players in the Day 2 field moments ago, and the cards are in the air.  There were (15) players that chose to buy-in before the day got started, including Alexander Turyansky (Saarbrucken, Germany).  Alexander's name may sound familiar, having bubble the November Nine two years ago at the WSOP $10,000 Main Event (10th place - $756,897).  Turyansky primarily plays in the largest cash games here at the Isle, but didn't want to pass up the opportunity to run up the twelve big blind starting stack.  The list of players to buy-in this morning includes names like:

Robert Oxen
Derek Duckett
Dimetrii Perfilev
Rusland Dykshteyn
Jose Parra
Daniel Pearlman
Denton Brown
George Dolofan
Barry Pevner
Uri Kadosh
Anthony Ruberto
