Kurtzman Leads Stacked Field Into Day 2 of Event #16: $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship
Eric Kurtzman heads the 35 survivors from Day 1 into Friday's play in Event #16: $10,000 Limit Hold'em, with a few more entrants likely to join with registration open until cards are in the air at 2:00 pm local time.
Kurtzman will take his 466,000 chips up against plenty of notables that made it to Day 2 including two-time bracelet winner Yuri Dzivielevski (270,000), Event #2: $25,000 HORSE fourth-place finisher Chad Eveslage (162,000), two-time bracelet winner Anthony Zinno (159,000), 2021 Event #3: $1,000 Covid-19 Relief Charity winner Jeremy Ausmus (112,000), two-time $50,000 Poker Players Championship winner Brian Rast (108,000), and many more.
With play starting at Level 11 with limits of 4,000 / 8,000, there will also be several key players starting close to or under the ten big bet mark including four-time bracelet winner Mike Matusow (93,000), three-time bracelet winner and runner-up in Event #2: $25,000 HORSE, Benny Glaser (49,000), and nine-time bracelet winner Erik Seidel, who comes into the day looking to quickly spin up the shortest stack in the room (22,000).
Play is scheduled for seven 90-minute levels, or down to the live-streamed final table of five players, who will then battle for the bracelet Saturday on PokerGo.
