Denise Milani is among those not playing this year's PCA Main Event.
Like the movie Fast & Furious, the action was fast and furiousTM on Day 2 of the 2010 PCA Main Event.
About 300 remain, with Praz Bansi as the overnight chip leader, stacked at 960,800.
Plenty of big named big stacks remain, including but certainly not limited to Eric Froehlich (467,500), Dario Minieri (389,200), Amnon Filippi (386,300), 9/11 conspiracist/rapper Jeff Madsen (290,200), Ivan Demidov (259,300), Phil Ivey (227,400), and Paul Wasicka (224,800).
Yesterday’s chip leader, Annette Obrestad, a woman, was eliminated.
Get full chip counts here. More Denise Milani at the beach here.
Greek babe Natali Thanou, a woman, was not among the Day 1B chip leader.
Another 846 entered Day 1B of the 2010 PCA Main Event, bringing the total field to 1,515. This breaks last year’s record of 1,347 and should produce well over a $3M first place prize.
Pretty much the only big name that didn’t show up was Phil Hellmuth. As he tweeted:
Feel like I am the only poker player in the world that didn’t show up to the Bahamas for the PCA! Even Ivey made it! ESPN covering it…
At the end of Day 1B play, Annette Obrestad, a woman, was chip leader, stacked at 147,000. Some other notable big stacks include but are certainly not limited to Paul Wasicka (116,300), Phil Ivey (115,000), Vanessa Rousso, a woman (110,000), Robert Mizrachi (108,000), and Liz Lieu, a woman (85,000).

The PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event has turned into…dare we say…a marquee event on the tournament circuit?
This year’s edition brought out 669 players for Day 1A yesterday, setting up what should be around a $3M first-place prize when registration closes today.
Day 1A chip leader was Wayne Bentley, stacked at 335,000. He’s followed by some big names, including but not limited to Kevin Saul (170,000), Eric Froehlich (165,000), Vivek Rajkumar (112,000), James Mackey, a ginger (104,000), Barry Greenstein (98,000), Daniel Negreanu (91,500), Dennis Phillips (90,000), and last year’s winner Poorya Nazari (78,000).
