Depending on what you view as an asteroid. The second largest non-Dwarf Planet KBO is 2007 OR 10 (this is a fairly newly discovered object and is based on some guesswork) falling just behind Sedna. The second largest non-Dwarf Planet in the main asteroid belt is Vesta which falls only slightly behind Pallas. However, Vesta has more mass.
