Welcome back for Day 2 of the Main Event at the World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah's Resort Atlantic City. Yesterday saw 322 players surviving the two Day 1 flights to play today, with just over 600 entries (buy-ins). And of those players it was T.J. Crews who managed to accumulate the most chips during the nine 40-minute levels, ending with a handsome stack of 141,900.
Crews's finish put him just ahead of Brian Nguyen's 138,300 at day's end, with Brian Sonak, Gregory Fishberg, Michiel Ros, Maksim Kvitko, and Tim Faro additionally having ended the day with 100,000-plus chip stacks. And Chris Klodnicki also did well in during the Day 1b session after having fired a bullet and busting earlier, ending the night with 92,900.
Late registration is actually open right up until the first hands are dealt today, so shortly after play begins we'll be able to report final numbers and prize pool information. The total appears as though it will come close to last year's field of 618 for this same event.
Play begins at noon local time. The plan will be to play down to a final table of nine or stop at 2 a.m., whichever comes first. And we'll be here throughout the day as the journey continues to find the next WSOP Circuit Main Event champion.
