Day 1b Wraps with Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon Leading
The second of two flights here at the WSOPC Harveys Lake Tahoe Main Event is in the books and about 59 players survived of the 96 that entered. Leading the field is Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon with 92,400.
Also moving on is "The Captain" Tom Franklin (30,000), Donna Jetter (34,100) and Robert Castoire (18,800).
Kroon put on a one-man show for most of the evening, entertaining players and staff alike, or anyone within earshot of him. At one point he tried convincing his tablemates that this was his first live tournament. But only moments later he began a sentence with, "When I won my second bracelet..." His table quickly called him on it and he tried telling them they were hopscotch championship bracelets. (Editor's note: Kroon doesn't have a WSOP bracelet.)
Day 2 will get underway at noon sharp on Sunday. The field is scheduled to play 14 levels or to a final table of nine, whichever comes first. Follow all the WSOPC action live on Pokernews.com
