Title: Day 2 of the 2006 World Poker Tour Championship Event
Log: After two flights, totaling 606 entrants, the 2006 $25,000 World Poker Tour Championship event will continue with 473 finalists going into Day 2. The numbers are in and you can click here for the latest results.

Simon Moussa leads with pack with a staggering 269,925 in chips, but Gregory Fondacaro, Tony Bloom, Thanhdat Tran, and Steve Sung are closing in. Chip Jett and Patrik Antonius teeter over the 200,000 mark, and Evelyn Ng experienced an amazing run on her first day of competition, leading the woman; Jennifer Harman, Kathy Liebert and JJ Liu by almost fifty places. Bruno Fitoussi, Barry Greenstein, David Williams and Erik Seidel are some of the players sitting on average stacks going into today's action, along with Minh Ly, Johnny Chan and James Woods who are just below the mark. Daniel Negreanu, Andy Miller and Bill Gazes are barely trailing, while Marco Traniello, Arnold Spee, Alex Brenes and Thor Hansen are still within strong contention. It's veteran Tom McCormick, "MIA" Ted Forrest (for much of flight 2) and Can Kim Hua who will need to double up or fall prey to the taller stacks and rising blinds and antes. Defending champion, Tuan Le, is still in the running, but comes in severely short stacked, along with Jeff Shulman, Max Pescatori and Darrel Dicken, who was hit hard right before yesterday's end.

Players have been assigned new random seat assignments and are six levels deep into the the tournament, with the blinds at 400-800 (100 ante).

Stay tuned to Card Player to bring you the live updates, beginning at 12 p.m. PST.
