Coming into the day, Mikko Sundell was the chip leader. He went on to build his stack to 334,500 and continued to prove himself a fierce force in the tournament. Other notable big stacks included Dori Yacoub with 370,100, Matt Waxman with 285,300, McLean Karr with 323,400, Guillaume Darcourt with 207,000 and Alexandre Brivot with 339,400. Of course, with all poker tournaments there had to be some eliminations.
Two of the notables to bust on Day 2 included Dominik Nitsche and the WPT's own Mike Sexton. Sexton went out after having his aces cracked by on an all-club flop. The money went in on the turn and Sexton was sent to the rail during Level 10 on Day 2. A few other notables to hit the rail included Jeff Vertes, Joe Ebanks, Tony Dunst, Casey Kastle and Olivier Busquet.
There are currently no women left with Nesrine Kourdourli as the last woman standing in the WPT Grand Prix de Paris Main Event.
