The dinner break is fully digested and the remaining players in Event 56 have returned to do battle for four more 60-minute levels. It remains to be seen how many players will make it to tomorrow’s Day 3 and that storyline is set to play out in the next few hours.

The leaderboard is currently crowded with stacks between 1,000,000 and 1,500,000 but an outsider from the pack might be the one who claims the lead before the end of the night. The Venetian Poker Room blog will be here for the rest of Day 2 as we near the crowning of the next DSE III Champion. The payouts for this event are below.
