E-WSOP Day 2 Insta-Photo Gallery--UPDATED with a few chip counts


Day 2 of the E-WSOP underway

First, if you're in the States and just logging on, here's the wrap-up from Day 1.

Now, some photos.


Denis Kharitonov began the day as chip leader after a day of play on Thursday that confounded his opponents


Cruel, cruel world. Luca Pagano gets sat right next to the guy he faced on the last hand of Day 1. See yesterday's wrap-up to see why this is so cruel.


Jeffrey Rogers, thr English gentleman, ended Day 1 second in chips


Pro-gamer and PokerStars fan, Elky makes it to Day 2


This gentleman took over the role of Supreme Aggressor this morning, going all-in more times than I could count. He came out in front almost every time (although Justin Bonomo did call his 86 offsuit bluff when Bonomo held a pair of aces. This guy is now gettinig a massage after flopping quad aces against an unfortunate player's pair of sixes.


Mika Puro came into the day third in chips


Morton Stenheim, one-time King of Bad Beats, works his stack up to a respectable level


Josh Schiffman recovers from a rough start of Day 2
