Welcome to Day 2 of the August 2019 Colorado Poker Championship

Tanner Stiverson
Tanner Stiverson

After three initial flights, the time has come for the field to combine for Day 2 of the August 2019 Colorado Poker Championship $1,100 Main Event.

Sixty-one players will return out of a total 330 entries, a 25-percent increase from last August. Of the players returning, 36 will make it into the money and lock up $2,401. All competitors will be looking up at Wendy Freedman in the chip counts, who enters the day with 597,500 in chips. Freedman got through on Day 1a and was able to remain on top through all three starting flights.

A pair of players from Day 1c are the only other two players coming into the day with over 400,000 in chips. Jay Jesse (425,000) and Tanner Stiverson (412,000) round out the top three, though they are far from the only players with a very real shot at making some noise.

Day 1b chip leader Greg Geller (365,500), Adrian Buckley (293,000), Ben Keeline (210,500), Thomas Fuller (161,500), and Nick Pupillo (147,000) are just a few of the remaining players among a sea of known regulars to the Colorado tournament scene that have their eye set on the $73,621 first-place prize.

For Day 2, play will begin at the start of Level 15 with blinds of 1,500/3,000/3,000 and progress from there with one-hour levels. Play will continue until nine players remain, at which point players will bag their chips for the night and return to play Day 3's final table on Monday.

PokerNews will keep you onboard the rest of the way. Be sure to stick around to follow the journey to the final table.

Meyer Getting Shorter

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Nick Pupillo opened to 7,000 from early position and received a call from Mike Meyer in middle position. The flop came {5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{j-Spades} and both players checked.

The turn fell {j-Hearts} and Pupillo bet 8,000. Meyer called. The river was {a-Spades} and Pupillo put forward a stack of red T5,000 chips, effectively putting Meyer all in. Meyer thought for a few seconds and folded.

Peragallo Arrives Just in Time

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Andrew Peragallo
Andrew Peragallo

Andrew Peragallo was seen running to his seat as cards were in the air. Several minutes later, the pile of chips that was in front of him was neatly stacked for a total greater than what was in front of him when he sat down. According to him and tablemate Ben Keeline, Peragallo arrived at his seat with about three cards left to be dealt. He was under the gun and play was halted for the dealer to confirm he was in the correct seat.

Peragallo raised to 7,000 and received a call from Stephen Zipprich in middle position. The two went heads up to a flop of {a-}{10-}{5-} and both players checked.

The turn came {3-} and Peragallo bet 10,000. Zipprich raised to 30,000 and Peragallo put him all in. Zipprich called.

Stephen Zipprich: {10-}{10-}
Andrew Peragallo: {a-}{a-}

Zipprich was elated to get his set of tens in until he found out that he was up against Peragallo's set of aces. He had one card left in the deck to help him and one chance at it. The river came {2-} and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Konarske Sends Meyer Home

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Adrian Buckley opened to 7,000 from the cutoff and Mike Meyer three-bet all in for his last 24,500 from the button. Eddie Konarske shoved over the top from the big blind and Buckley reluctantly asked for a count. Konarske's stack was totaled to be 70,000 and Buckley thought for a bit before folding.

Eddie Konarske: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Mike Meyer: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

"That's not good," said Meyer as he saw Konarske's kings. "Nice hand," he added.

The dealer fanned a flop of {3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}, keeping Konarske firmly in front. The turn came {j-Clubs} to bring Meyer two more outs at a double, but he was unable to get there as the river fell {2-Spades} and he was sent to the rail.
