The second day of Event #53: $1,500 Limit Hold'em Shootout saw 63 players take the felt. Yes, 64 players were originally supposed to play down to a final table of eight today, but there was a chip stack missing from seat four at table 315. Yueqi Zhu was disqualified from the tournament and you can read about it here.
So the 63 players were at eight tables of eight, except for the one table of seven. To advance to tomorrow a player would have to eliminate everyone at their table and be the last one standing. Chips traveled around the tables, from player to player. Some players got super short then found their chips again. After dinner, eliminations picked up and one by one, players including Marcel Luske, Theo Tran, Nam Le, and Jonathan Aguiar would not be making it into the next round of the competition.
Joseph Mcgowan was the first player to best his entire table and earn a seat at the final table. Following him were Sijbrand Maal, Brendan Taylor, Ben Yu, Michael Schneider, Jonathan Little, and Terrence Chan. Our last table was won by Brian Tate, completing the final table of eight.
Play begins at 3 p.m. tomorrow and once again, the winner of the event, will have to beat out his entire table to take home the coveted gold bracelet and $184,950 first place prize. Be sure to keep it locked here for all the action from the felt.
