Klodnicki Crushes Day 2, Leads Final 16
Day 2 of the 2012 Sands Bethlehem DeepStack Extravaganza Main Event began with 70 players remaining from the starting field of 188. After eight 75-minute levels, only 16 players remain. Leading the way into Day 3 is Chris Klodnicki with 1,123,000.
Klodnicki began the day second in chips and after after a tumultuous first level, Klodnicki trended up for the rest of the day en route to crossing the seven-figure mark. Following Klodnicki is William Tonking (713,000), Daniel Wach (513,000), and Coury Mascagni (463,000).
Among those who returned on Day 2 but fell short of the money were Ryan D'Angelo, David Paredes, Scott Baumstein, Matt Brady, and Vinny Pahuja. The money was reached at 18 players and the unfortunate bubble boy was Abhinav Asija, who fell at the hands of Klodnicki. Matthew Burnitz and Ketan Pandya busted shortly thereafter, earning $8,000 each for their respective 18th and 17th place finishes.
Play resumes at 2pm local time Monday (the Day 3 seat draw will be done shortly before play begins), so be sure to join us then to see who will claim the $135,000 first-place prize and the title of champion.
Until then, good night from Bethlehem!
