Yesterday another $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em Tournament started and again it was a big one. 2,108 players showed up for the noon tournament and battled it out throughout eleven levels. After the dust had settled 218 players remained with former November Niner Antoine Saout in the lead. It's very likely that Saout will make the money, but the tournament is not there yet. With 216 players remaining all will be guaranteed $1,935. A min cash is good start, but the players will all strive for that first prize of $346,332.
On day two the tournament will not hand that amount of money to anyone. Today the tournament will stop after another ten levels, starting with level twelve (600/1,200 with a 200 ante) making it likely there'll be more than nine players still left in the tournament. Antoine Saout may be in the best position right now to make the final table, but he has some strong competition to deal with. Mike Pickett brings 108,500 to the table today and John Racener (74,600), bracelet winner Michael Gathy (70,500), Eddy Sabat (53,000) and many other familiar faces are also still in.
Check back here at 1 p.m. as the World Series of Poker kicks off another day two. In the mean time, check out the 17th of June update video we made:

Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
In one of the first hands of the day the well known online player Josh Field has handed over his last chips to another player at the table.
A player in early position made it 3,000 to go after which the cutoff bumped it up to 6,000. Acting out of the small blind, Josh Field committed his 7,500 and the big blind folded. The initial-raiser wasn't willing to put in another 4,500 but the 3-better did. Field tabled 
and was in a race situation against the 
from the cut off. The flop (
) and turn (
) were reasonably safe for Field but the 
on the river meant that this hand was the last hand of his tournament.

Yesterday they played till they reached the money and thus there were a lot of shortstacked players in the field today. The first couple of minutes you could hear "Pay Out Table 441!", "Pay Out Table 433!" and so on. A lot of players have busted their short stacks already, that's for sure. The Pay Out tab will be updated as soon as we get the information from the World Series of Poker organization.

Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Randy "nanonoko" Lew opened under-the-gun to 2,400 and had more than enough action behind him. The player in the hijack position pushed his stack forward (about 15,000) and the cut off committed his stack as well (7,800). The button and both blinds folded and the decision was back on Lew. He thought about it for a couple of minutes and eventually decided to call.

Lew had the worse of it but that would soon change: 
on the flop. After the 
on the turn and 
on the river the dealer shouted "Pay outs table 427!" and two players got up from the table.
Lew is foremost an online player, a thing we could tell by the speed of his stacking abilities. To stack his newly acquired chips in twenties took him as long as his pre flop decision.

Austin Buchanan started the day as one of the short stacks. He didn't seem to get anything going today. The table folded to him in the small blind and with 
he pushed all in. His opponent in the big blind instantly said "All In" having Buchanan covered. Buchanan's opponent held 
Buchanan would need some help to stay alive. The window card was the which delighted Buchanan greatly. However the rest of the flop came 
to give top pair to Buchanan's opponent. The turn and river 
were no help and Buchanan would have to settle with a min-cash.

: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Well known Dutch player Olaf de Zeeuw is off to a good start here on day two. He had already opened six or seven times, he told us, and then finally had a real hand and he got some action. He opened with ace-king and saw the player on the button 3-bet to 5,000. De Zeeuw made it 15,000 and called as his opponent shoved for 35,000.
De Zeeuw was up against pocket nines and directly hit on the flop. A king popped up and the remaining nines stayed in the deck. De Zeeuw is now one of the bigger stacks in the room now.
