Three starting flight chip leaders have been eliminated. Michael Ferraro, who led Flight C, exited in 28th place ($506), followed shortly thereafter by Eric Dillon, the Flight F chip leader, who finished in 27th place ($550), and now Hyong Lee, the Flight G chip leader, who finished in 24th place ($650).

After 52 players returned for Day 2, the field has now been reduced to 31 remaining competitors. Players are currently competing in Level 17.

One of the biggest storylines of the day is the staying power of the starting flight leaders. Remarkably, all six chip leaders from Flights A through G are still in contention, continuing their quest to turn strong starts into deep tournament runs.

Still Standing: Flight Chip Leaders

• Flight A: Freddie Solomon – 560,000 Units
• Flights B & E: Gil Levy – 860,000 Units
• Flight C: Michael Ferraro – 590,000 Units
• Flight D: Ashraf Chehata – 740,000 Units
• Flight F: Eric Dillon – 230,000 Units
• Flight G: Hyong Lee – 370,000 Units

With an average stack of 423,000 chips, there is still plenty of room for movement as players navigate escalating blinds and increasingly important decisions.

Every elimination brings the remaining players one step closer to the final table, where the Summer Classic champion will ultimately be crowned.
