It seems like so long ago.
Some 16 hours ago, in fact, we began play on Day 2 of Event #33. The whole thing kicked off with 261 players; 120 of them came back for the latest installment today. Now, with the last elimination, we are down to eight players, and we can finally call it a night.
Today saw ups and downs for the majority of the players left. Matt Grapenthien was our chip leader at this time last night, and tonight he was knocked out in 15th place. Annie Duke, meanwhile, nurtured a medium to short stack for the duration of the tournament, only to find herself with the chip lead just a couple hours ago. She has fallen off a little bit, and our new chip leader heading to tomorrow is Sebastian Ruthenberg with 663,000. Here's the way they set up for the final table:
Sebastian Ruthenberg: 663,000
Chris Ferguson: 434,000
Alessio Isaia: 398,000
Marcel Luske: 308,000
Robert Beveridge: 308,000
Annie Duke: 277,000
Steve Sung: 207,000
Bob Lauria: 40,400
We are on the "ten hour rule" so we're going to begin just a little later than originally scheduled tomorrow. We expect to kick off the last day right at 5:00pm local time. We thank you for sticking with us tonight, and we hope you'll join us tomorrow for the conclusion of this Stud Hi/Lo World Championship. Goodnight!
