*Denotes 7-way ICM chop.
It took less than 45 minutes of play on Day 2 for 19 players to fall, including 2020 WSOP.com $1,000 NLHE Championship bracelet winner
Nahrain Tamero. That left the top 112 players getting a piece of a $312,600 prize pool.
Among those to cash but fall short of the final table were Day 1a chip leader
Happy Spaulding (9th - $4,376),
Kobe Brown (15th - $2,626),
Adrianne Hall (21st - $2,157),
Anthony Bland (42nd - $1,219), WSOP bracelet winner and Day 1b chip leader
Ben Moon (55th - $1,125),
Bob Chow (62nd - $1,032), Brad Sailor (63rd - $1,032), and
Harold Singleton (80th - $907).
At the final table,
Philip Bruning began as the third-biggest stack, but two coinflips in near succession ended his run in eighth place. First, his pocket eights failed to hold against ace-king, and shortly thereafter he got it in with pocket threes and once again losing, this time to ace-jack. Bruning took home $5,002 for his eight-place finish, and not long after the final seven agreed to an ICM deal to end the tournament.
