Main Event Day 2 Underway
Day 2 of the Maryland State Poker Championship Main Event is underway with 22 players currently left in the running from a starting field of 245. For the second year in a row, the tournament has failed to meet its guarantee, which this year was set at $500,000. That means there is some extra value for anyone who did choose to enter.
Nicholas Banyas is the chipleader at the moment with a stack of 1,100,000, the only player so far to have made it into seven figure territory. Pokerstars ambassador Parker Talbot is also in contention with 448,000, good for a roughly tournament average stack.
Everyone who is left is guaranteed at least $4,511 with $110,578 and a NAPT Gold Pass up top for the winner. Check out our live updates here to stay abreast of the action.
Looking ahead to the rest of the day, Event #17: $1,100 Live! Stacks Championship kicks off at 2:15 p.m. local time. That tournament comes with a healthy $50,000 guarantee and is set to play down to a winner today.
