Jewell Shines Atop the Field
![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Day 2 began more than 13 hours ago with 162 players still in contention for this Circuit Championship ring. When the day's tenth level expired here long after midnight, we have 16 of them left with a date for tomorrow's final showdown.
Jim Kasputis was the frontrunner as play began today, and he rode his stack well into the money before the run came to an end in 27th place. Joseph Roppolo was tied for second place as the day began, and he managed to run even further than Kasputis. 22nd place was as far as he would take it, however, after a bad level saw him lose one big pot after another after another. It was Kurt Jewell and his pocket queens that dispatched with the rest of Roppolo's stack, the latter's ace-ten unable to catch up.
Speaking of Kurt Jewell, he's your chip leader heading into the final day. The second half of Jewell's day was a straight shot to the top of the score sheet, hardly stumbling at all as he built a massive stack of more than 3 million chips. That'll give him over 100bb coming back tomorrow, and it gives him a lead of more than 600,000 over his nearest rival.
Nothing is decided yet, though, and there's plenty of work to be done. Jewell's day will be a tough one if the pros have anything to say about it, and William Reynolds, Bryan Devonshire, Will Souther, and the rest of the field will be gunning hard for him. Reynolds heads into Day 3 in third place, though he only has about half of the chip leader's stack.
That's about all we have for you from Hammond for now, but we'll be back to finish the story tomorrow. Play recommences at 2:00 p.m. local time, and you can follow along with all of the action as we crown our third WSOPC Main Event winner of the 2010-11 season!
Until then, all that's left is goodnight.

Showdown
Korolchuk: 
Kenworthy:

flop out there for starters. Korolchuk added another few outs on the 
turn, too, looking for any spade, ace, or five to double up.
River: . Most certainly not a spade, ace, or five. Unable to get over the hump, Korolchuk has been sent home in 17th place.

He then picked up on what Jewell was wearing, a blue Kentucky sweatshirt and asked, "Are you really from Kentucky? Wildcats fan?" He then went on to say, "You guys gonna be any good this year after losing all those guys? OK... I'm gonna have to raise you to find out where I'm at."
Souther then put in a four-bet to 345,000. Jewell folded and Souther showed the
