WSOP World Championship - Day 2 - The second day is in the books and things are really starting to get interesting. The first nine who bust out today will not get anything. The rest will receive at least $12,500. The top of the list is remaining pretty dynamic. Rod Pardey Jr., of Las Vegas, is our current chip leader, with $464,000. One constant in the top tier, however, is Lee Watkinson, who sits is sixth place with $336,800. And look here, last year's champion is not only showing that his win last year was no fluke, but that he is a contender for the outright title. Greg Raymer is in ninth place with $318,700. We will not be seeing Dan Harrington making a third consecutive trip to the final table. He busted out yesterday. And it is a little sad to see that Chip Reese was knocked out yesterday, just a few places out of the money. And how about this -- we all know that the 2002 champion, Robert "The Fluke" Varkonyi, was only able to win the main event by being the biggest luckbox to ever hit the tournament. He held up to form and busted out on Day 1. However, his wife, Olga, currently has $209,500 in chips, when the average stack is just shy of $99,000.
