Welcome to Day 2 of MSPT $1,600 Venetian Main Event
Today, all the players who managed to bag on Day 1a through 1c will convene and duke it out on the green felt in pursuit of MSPT glory.
Of the combined 2,011 entries from all three starting days, just 309 players remain. They will all be looking to make a deep run in today’s event, or at the very least make it into the money – which won’t occur until just 207 players remain. A min-cash will be worth $3,725 and should a player survive until Day 3 – they will have a chance to compete for the grand prize of $412,086.
The chip leaders going into Day 2 include overall chip leader Peter Braglia (846,000), Eric Baldwin (645,500), and Osmin Dardon (618,000).
Other notables still in contention include Joseph Cheong, Faraz Jaka, Ralph Perry, Andrew Moreno, and Justin Saliba.
Play is set to begin at 11 a.m. local time and will start at level 16 with 2,500/5,000 blinds and a 5,000 big blind ante. Players are encouraged to come a bit early to unbag their chips before play resumes. Play will continue until fifteen levels have passed or a final table is reached – whichever comes first.
