Day 2 Fires Off at High Noon!
It’s finally here! Day 2 of the $600 Hendon Mob Mid-Major Championship fires off today at high noon (12 p.m.) local time and it is sure to be quite the spectacle.
As for the tournament as a whole, through all starting flights, there were 1,245 entries in this event which squashed the $500k GTD by nearly $200,000! Unfortunately, only 126 of those have the opportunity to bask in the glow of a Day 2 restart. These players have all locked up a guaranteed score of $1,105, but everyone’s sights are set on the $105,920 sitting at the top.
Leading the way is still Kenneth Burke from Day 1c with 885,000 and close behind him is Elias Travis with 870,000. In third is Casey Sandretto who bagged 835,000 and in fourth is Ratu Caucau with 766,000. Rounding out the top five is none other than The Hendon Mob’s own Anthony Charter who managed to bag up 755,000 in today’s final flight.
