Welcome back to the 2011 World Series of Poker and the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino for Day 2 of the Event #15: $1,500 Pot-Limit Holdem .
765 took to the felt yesterday to battle it out, and after the dust settled on ten levels of play, only 88 players remain all within range of snagging one of the top 72 money earning places and a guaranteed $2,912.
However it will be the coveted gold bracelet, title of champion and $227,232 first prize that everyone will be reaching for, and it is Ronald Lee who is best placed at the start of today. Amassing 122,700 in chips, he has his nearest opponent covered by nearly 30,000, and if he can replicate his form from the WSOP Europe Main Event where he finished in third, Lee definitely has a chance of adding a gold bracelet to his trophy case.
Plenty of notables still are alive with James Dempsey, Joe Sebok, Ali Eslami, John Racener, John Dolan, and Alessio Isaia all still possessing some Event #15 chips.
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will again be on the tournament floor providing continuous live updates, so make sure to stay with us from 2:30 pm PDT as we aim at reaching the final table of Event #15: $1,500 Pot-Limit Holdem!
