Howard Mash Leads Day 3 of Event #32: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em Championship
Day 2 of Event #32: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em Championship has concluded with 252 players remaining in the running for the 2019 bracelet and $662,594 first prize. This is almost exactly the figure won by the 2018 Seniors champion Matthew Davis; the field this year totaled 5,916, two off last year’s number.
Leading the Day 3 combatants is Howard Mash, the only player to top 2,000,000 in chips. Close behind him lie Anthony Martin (1,759,000), WPT champion Victor Ramdin (1,688,000), Ron Fetsch and Thomas Loya (both with 1,493,000). John Esposito, Barry Greenstein and Layne Flack will also return to the felt, shorter-stacked but just as dangerous.
Eliminated in the money during Day 2 were start-of-day chip leaders Adilson Moraes and Albert Halfon, three-time bracelet winner Barbara Enright, 2012 champion Allyn Shulman, and Steve Albini. Joe Hachem also busted after the bubble burst; fellow Main Event champion Greg Raymer was out before payouts began at 888th place. For full details of prizes awarded thus far, please see the Payouts tab above.
Play resumes at 11:00 in the Amazon Room tomorrow as the battle for Sunday’s final table commences. Everyone returning is guaranteed at least $3,279 for making it this far, outlasting the majority of a field that rivaled those in the record-breaking Big 50. Pokernews will be standing by to track the action from the first card in the air.
