Brummelhuis Leads at Start of MCOP Main Event Day 2
After Day 1A and 1B both played their nine levels, the total entries for the Master Classics of Poker 2018 Main Event sits at 266. Of those 266, just 106 players made their way to Day 2.
Both numbers might still grow, as registration for the event remains open till the start of play today. Players that busted earlier also still have the option to register. Players buying in now receive 30,000 in chips, 25 big blinds.
Play gets back underway at 2 pm local time with blinds of 600 and 1,200, and a big blind ante of 1,200.
Leading the field is 2013 November Niner Michiel Brummelhuis. After topping the 200,000-mark in the last level of the day, he eventually bagged 193,100.
