Day 1b Starts Today, HPO Charles Town Title on the Line
Today is Day 1b of the HPO Charles Town Regional Main Event. Today's players will try and join the five players from Day 1a in their quest for an HPO title.
Chris Moneymaker set the mark in Day 1a with 371,800 after he ended the day with a flurry that played a big part in sending Peter Priest to the rail.
A total of 45 entries joined the Day 1a flight and today is expected to be closer to 80. Last night's players ended in the middle of level 13, instead of the scheduled 14 levels because the field was down to 12%.
Last night, after Phil Vera busted he said he would be back today. Vera played well but eventually busted to Mike Melkersen. Vera was left short when he got all in with aces against Dennis Summers. Summers had flopped a set of tens. Hopefully for Vera, he fairs better today and is able to book his ticket to Day 2.
Stay tuned to pokernews.com for updates throughout the day and see who will join the five other players in Day 2.
