This disclosure describes techniques for coding video data. In particular, this disclosure describes techniques for entropy coding of residual transform coefficients generated by a video coding process. In one example, a method selects a bin 2 context for coding a bin 2 level of one or more transform coefficients in the vector according to the entropy coding process. The method further codes the bin 2 level of one or more transform coefficients in the vector according to the selected bin 2 context. Selecting the bin 2 context comprises selecting the bin 2 context for a current transform coefficient in the vector based on the bin 2 level of one or more previously coded transform coefficients in the vector.
