At day's end, it was Alex Foxen (2,070,000) who bagged the chip lead. Foxen, the well-known pro from New York, has more than $22 million in recorded live tournament earnings.
Foxen led throughout much of the day and secured his place at the top of the leaderboard after a sick bluff against Kitty Kuo and a couple of late-night knockouts. He is still seeking his first WSOP bracelet, but he takes a big advantage into Day 3.
Some of the other notable players to bag up at the end of Day 2 included pros Adrian Mateos (1,465,000) and Felipe Ramos (970,000), poker commentator Jeff Platt (790,000), Alexandros Theologis (695,000), and Kyriakos Papadopoulos (610,000).
Those who fell during the day include Raj Vohra. He took down his maiden bracelet late Monday night. Vohra managed to drill a two-outer to double early, but he did not find a bag. Shannon Shorr also found some early run good, but did not advance to Day 3.
Other notables to bust a bullet included Mustapha Kanit, Alexandre Reard, Manig Loeser, Qui Nguyen, and poker commentators Nick Schulman, Tony Dunst, Brent Hanks, and Maria Ho.

Zamani Tries a Hero Call, Gets a Warning Afterward
There was about 165,000 in the middle on the turn and Martin Zamani bet what appeared to be 140,000.
Lander Lijo called and they saw the river. Lijo shoved in his last 200,000 and Zamani went deep into the tank.
"I feel like you're trying to run some ridiculous bluff," said Zamani. "It would be so silly if I lost to a bluff here."
After another minute in the tank, Zamani suggested the table could call the clock on him.
"F*** that," said one of his tablemates. "I'm finishing my beer."
Zamani finally stuck out a call and Lijo turned over for a set.
Zamani put his cards in the muck and mixed them in to prevent revealing his hand, laughing hysterically as he did. Lijo however, was not amused and called the floor. Zamani was given a warning.
