Welcome to Day 2 of the 2020 WSOP Circuit Horseshoe Hammond Main Event

BrandonTemple

Day 2 of the 2020 WSOP Circuit Horseshoe Hammond $1,700 Main Event is set to kick off at 11 a.m. local time, with 184 of the 989 entrants coming back to the Horseshoe Hammond Convention Center. Today's Day 2 will see the field play ten one-hour levels as the field is trimmed down before the final day on Monday, March 2nd.

Giedruis Bagdonas returns today as an overwhelming chip leader, sitting with 814,500. Bagdonas's staggering stack sits over 300,000 chips above his next competitor, Day 1a chip leader David Jackson and his 511,500 chip stack. Rounding out the top 5 stacks are William Webb (429,500), Ruslan Sladkov (402,500) and Alex Yen (382,500).

12-time WSOP Circuit ring winner Josh Reichard (280,000) headlines a talented group of notables chasing Bagdonas, and WSOP Bracelet winners Chad Holloway (305,500), Alex Ziskin (188,500), and Scott Bohlman (59,000) also remain in contention. Mark Fink (262,500), Patrick Steele (196,000) and defending champ Ravi Raghavan (180,500) are also lurking.

A prize pool of $1,498,335 was built up by the 989 entrants, surpassing the $1 million guarantee. 149 players will earn a piece of the prize pool, with a min-cash worth $2,547. Making it to the final nine guarantees a $26,010 payday, while the eventual champion will walk home with $258,078, a coveted WSOP Circuit ring, and a seat in the 2020 WSOPC Global Championship.

"I'm in bad shape," Kessler correctly noted.

The flop gave both players open-enders, and while the turn bricked off, the hit the river.
