Day 2 of HPO Championship Main Event to Get Underway Soon
Within the next 30 minutes play will get underway here at M Resort Spa Casino in Day 2 of the HPO Championship Main Event. Yesterday a record 692 entries took their shot and by the time the evening ended only 233 players had survived. It was Tommie Janssen leading the way with 287,100 in chips and he was followed closely by the stacks of Ronald Carroccio (257,100), Julio De la Rosa (242,300), Jason Smith (233,400), Tripp Kirk (214,800), Ryan Tepen (198,400), David Aldridge (198,000), David Martirosyan (194,900), Toby Matthews (193,000) and Andy Spears (183,400).
Others still in the running for the 351,097 first-place prize include David Paredes (147,600), Ravi Raghavan (133,500), Ryan D'Angelo (125,100), Justin Pechie (122,000), Simon Deadman (122,000), Lee Childs (104,000), Mike Sowers (102,100), Niall Farrell (101,400), Greg Ostrander (77,400), Liv Boeree (75,000), Ami Barer (72,000), Calvin Anderson (71,200), Justin Young (65,700), Jesse Sylvia (65,200), Michael Tureniec (51,200), Jordan Morgan (44,800), Andrew Lichtenberger (43,400), Jonathan Little (33,700), and Darya Hulyk (30,100).
Only 63 will make the money so there is still plenty of time for short stacks to maneuver their way up the leader board and for big stacks to find themselves disappointed. Play will get underway at noon local time and PokerNews will be there to bring you all the coverage from start to finish. Tune in to see who moves forward to Day 3, who makes the money, and who comes up empty handed.

Level 12
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Ryan Tepen, the runner-up to Ana Marquez in last year's HPO Championship Event, came into the day with one of the larger stacks in the room but in the blink of an eye he's gone. The beauty... and agony... of no-limit hold'em.
Unreal, but it makes sense this summer. In 20 minutes I went from triple average to out. 99<qj on t96k5 and jj<kk>99 in weird pre pot. WTF?Follow @RyanTepen
