Eveslage Takes Large Chip Lead Into Day 3

Day 2 of the World Series of Poker Circuit presented by Southern Comfort 100 Proof Horseshoe Southern Indian Main Event has wrapped after a long 13-hour day. Of the 140 players that returned only 21 remain. Leading the charge with a healthy lead is Chad Eveslage after he bagged up 840,000.

Jason Stanford (599,000), John Tate (516,000) and Sean Winter (470,000) form the chase pack behind Evelsage. Charles Furey, Kevin Davis, Ilias Kellikidis and Dan Heimiller are also in contention to make some noise tomorrow.

Kathy Liebert is the short stack after bagging up 89,000. Yussi Azulay, Kenny Nguyen, Tim Chang and Stephen Boker join Liebert at the bottom of the counts.

Rounding out the field are Bryan Dillon, Neil Harding, Aaron Kerns, Joseph Worth, Ki Kim, Drennon Rackley, Jonathan Taylor and Bryan Williams

The day had a rough start after a 30-minute delay due to redraw problems and a train delay – yes, a train delay. The highway that leads to casino was blocked by stopped freight train that caused many of the local players a delay in arriving on time.

Once cards hit the air it was action as usual. Although, most of time the money bubble is reached around the dinner break the field did not reach the money until a full two levels after returning from dinner. Robert Scott was the unfortunate player that was the last to be eliminated without receiving a payout.

Midway through the day Liebert went on a tear for a level and half. She went from a slightly below average stack to one of the leaders after doubling through Sean Winter. Then she picked up pocket aces and got all her chips in on the turn when her opponent held pocket eights.

Cards will be in the air promptly at 1 p.m. EST and we’ll play down to a winner. Follow all the action live on Pokernews.com.
