The Royal Flush Girls record a brief segment introducing Day 2 of the tournament.

CrazyMarco Johnson flopped a set of eights in the first level of the day and quickly called when his opponent three-bet all in. Unfortunately, his opponent flopped a set of jacks. With one out in the deck, Johnson caught the case eight on the river to win the pot. Johnson would go on to finish the day with 233,500 (77 big blinds).

Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler and Adam "Roothlus" Levy on Day 2 of the WPT Legends of Poker. Levy would bust in the final minutes of the day, while Kessler survived with 83,500 (27 big blinds).

Justin Young describes his experience with "The Tickler" to Kimberly Lansing. This story is too unusual to repeat here, but you can see Young describe it in his own words by clicking here and watching the short video.

Chris Moore (in the red sweatshirt) claimed the bounty on Barry Greenstein and received an autographed copy of Barry’s book, Ace on the River. Moore would finish the day with 120,000 in chips (40 big blinds).

Ted Lawson doubled up with pocket tens against another player’s pocket fours, and carried the momentum to the end of the day, finishing with 115,000 (38 big blinds).

Kimberly Lansing interviews Amit Makhija in a segment that will appear on this episode of the World Poker Tour, which will air in early 2011.

J.C. Alvarado finished Day 2 third in chips with 430,000 (143 big blinds). On his Twitter feed (@JCAlvarado1), Alvarado posted, "I realized that I didn’t have a hand better than 1 pair all day, if I remember correctly. Maybe I can win with sets the next 3 days?" In another tweet, after listing his end-of-day stack, Alvarado wrote, "Starting to get a good feeling about this."

Phil Collins (online name: USCphildo) started the day with just 13,000 in chips (21 big blinds), but managed to finish the day as the dominant chipleader with 898,000 (299 big blinds). If that weren’t impressive enough, Collins also suffered from food poisoning today based on something he ate from room service back at his hotel last night. David "Doc" Sands (background, black sweatshirt) is as amazed as everyone else.

Day 3 begins Monday at 1:00 pm PT, with 60 players returning to play another six levels. Return to WorldPokerTour.com for complete live coverage, with updates, photos, chip counts, and video interviews with Kimberly Lansing. And don’t forget to follow us on Twitter — @WPTLiveUpdates.
