Day 2 of the Lone Star Poker Series Texas State Main Event at Champions Poker Club was one to remember as 218 hopefuls started daydreaming of the grand prize. When the dust settled at the end of the day after 14 hours of play, just 17 remained.
Leading the way in chips to end the day was Jared Hemingway who bagged 11,325,000. He started to accumulate a large stack with eight tables left as his chip counts rose to one of the higher ones. After a slight dip, he was able to rise again during the last three tables and put himself in pole position at the end of the day.
