Day 2 Started
Day 2 of the World Series of Poker Circuit Main Event here at Harvey's Lake Tahoe is set to start in 30 minutes. Of the 419 players who registered only 162 remain, and the chip leader is Bisuil Hoxhaj (167,700 chips). On His heels is Robert Hancock, who has 135,800 chips.
Hancock was unafraid to mix it up during Day 1a, butting heads with fellow chip leader John Song. In one particular hand, Hancock ran a big bluff with queen-high, and tabled his cards face up after Song mucked on the river.
Joining Hancock atop the ranks are Jeff Rubie, David Clark, Steve Foutty, Tom Masinter, Nick Troendly, and Ryan Olisar. Olisar had a bit of a roller coaster day, but finished strong when he won a 90,000-chip pot with a set of sevens against an overpair.
The cards will be in the air shortly, and once registration is closed, we'll give you the official prize pool and payouts. Be sure to stay tuned for all of your live up-to-the-minute updates straight from the tournament floor!
