Day 2 Getting Set to Begin
After an action packed Day 1 to the only Triple Chance Tournament in the series this year, we were left with just 157 players left fighting for the bracelet. Among those still competing are Andy Black, Isaac Haxton, Justin Smith, Ted Forrest, Kathy Liebert and Andy Frankenberger. One table in particular, number 366, should be especially entertaining. Carlos Mortensen and Sam Trickett will be sitting next to each other with David Sklansky only a couple of seats down from them.
There are a few players already over the 100,000 mark. The stacks of J.C. Tran, Jonathan "Monster_Dong" Karamilikis, and Bradley McFarland have all hit six figures but none were able to capture the chip lead. They are all chasing Peter Hernandez who has a whopping 124,700 chips! To put it into perspective, the average chip stack won't surpass that number until we get down to less than 50 players!
Another thing to keep an eye on early is that we are just 13 eliminations away from the money. Some players will be trying to cash while others take advantage of the bubble and attack the short stacks. The excitement and heartbreak the WSOP is so well known for is sure to happen early, late and all day in between. You won't want to miss any of the action when play resumes in about 15 minutes at 2:30 pm local time so stay close to PokerNews for all your updates!
