Following 14 hours of poker action, Day 2 of the World Series of Poker Circuit Horseshoe Bossier City Main Event is set to be underway with 130 returning players all eyeing one of the final nine seats. Leading them all is Caufman Talley (264,700) and he holds a near 60,000 chip lead over second place Bradley Lipsey (208,000).

A stacked field returns multiple WSOPC ring winners and notables, including; Charles Moore, Abraham Araya, Andy Philachck, David Nicholson, Corey Burbick, Seneca Easley, Kyle Cartwright, Mark Kroon, La Sengphet, Maurice Hawkins, Drew Dumanski and Allen Kessler.

Talley is looking to for back-to-back wins after winning Event #9 a couple days ago. Cartwright is looking to become the all-time WSOPC ring leader, holding five currently, and looking for back-to-back WSOPC Main Event rings - he won the IP Biloxi stop just a few weeks ago.

Nicholson is looking to defend his Main Event title that he won here just over a year ago. On his second bullet he maintained an average stack until the end of the night when he went on a heater, peaking at 140,000.

Today's schedule calls for 13 levels of play which should bring the field very close to the final table, if not past it. Cards will be in the air promptly at 12 p.m. CST and follow all the WSOPC action live on Pokernews.com.

John Dolan has a long day ahead of him.

John Dolan fired one bullet yesterday and elected to bypass Day 1b and bought in this morning. In just the first couple hands he was in a blind vs blind situation where he raised from the big blind and the small blind shoved. Dolan called and the hands were tabled.

Dolan: {J-Spades} {10-Spades}
Opponent: {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}

The board ran {2-Spades} {K-Hearts} {8-Spades} {9-Hearts} {10-Hearts} and Dolan has just 1,300 left from his 20,000 stack.

Easley Hits a Flop

Seneca Easley opened for 2,800 in late position and his opponent on the button called. The blinds released and the flop came {K-} {4-} {7-}. Easley led out for 4,500, his opponent moved all in for around 25,000 and Easley called.

Easley: {K-} {4-}
Opponent: {K-} {Q-}

The turn and river were bricks and Easley earned the knockout.

A few tables over we saw Drew Dumanski gather his things, make his goodbyes and exited the tournament area.

"No Shame in Folding"

Level 14 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We caught Mark Kroon on a flop against two other opponents. The board was {5-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}, Kroon bet 7,700, one opponent folded and the other called. The turn came {3-Clubs}, Kroon checked, his opponent bet 12,000 and Kroon check-raised to 25,000.

His opponent took some time before tossing in a call and the river came {9-Diamonds}. Kroon moved all in and his opponent went deep into the tank.

"There's no shame in folding sir," Kroon said. "Do you have a big pair?"

His opponent continued to tank and Kroon kept prodding him to fold. Finally his opponent folded and Kroon showed {10-} {3-} for a full house.
