Day 2 has wrapped up of the World Series of Poker Circuit Horseshoe Bossier City Main Event. Play began with 140 hopefuls all eyeing Day 3 but only 11 players would survive. Leading the field is Jeff Gibralter with 1.569 million.
Just behind Gibralter are Jay Diaz (1.118m), Cliff Fisher (1.085m) and Pete Rios (1.047m). Rounding out the field is Abraham Araya, Jim Parker, Jesse Maupin, Mark Burford, Jeff Siler, Seneca Easley and Michael Sanders.
It’s worth noting that Araya, Burford and Sanders all made the final table of the 2012 WSOPC Choctaw Main Event final table together, with Araya taking home the win.
Howard “Tahoe” Andrew, “Captain” Tom Franklin, Charles “Woody” Moore, Caufman Talley, La Sengphet and Bradley Lipsey all earned a cash but fell short of making Day 3.
A long list of accomplished players were sent to rail today, including; Mark Kroon, Allen Kessler, Charles “Woody” Moore, Pej Niyati, Maurice Hawkins, “Captain” Tom Franklin, Kyle Cartwright, David Nicholson, Corey Burbick, Drew Dumanski and John Dolan.
Kroon was the bubble boy and lost all his chips in a tough spot. His elimination came on the second round of round-for-round play. He went to a 
flop with Pete Rios and following a check-raise from Rios, Kroon moved all in. Rios called holding 
and Kroon held 
. The turn cemented Kroon’s fate when it came 
.
The bubble burst with just two minutes in the level before the dinner break. When the field returned from dinner action sped up to a ridiculous amount. Within the first couple hands nine players busted. The field was trimmed from 45 players to just 13 in five levels.
The beginning of the end for the overnight chip leader, Caufman Talley, came when he got into a kings vs. aces preflop showdown. Diaz’s aces held and Talley lost around 400,000. Talley never really recovered from the blow and bowed out in 18th place.
Day 3 will have cards in the air 12 p.m. CST and they will play down to a winner. Follow all the WSOPC action live on Pokernews.com.
