Day 2 Resumes; 25 Players Remain
The field for this €5,300 Pot-Limit Omaha event turned out to be just shy of one hundred, as a total of 97 players hit the felt yesterday to compete for the third bracelet of the World Series of Poker Europe. After eight levels of play on Day 1, Erich Kollmann sits on the top spot coming into Day 2.
Day 1 occurred at a lightning pace as the 97 entrants quickly became 25 after only eight levels. Players such as David "ODB" Baker, Jennifer Tilly, Dan Shak, Andy Frankenberger, John Juanda, Max Pescatori, and Phil Hellmuth all turned up on Day 1 only to find the rail before the day concluded.
Notable names returning to the tables today must only conquer 24 others to earn themselves a gold WSOPE bracelet. Among those returning today on that quest are Michael Mizrachi (106,500), Sam Chartier (59,100), Vanessa Selbst (42,400), Ran Azor (40,500), Joe Hachem (25,800), and Jason Mercier (23,800).
We're moments away from resuming play. The top 12 players will make money with the champion taking home a whopping €142,590. The field will play down to the final 9 today, so make sure to stay tuned to PokerNews for all of the latest updates.
