After two long starting flights of the World Series of Poker Circuit Horseshoe Bossier City Main Event action has wrapped up. A total of 396 players took to the felt, 238 in the first and 158 in the second, and just 130 players are moving on to Day 2. Leading them all is Caufman Talley with an astounding 264,700.
Bringing up the chase pack are Bradley Lipsey, (208,000), Charles “Woody” Moore (188,800), Jay Diaz (144,800), Abraham Araya (137,800), Nick Johnson (136,300) and Richard Holt (134,000). Jason Brewer, Nick Johnson, David Nicholson, Seneca Easley, Corey Burbick, Kyle Cartwright, Mark Kroon, La Sengphet and Maurice Hawkins all return with healthy chip stacks.
John Dolan, Dwyte Pilgrim, TJ Cloutier, Raj Kattamuri, Layne Flack, David Clark, Ben Mintz, Cord Garcia and Rex Clinkscales are just a few of the players that came up empty and will not join the field on Day 2.
Talley is on a heater after winning Event 9 for a little more than $40,000 the night before. Once Talley hit 100,000 midway through Day 1a, he never looked back. Talley got all of an opponent’s chips on a 
board when he held pocket kings to beat his opponent’s pocket jacks.
Nicholson returns to Day 2 with just under 100,000 and is looking to defend the title he won here just over a year ago. In one hand he called an opponent’s all in holding two black tens and his opponent held 
. The board ran 
and that hand launched Nicholson to a six-figure chip count.
Mark Burford was the lucky recipient in one of the biggest hands in the late stages of Day 1b. After a flop of 
three players all moved all in. Burford was ahead holding 
, Keith Lehr held and Mo Kahn held 
. With only five spades remaining in the deck the board completed 
. Burford earned a full triple up and Lehr was eliminated.
Day 2 will have cards in the air promptly at 12 p.m. CST with the goal of playing down to final table. Follow all the WSOPC action live on Pokernews.com.
