Guess Faraz Jaka didn't need to open that can of tuna after all (see Jaka's twitter account for more info), he decided to open up a can of another kind instead!
Jaka (2011 PTPR Rank: 2094th) had a monster Day 2 at the PCA. How good of a day you ask? Well, he had about 129K in chips heading into Monday play. He bagged over 900K chips by the end of the day!
Jaka holds close to a 2:1 chip advantage on his second place opponent.
Erik Cajalais (2011 PTPR Rank: NR) hopes to continue his good start to 2012 - he is currently third in chips.
Florida State Championship winner Connor Drinan (2011 PTPR Rank: 168th), Alex Kuzmin (2011 PTPR Rank: 39th), Ruben Visser (2011 PTPR Rank: 2094th) and Robin Van Gils (2011 PTPR Rank: NR) all appear on the Top 10 list after Day 2.
Defending Champion Galen Hall (2011 PTPR Rank: 22nd) is still alive after Day 2. Hall has a little over 192K in chips heading into Tuesday's play.
Also alive is golf pro Sergio Garcia. After a strong finish to the 2011 PGA European Tour season, Sergio hopes that his golfing success translates to the poker table. Garcia starts Day 3 with a little over 105K in chips.
