There were 435 players that bought into the $5,000 Card Player Poker Tour Venetian main event during the first three starting flights, but because registration was open well into day 2, the field was able to add an additional 102 players. The final field tally of 537 created a total prize pool just shy of $2.5 million.

The final 54 players will make the money, earning a minimum payout of $11,237. Everyone at the final table will take home at least $47,444 and the eventual winner will pocket $536,858.

Tommy ChenAfter playing six and a half 90-minute levels on day 2, just 62 players were left in the tournament. Leading the way into day 3 will be Erick Lindgren (pictured above), who bagged up 642,000. Lindgren won a big pot near the end of the night while holding 10Heart Suit10Club Suit on a flop of 10Spade Suit9Diamond Suit7Diamond Suit.

His opponent had QDiamond SuitJDiamond Suit and turned a straight when the KSpade Suit hit, but the river was the 9Club Suit to pair the board and give Lindgren a knockout. Tommy Chen (pictured right), who was the overall leader after day 1, is right on his heels with 626,500.

Other notables with big stacks include Adrian Mateos Diaz, Aditya Prasetyo, Chance Kornuth, Griffin Abel, Chris Oliver, Joe Elpayaa and Brendon Rubie.

When the players return for day 3 on Thursday, they’ll be facing blinds of 1,500-3,000 with a 500 ante and they’ll only be eight players from the money.

Here’s a look at the overnight chip counts and seating assignments.
