Day 2 of St. Charles Main Event Kicks Off at Noon
Day 2 of the World Series of Poker Circuit $1,700 Main Event St. Charles starts at noon. The two starting flights pulled together a total of 414 entries, which was enough to blast by the half a million guarantee that was set. Just 67 found a bag during the two starting flights and those lucky enough to do so will be returning on Day 2, battling it out for another ten levels of play.
Starting the day with the overall chip lead is Scott Hall who bagged large in Day 1b as he will look to add another deep run this series after finishing ninth in the Choctaw Main Event for $25,672.

Many other familiar faces will be battling it out for a shot at the six-figure top prize and some of which are Mike Shin (304,000), Brett Apter (289,000), Edward Dixon (239,000), Michael Esquivel (205,000), Nate Bandy (205,000), Martin Ryan (144,000), Andros Ioakimides (120,000) and Keven Stammen (75,000).
There will be 67 starting Day 2 with 63 spots grabbing a piece of the prize pool. Starting the day this close to the money might make for some conservative play, but judging by the first two flights the tournament should retain the action-filled play that has been up to this point. A min-cash will be paying $2,532, but all eyes will be on the $130,667 first-place prize that the eventual champion will be taking home, along with a shiny new gold ring.
