A star-studded field of 141 players returns to the Pavilion room Thursday for Day 2 of Event #69: $1,500 Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better. After 14 levels of play Wednesday that saw a starting group of 372 runners take to the felt with dreams of WSOP glory, it’s east coast mixed-game grinder Jermaine Reid of the Bronx, NY atop the leaderboard with 208,500 chips.

His chip lead will instantly be endangered however by many big names and bracelet winners not far behind including Chip Jett (148,000), Shaun Deeb (143,000), Mike Watson (137,000), and Matt Savage (126,000).

Plenty more stars of the green felt are also still in the mix, with varying levels of rungood needed to progress through the day, including Carol Fuchs (124,000), Brian Hastings (96,500), Calvin Anderson (96,300), Jean Gaspard (25,000), and James Woods (23,000).

A new champion is guaranteed to be crowned Friday as 2019 winner Michael Mizrachi was busy making day 3 of the WSOP Main Event and did not enter to defend his title. The winner of this event will be awarded the top prize of $113,459 and a WSOP gold bracelet, while Thursday will see the top 56 finishers make the money, earning at least $2,433.

As day 1 had a delayed 4:00 pm starting time because of the Main Event, a level was shaved off the day, and Thursday’s restart has also been pushed back an hour to 3:00 pm local time, when the players will return to level 15, which was originally a 40-minute level.

The remaining schedule for the day was to play ten 60-minute levels with a 60-minute dinner break after level 21, but that could potentially be moved up to level 20 to accommodate the original time of approximately 9:45 pm. PokerNews will have the latest information as soon as it becomes available.
