Day 2 has arrived after three starting flights at RunGood Hard Rock Tulsa, and there will be 74 players in contention for the $45,595 first-place prize, which also features a $10,000 World Series of Poker Seat added on.
First and foremost among them is World Poker Tour champion and High Roller regular Olivier Busquet, who amassed a monstrous stack of 382,500, which will be good for well over 100 big blinds when play resumes at Level 13 (1,500/3,000/500). Busquet is trailed by notables like Mina Greco (129,000), Chris Conrad (126,500), Tripp Kirk (122,000), and Justin Gardenhire (99,500).
Levels have been bumped up to 45 minutes, so the structure will slow down considerably from the 30-minute level of Day 1, and the plan is to play through Level 21 and have a 45-minute dinner break. The money bubble will break when 36 players remain, so stay tuned to the live updates to see how the tournament progresses.
