After 11-hours of poker, Event #2 $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em has managed to whittle itself down to 240 players from a huge field of 2,101. We didn't make the money but boy were we close. The man with more chips than anyone else is Sadan Turker, who bagged and tagged an impressive haul of 158,100 chips. Turker is no stranger to finding his way through huge fields after finishing 2nd in last years $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em event. That event contained 4,178 entries and he earned $377,411 for that finish, but there is $517,725 up for grabs if he can go one place further this time around.
Hot on the heels of Turker are WSOP bracelet winner Eli Elezra with 155,900, Ryan Snickles with 142,400 and multiple WSOP bracelet winner Brandon Cantu with 130,100. Other superstars of poker returning for Day 2 are the likes of Phil Hellmuth with 44,600, Jason Mercier with 41,900, John Juanda with 60,700 and Vanessa Selbst with 52,300.
Day 2 will commence in the Amazon room at 13:00 where the money bubble will be breached, so make sure you join us at Pokernews for all of the action.
