Eight-time World Series of Poker Circuit winner, Valentin Vornicu finished ahead of 759 other players at the end of Day 2A/B. Maria Ho, Tom Middleton, and Gaelle Baumann also finished the day with towers of chips.

Valentin Vornicu will be hoping 2016 is the year he adds a World Series of Poker (WSOP) gold bracelet to the eight World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) gold rings he has in his collection. Winning the WSOP Main Event is the only hope of realising that dream, and at the end of Day 2A/B, he leads the remaining survivors with 838,600 chips.
