Keith Ferrera Leads After Day 1 of $2,500 No Limit
After the first day of play in the $2,500 no-limit hold’em it’s Keith Ferrera who leads the way with 187,500 chips, followed by Rick Alvarado (166,600) and Nick Rampone (153,200).
The $2,500 no-limit hold’em drew a crowd of 1,244 players that created a prize pool that exceeded $2.8 million. The winner of the event will walk away $551,941 richer, while 144 places will get paid. A total of 327 players managed to survive the day including Matt Berkey (128,600), Andre Akkari (104,200), Kenny Hallaert (103,000) and Ty Reiman (94,600).
Players that need more help on Day 2 include Marvin Rettenmaier (6,900), Jonathan Little (17,000), Sam Razavi (18,900) and Calvin Anderson (19,200).
We won’t see online heads-up specialist Dong Kim back on Day 2, as he busted by running into Eric Tomberlin’s aces, and the same elimination fate struck Eugene Katchalov, Matt Salsberg, Darryl Fish and Kevin Vandersmissen.
Play will resume on Thursday at 1:00 p.m. when 10 more levels are scheduled.
