Champion to be Crowned Today in $2,200 High Roller at Harrah's Las Vegas
The second and final day of the $2,200 High Roller at Harrah's Las Vegas is now upon us as 30 players are returning at 2 p.m. local time to play down to the eventual winner, who will claim the first-place cash as well as a shiny new ring.
Registration is still open until the start of play and the event should be adding a few more runners before the cards hit the felt, adding to an already impressive prize pool.
Coming into the final day atop the chip chart is Fred Conforti with 158,500 chip count. Conforti is a Chicago native that looks to add his first WSOPC ring to his resume.
Many familiar faces remain in the field including Bob Slezak (119,000), MMichael Rossitto (112,500), Joey Weissman (98,000), Michael Marder (91,000), Brett Apter (85,500), Asher Conniff (79,500), and Chris Ferguson (77,500).
Day 2 Schedule
Play will restart at level 13 with blinds of 1,000/2,000/2,000. Levels are 40 minutes in length with a 15-minute break coming after every three levels of play and a dinner break depending on the length of play and players' needs.

Joe Walters Captures First Ring in Event #1: $250 No-Limit Hold'em
Level 13
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
While PokerNews is here offering live updates from the Main Event and High Roller, we’d be remiss if we didn’t tell you about the full schedule of side events that have been playing out over the past week at the World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah's Las Vegas.
In Event #1: $250 NLH, 362 runners created a $72,400 prize pool that was paid out to the top 55 players. Among those to cash but fall short of the final table were Steve Foutty (11th - $1,075), James Nortier (13th- $886), Anthony Cirrito (19th - $634), Joseph Young (27th - $505), and Chris Wallace (36th - $436).
In the end, it was Missouri native Joe Walters who collected every chip in play to capture his first ring along with a $14,838 payday.
Walters won his first World Series of Poker Circuit ring for taking down the opening event at the Harrah's Las Vegas World Series of Poker Circuit. Walters also has the honor of calling himself the first Harrah's Las Vegas Circuit ring winner this decade. The last time the WSOP Circuit was at this property was in 2005.
"It feels good," said Walters. "It was my goal at the beginning of the year to earn a ring."
This marks Walters third Circuit cash of the season and fourth of his career. He made a deep run at the new Ameristar St. Charles stop in September in a $600 No-Limit Hold'em event, but fell just short of the final table, finishing in 11th place for $1,292.
