"November $100,000 II" (Day 2): Running Up That Day 2 Buy-In, Money Bubble Looms

"November $100,000 II"
$250 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 17 (Blinds 2,500/5,000/500)
Total Entries: 571
Players Remaining: 60

Tom Millward (Boca Raton, FL) was one of five players to utilize this afternoon's Day 2 buy-in, joining a group that included his son Chad Millward.

The headline that reads "Day 2 buy-in makes deep run" is becoming commonplace in the events that allow it, and although entering this afternoon would equate to less than ten bigs, five players decided to take a shot.  Those players that jumped in before the cards got in the air are listed below:

Tom Millward

Chad Millward

Sergio Amato

Juan Garcia

Christine DiFiore

With the field now six eliminations away from the money, both Tom Millward and Sergio Amato are still in the running to reach that point.  While both players are pretty short, they are both sitting with above ten big blinds, and have some fold equity with their stacks.  One player that both of the noted Day 2 buy-ins outlasted was Changfei Cui, who actually came into Day 2 with the sixth largest stack of those returning (300,500).  Cui busted moments ago, but can still parlay that opening flight finish into a big score, with his entry into this week's $340 No Limit Hold'em Package Satellite.
