Day 2 Has Ended, Play Resumes Tomorrow at 3 p.m.
It's been a long one. Out of the 553 players to enter the omaha tournament, 169 began play on day two. We're down to the final 18 players. Play was scheduled to last until there were only nine players remaining, but a tournament staff decision changed that and we ended play at 3:00 a.m. local time.
Soheil Shamseddin bagged up 243,000 chips and will start play tomorrow as the chip leader. Andrew Brown is in a close second place with 234,000 chips. Jim Pechac was down to a single 1,000 chip, but was able to double that up to two chips just before the end of the night. He'll come in tomorrow with a ton of work cut out for him.
Play will begin tomorrow at 3 p.m. local time. See you all there. -

Controversy At The Break
Out of the blue, the tournament staff has decided to cut today's play at 3:00 AM local time. The players then took a vote to take a 20-minute break and the majority voted yes on it. After the break, players will be playing another 15 or so minutes before play ends. Jimmy Fricke didn't really see the point in taking a break and coming back for only 15 minutes. Scott Clements on the other hand, doesn't even want to stop play early. He'd rather play to the final nine as scheduled.
