Day 2 of the World Series of Poker Circuit Playground Main Event begins at 11 a.m. with 149 players left in Level 18. They are all aiming for the $350,000 grand prize that awaits the winner.
There are massive gaps at the front of the chip counts as Hussein Hassan starts the day as the big chip leader with 2,037,000 which is nearly 500,000 more than the second place stack of Kevin MacDonald with 1,579,000 who holds a significant lead over the third place stack in his own right. These two will begin the day on a high perch looking down at the rest of the field.
The leaders of the rest of the pack are David Quang (1,105,000), Tommy Nguyen (1,029,000) and Samuel Roussey-Majeau (987,000).
