Jason TheMasterJ33 DeWitt ended the first Day 2 with the second largest stack in the WSOP Main Event at 382,000. His stack was shaved in half early on before he was transferred to a new table. There, he quickly rebounded, according to his Twitter feed: “And back up to 95K. JJ>TT pf in LP situation vs the same kid who I made a bad bluff against.” He was at nearly 100,000 entering Wednesday’s dinner break.

After dinner, DeWitt (pictured) came out swinging. He wrote on Twitter, “172K. Hero called 4th pair for 60k pot, won a 3bet pot, and got someone to bluff 24K when I had top 2 pair.” Entering the last level of the night, he had 175,000 in chips to his name and, if you’ll recall, he ended with 382,000. So what happened?

A big hand helped balloon DeWitt’s stack. According to his Twitter, “266K after winning a big 3bet pot with a straight. I was waiting to hit a hand vs that guy all day.” He concluded his run by saying, “382,900 to end the night. I might be chip leader. Day 3 on Thursday with 800/1,600 blinds.”

Chris Moneymaker, whose 10-year anniversary of winning the Main Event was one of the major storylines of 2013, hit the deck on Day 2 during the first level of play. He ran A-J into A-A on his final hand and “The Man Who Started it All” ended up on the rail. Also exiting was France’s Gaelle Baumann, who bubbled the Octo-Nine last year.

Last year’s Main Event champion, Greg gregy20723Merson (pictured), ended Day 2 in 18th place with a stack of 275,000. In one of the final hands of the night, Merson scooped a pot on a board of A-10-6-5-K with three diamonds to move up the leaderboard even further. His marathon heads-up session last year, which stretched until 6:00am local time at the Rio, resulted in a payday of $8.5 million. No one has made back-to-back Main Event final tables since Dan Harrington in 2003 and 2004.

Here are the top 10 stacks after Day 2A and 2B:

1. Nick Schwarmann – 413,600
