The Chase for Gold Continues on Day 2 of the $600 PokerNews Deepstack Championship

Welcome back to the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas for Day 2 of the $600 PokerNews Deepstack Championship, where cards will be back in the air at 11 a.m. local time. Yesterday, a bumper field of 5,110 hopefuls showed up to create one of the biggest fields of the summer. Out of those 5,110 entrants, 767 found a bag, all of whom secured a cash of at least $1,201 out of the total prize pool of $2,606,100.

On Day 2, the field will be again decimated as we inch closer to the first-place prize of $282,876 and the gold that awaits the last person standing in this event. It's not just the glimmering gold from the coveted bracelet shining on the horizon. Being a PokerNews sponsored event, the winner will receive a unique, commemorative 24k-karat gold coin as an additional reward.

Notorious motor-mouth Martin Kabrhel (1,049,000) is among the top stacks going into Day 2 and will no doubt be one to watch as the tournament rolls along. He will be joined by a slew of notables, including PokerNews Deepstack Challenge qualifiers Raymond Chiu (326,000), Michael Beattie (644,000), and various other WSOP Daily Deepstacks leaderboard winners.

Chiu especially stands out as he dominated the first week of the challenge with back-to-back wins in the Daily Deepstack earlier during the series to win his seat to this event.
