Two of the Hall of Fame bounties were still in play at the start ofthe day: Barry Greenstein and Barbara Enright. However, both were eliminated early in the Day 2 action. Greenstein’s bounty was the last to fall and was awarded to Jakob Miegel when his ace-king bested Greenstein’s ace-ten.
Several notables who were lost today included potential Poker Hall of Famer Shaun Deeb, who was knocked out in 12th place when he ran his pocket nines into Yuri Dzivielevski’s pocket queens. Another was two-time bracelet winner Georgios Sotiropoulos who exited in 13th after he also ran into pocket queens with his pocket jacks and the reigning champion Ole Schemion could not pull off the back-to-back titles as he was eliminated earlier in the evening.
Play will resume Tuesday at 2 p.m. local time in the Bally’s Event Center and will start on Level 31 with blinds at 100,000/200,000 with a 200,000 big blind ante.
