Little With the Big Stack to Start Day 2
Welcome back to Day 2 of the Event #32 $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em (Six-Handed) where Jonathan Little comes back to the largest stack among the 128 players remaining in a field packed with talented players and former bracelet winners.
For example, not far behind Little in second position is 2013 WSOP Asia Pacific Main Event champion winner Daniel Negreanu with hopes of earning himself a sixth WSOP bracelet while adding further to Canada's head-turning total of seven bracelets won through the first 30 events.
Meanwhile Benjamin Reinhart sits in third, with Brian Rast, Justin Smith, Rogen Chhabra, Ryan D'Angelo, Steve Sung, Brock Parker, and Barry Hutter rounding out a formidable top 10.
The top 54 finishers make the cash, so more than half of those returning will be heading railward empty-handed. Meanwhile all are eyeing the $606,317 up top that is scheduled to go to the winner, with only Event #6 $1,500 "Millionaire Maker" No-Limit Hold'em and Event #26 $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em Championship having awarded larger first prizes at the WSOP thus far this summer.
The six-handed action resumes at 1 PM local time with plans to play 10 more one-hour levels, so come back then to follow all the action. Meanwhile, watch Kristy Arnett catch us up on all of Tuesday's happenings, including the story of Tom Schneider capturing his second bracelet of the summer and fourth of his career in Event #29 $5,000 H.O.R.S.E.
