Ante: 6,000
Day 2 of Event #79: $1,979 Poker Hall Of Fame Bounty No-Limit Hold’em gets underway at 2 p.m. local time with 139 players returning, out of an original field of 865, to battle for a share of the $1,495,363 prize pool and the $276,067 first place prize.
The top 130 players get paid, so the first drama of the day will be the early money bubble hit.
Leading the field is a very familiar name in Shaun Deeb, who has a heaping stack of 574,000, which is good for just under 100 big blinds. Deeb already has a poker hall-of-fame-worthy resume and is appropriately primed to make a run in this event that highlights hall of famers.
After Deeb, the top five counts are made up of Marsel Backa (510,000), Kfir Litman (503,000), Shane Rose (483,000) and Michael Brown (467,000).

There are two hall of famers left who still have large bounties on their heads, which will be heavily coveted by the remaining field. 2011 inductee Barry Greenstein is still alive with 337,000 and 2007 inductee Barbara Enright has 224,000 in chips. The players who eliminate them will receive a bounty amount equal to the year each was inducted.
Several other well-known players are among the final 139 as well including; Daniel Weinman (370,000), who is trying to add another deep run to his WSOP player of the year chase, Brian Green (332,000), and defending champion Ole Schemion (246,000), who is looking to do the improbable back-to-back run.
The plan is to play down to a bracelet winner today. Play begins at 2 p.m. local time. There will be 15-minute breaks every two 60-minute levels and a 60-minute dinner break after Level 24 (~8:30).
PokerNews will take you through to the end in this event as action will be rapid throughout the day.
