James Calderaro is among the players over 400,000 in Level 17 of Event 56 as the money bubble nears. 

Over 100 players are off to other pursuits so far on Day 2 of Event 56 and the field is edging closer than ever to the money bubble. With two levels completed and plenty of chips moved across the Venetian Poker Room, we figured now would be the perfect time to give an update on the current leaderboard. Matthias Eibinger is maintaining his chip lead from the start of the day and it will be interesting to see if he can continue to chip up like he has over the first few levels of the day.

The chip counts are going to shift quite a bit throughout the day but it would come as zero surprise to see a few of the players with heaps now return for tomorrow’s Day 3. A look at the leaderboard is below.

Matthias Eibinger – 620,000
