2005 WSOP Main Event Champ and Team PokerStars player Joe Hachem didn’t disappoint the many fans that came out to support him throughout the day, as he’s made it through to Day 2 with 54,400 in chips. Australian pro Michael “Sticky” Guttman amassed the largest chip stack of all Day 1c players, though he only ranks 13th amongst the entire Day 2 field of 116 players. Guttman will return tomorrow with 162,500 in chips.
The stage has been set for a doozy of a Day 2, as we’ll see the likes of Hachem, Scotty Nguyen, Gary Benson, Lee “Final Table” Nelson, Leo Boxell and Terrence Chan mix it up with a plethora of talented locals and Internet qualifiers. We’ll be your eyes and ears reporting live from the heart of the action inside the Star City poker room and we hope you’ll join us!
Until then, good night and good luck!
