Almost Set for Day 2

Good morning, and welcome back to Harrah's New Orleans for the continuation of the WSOP Circuit Championship Event!

This is the final stop on the Circuit trail this season, and it certainly is shaping up to be a thrilling conclusion. The story of the day yesterday was, who else, Dwyte Pilgrim. Down to just 3,000 early in the day, Pilgrim would work his way up over the 100,000-chip mark within just a few levels. Fast forward to 11:30pm, and with just a half hour left in the day, Pilgrim was crippled down to just 9,400 in a massive confrontation with Shaun Deeb. Miraculously though, by the end of play, Pilgrim had taken over second place in the room, surpassing Deeb in the process.

Billy Kopp starts play with the chip lead, holding 271,000. The players are trickling into their seats and unbagging their chips. Play should be underway in just a few minutes.
