Welcome to Day 2 of WSOPC Ameristar St. Charles $1,700 Main Event
After two starting flights, it's time for Day 2 of WSOPC Ameristar St. Charles $1,700 Main Event.
A total of 281 entries were logged and 46 of those have punched Day 2 tickets. Just three of those will go home empty-handed, so expect an early bubble here at Ameristar.
Austin McCormick is the player who needs to worry least about that as the Day 1a boss comes in with the biggest stack. He'll be trailed by notables such as Brett Apter, Maurice Hawkins, Jon Lawson, Tim Vance, Michael Hudson and Ravi Raghavan.
Play resumes at noon local time with blinds and antes at 2,000/4,000/4,000. There will be just over 49 minutes left in the level when cards begin to fly. That 49 minutes will be added to the normal 10 levels of play, so a long Day 2 is in order. Stay tuned to PokerNews for all of the live updates as the field is whittled way down.
