The second and final day of the Hollywood Poker Open Season 3 Charles Town Regional Main Event will go off at 12 p.m. today inside the Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races in Charles Town, West Virginia.
Play will resume with the start of Level 15 and on the stone bubble with Just 12 players remaining and 11 spots getting paid. Up top sits a $35,803 first-place prize with the winner also taking home a $2,500 seat in the Championship Event at M Resort Casino and Spa in Las Vegas this June.
After taking most of 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Chris Moneymaker's chips in the wee hours of the morning with a massive full-house-over-full-house cooler, Leesburg, Virginia's Carl Garland will come in with the chip lead. However, fellow locals Mike Axen, Chris Yeary, Chris Grove, and Ronald "Rooster" McDonald all loom within striking distance.
Plus, a host of confident and experienced shorter stacks fill out the final 12, led by by Season 3 HPO Grantville champion Steven Gurney-Goldman, who has the proven end-game experience to take a second HPO title down this year.
Play begins with two six-handed tables and plans to redraw when they get down to 10. The levels jump to 60 minutes today and there will be a 15-minute break after every two with a 60-minute dinner planned for the end of Level 20.
The PokerNews Live Reporting team will be here to cover all the action until an HPO Charles Town champion is crown, so stay tuned to see who takes it down.
