The Hunt for the Double Bag

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Looking around the field there are two players already in Day 2 that are playing Day 1b in the hunt for the second bag.

The Bar Poker Open Championship has a 'best stack forward' rule allowing players to play multiple Day 1's and can take their largest stack through to Day 2.

They also pay out $1,500 per forfeited stack, so it is worth the endeavour for these players.

Last year's second-place finisher, Kourtney Sims, is still in the field today with a stack of 79,000. She bagged 185,000 for Day 2 yesterday and is looking to bring a bigger stack back from today's action.

The other player is Will Unruh, who is currently sitting last in the Day 2 chip counts with 5,000 chips. Having less than a single ante for Day 2 could prove tough for Unruh so he is out in the field looking to bag something much more healthy.
