Ready...Set...Go!!
Welcome back to the Rio! We are getting ready to bring you another exciting day of action as we are here for Day 2 of Event #50: $5,000 Triple Chance No-Limit Hold'em. 817 player ponied up the $5,000 for the buy-in yesterday, and of that, only 236 remain. 81 of those 236 will make the money, and the hope is to play down to a final table today.
Mark Herm will be leading the pack with 148,400 in chips, but there are plenty, and we mean plenty of big names him. We have James Akenhead, Josh Arieh, Men "The Master" Nguyen, and 2011 bracelet winners Allen Bari, Andy Frankenberger, Jason Somerville, and Jake Cody. We also have a handful of Team Pokerstars Pros, including Johnny Lodden, Lex Veldhuis, Richard Toth, Barry Greensein, Ivan Demidov, Vanessa Russo, and Joe Hachem, just to name a few.
Play will be underway in about 30 minutes, and we will be bringing you all the action as we bring you another fantastic Day 2 from the WSOP. Thanks for reading Pokernews, and stay tuned for all the fun!
