Final 30 Return To Contend For Final Table Seat
Welcome back to our coverage of the 2012-13 World Series of Poker Circuit River Rock Main Event. Yesterday's play saw the 246 players from the three starting days combine to create the Day 2 field. At the end of the day a mere 30 participants remained with Sonny Sekhan leading the field with a stack of 1.762 million.
Yesterday's play saw a slew of notable faces return to the felt for their shot at poker glory. Unfortunately for some, they were unable to gain any momentum and busted before the field made the money. Alex Sutherland, Noah Vaillancourt, Greg Mueller, Mark Bonsack, and Matt Jarvis were just some of those players.
The money bubble was popped roughly halfway through the day once the field was whittled down to the final 108 players. Some of those to find their elimination after cashing were Darren Kennedy (107th), Daniel Idema (103rd), Day 2 chip leader Jingjing Liu (79th), Scott Stanko (69th), Scott Stiglitz (67th), Kelly Kellner (54th), Joel Micka (42nd), and Isaac Baron (37th).
Today has the possibility of being a comparatively quick day as play will stop once the final table is reached. Be sure to stay tuned to our coverage as we remain on hand for the players' quest to the final table!
