Day Two Awaits Us

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:
