Welcome to Day 2 of the 2012/2013 WSOP Circuit Choctaw Durant Main Event
The two starting flights of the World Series of Poker Circuit Choctaw Durant Main Event are in the books, and the record field of 1,140 players—the third largest on WSOP Circuit history, has been whittled down to 163 (64 from Day 1a and 99 from Day 1b). The top 117 players are guaranteed a payday of at least $2,804, and the man best positioned to make the money is WSOP Circuit regular and Day 1a chip leader Drazen Ilich, who bagged up 650,000.
Of course Ilich isn’t the only one with his sights set of capturing a piece of the $1,710,000 prize pool. Granted, 46 players must hit the rail until the money is reached, but players like Poker Hall of Famer T.J. Cloutier (276,500); online icon Mario “Pwnasaurus” Silvestri (154,500); six-time WSOP bracelet winner Layne Flack (136,000); and current WSOP Circuit National Leaderboard leader Rex Clinkscales (107,500) are going to do their best not to be among them.
Likewise, players like the ever-entertaining “Cowboy” John Land (482,000); Day 1b chip leader Jonathan Bakhshian (460,000); and three-time WSOP Circuit ring winner David Nicholson (293,000) are among today’s big stacks and are primed to make a run at the $312,080 first-place prize, not to mention the WSOP Circuit gold ring and a seat in the Southern Comfort 100 Proof National Championship.
Here’s a look at the top ten chip stacks at the start of Day 2:
| Place | Player | Count |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Drazen Ilich | 650,000 |
| 2 | “Cowboy” John Land | 482,000 |
| 3 | Jonathan Bakhshian | 460,000 |
| 4 | Mike Davis | 371,500 |
| 5 | Bobby Layne | 331,000 |
| 6 | Andy Philachack | 325,000 |
| 7 | Andrew Watson | 315,500 |
| 8 | David Nicholson | 293,000 |
| 9 | Hien Nguyen | 290,000 |
| 10 | Brian Jordan | 279,900 |
Day 2 of the Choctaw Durant Main Event will begin at 12:00 p.m. CST, which is about 30 minutes from now. Join the PokerNews Live Reporting Team then as they bring you all the action and eliminations from the WSOP Circuit Choctaw Durant Main Event.

Shuptrine the First to Go
Robert Shuptrine was all in preflop holding 
only to run into the 
of Eugene Caudill. Shuptrine looked extremely disappointed, and he made a hasty exit from the tournament floor after the board ran out an uneventful 
.

Crazy First Hand on Table 1
It's not often you see three big pocket pairs run into each other in the same hand, let alone the first hand of the day, but that's exactly what's happened here on Day 2.
Tim Nimitz opened for 10,000 under the gun and cleared the field all the way around to Brian Jordan in the small blind. Jordan proceeded to three-bet to 55,000, and then suddenly Fred Perez moved all in from the big blind for a little more. Nimitz moved all in over the top and Jordan called.
Jordan: 
Perez:
Nimitz: 
It was a bit of a cooler for Nimitz and Jordan on the very first hand of Day 2. The 
flop kept Perez in the lead for the main pot, while Nimitz was ahead in the side. Neither the 
turn nor river had an impact on the hand and Perez tripled, Nimitz lost a little overall by winning the side, and Jordan lost about a third of his chips.

Gottumukkala Gets Got
After Colt Sanders opened for 9,000 under the gun, action folded around to Srikanth Gottumukkala in the big blind and he moved all in for 31,500 more. Sanders made the call and put his opponent in dire straits.
Gottumukkala: 
Sanders: 
"Jack one time," Gottumukkala pleaded, but it was not meant to be as the board ran out 
and he was sent to the rail.
