Welcome to Day 2 of the 2020 World Series of Poker Circuit Potawatomi Main Event!
Day 2 of the 2020 World Series of Poker Circuit Potawatomi $1,700 Main Event kicks off at Noon today, with 82 of the 524 entrants returning to action. Play will resume with 26:15 remaining in Level 16 (2,000/4,000/4,000), and the plan is to complete that level, then play ten more one-hour levels, ending play for the evening at the completion of Level 26.
Igor Hot comes into Day 2 with the chip lead, his 485,000 chips holding a slim lead over fellow Day 1b opponents John Gallaher (459,000) and Craig Trost (458,000). Vincent Torcolese (453,000) and Day 1a chip leader Chris Roth (420,000) round out the top 5.
Richard Bai (280,000), who won this very event in September for $138,317, headlines a talented field of remaining players in the hunt for the Main Event ring, and he'll be joined by another former champ in Michael Hudson (331,000). Other notables returning for Day 2 action include Phil Mader (287,000), Javier Zarco (212,000), Kou Vang (204,000), Aaron Johnson (187,000), Allen Kessler (114,000), and 12-time WSOPC ring winner Josh Reichard (83,000).
The 524 entrants built up a prize pool of $793,860, crushing the $500,000 guarantee. 79 players will walk away with a piece of the prize pool, with a min-cash worth $2,770. Making the official final table of nine guarantees a $14,514 payday, and the eventual champion will walk home with $151,284, along with the WSOPC ring and a seat in the 2020 WSOPC Global Championship.
