John D'Agostino says he played it "brilliantly," when his set of 10s beat a set of 5s to add to his chip count.  He's the biggest climber as we're now on the second level of Day 2, up to 285k from his 134k starting stack.

"Let's just play a big pot, and get it over with," he says across the table to Jonas Wexler who began the day second overall at 222k, but is now at 195k.

The other big early mover is Matt Stout who is at 240k after picking up 50k from Anthony Bellino.

"I had 300(k) before the last hand," says Bellino who is at 250k after folding QQ to Stout's AA.

Start of the day chip leader Arthur Pro is up to 320k.
