Third Chance, Second Day
![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Welcome back to Event #51 for Day 2 of the $3,000 Triple Chance No-Limit Hold'em closest-thing-you'll-find-to-a -rebuy event. A field of 965 players started this thing yesterday at noon, and 175 of them will be back today to press on into the money and toward the final table.
David Singer was the runaway chip leader for the last two-thirds of Day 1, and he had almost a 100,000-chip lead as the last few hands of the night were called. If not for Tommy Vedes, Singer would still have his mugshot atop the scoreboard, but the former put on a late charge to steal that spot just as the clock ticked down to zero. Vedes magically found pocket aces on the last two hands of the night, and he used them to tally two knockouts, moving his count up to 237,100 and setting the pace for Day 2. Singer is close behind with 204,100.
We're scheduled for a 2:30 p.m. restart and a look at the table draws hints at some good action today. We've got Gavin Griffin and James Akenhead in the hunt, and Will "The Thrill" Failla, Mike Sowers, and Jonas Kronwitter lurk in the shadows of the big stacks as well.
Our restart has been moved back to the Pavilion today, and there are already signs of life in the empty half of the room. The dealers are in their chairs suiting and double-checking their decks. We should get under way right on time, so don't wander off on us.
We'll be back with the shuffle up and deal in just a bit.
