Day 2 Started
It's moving day here at the World Series of Poker Circuit Chester Main Event. We have 158 players returning from the two Day 1 flights and we're sure to pick up another dozen or so players that register today. Leading them all is Aaron Overton with nearly a 50,000 chip lead over his next closest competitor Cory Mascagni.
We won't crown a champion today but most of the players have their eyes set on valuable points for the National Championship. It's coming down to the wire for those chasing points with only one more stop on the schedule.
Overton pulled into the chiplead late in Day 1b and eclipsed everyone else in that flight. The field is stacked with notable players including; Tuan Phan, Kyle Cartwright, Ryan Tepen, Peter Ippolito, Roland Isra, Bryan Devonshire, Joe Hebda, Andy Frankenberger, Dennis Phillips, Tim Finne, "Wild" Bill Phillips, Todd Terry, Ryan Gentry, Vinny Pahuja, Everett Carlton, Lee Childs, Allen Kessler and Bradley Lipsey.
Cards will be in the air promptly at 1 p.m. EST and be sure to follow all the WSOPC action live on PokerNews.com.
