Let the Day 2 Massacre in the Bayou Begin!
Welcome back to the 2011/2012 World Series of Poker Circuit $1,600 Harrah’s New Orleans Main Event. Yesterday, 630 players took their shot at WSOP Circuit glory. Many had their eyes set on the top prize, but plenty of others were more concerned with earning last-chance points toward this year’s $1-million National Championship.
Today, 337 players will return for Day 2 action. Among them are some familiar names in Mark “Pegasus” Smith, Kenny Milam, “Cowboy” John Land, John Dolan, Darvin Moon, Aaron Massey, Matthew Chang, Tripp Kirk, Sam Barnhart, Kurt Jewell, Ryan Tepen and Matthew Hankins, just to name a few.
Unfortunately, today will be marred with eliminations as the players look to make the money. We’re not sure of the plan quite yet, but we overheard a tournament officials say they hope to play down to 54 players. Needless to say, a lot of players are going to leave disappointed.
Some favorites who are primed for a deep run are the Day 1a chip leader, Jay “queen10off” Kaplan, and Day 1b leader, Jonathan Job. Johnny Landreth, Bobby Toye, Shane Matthews and Terry Kim join them toward the top of the chip counts.
Here’s a look at some of the more notable stacks among the337 players returning for Day 2:

| Conrad Monica | 111,800 |
