Zohair Karim Leads; Kelly Looking for Ninth Cash of Series
1,072 players walked through the doors of the Rio yesterday to play in Event #44 $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em. 229 of them remain, but only half of those, 117 to be exact, will make the money. Two players separated themselves from the pack yesterday: Zohair Karim (128,700), and none other then Dan "djk123" Kelly (113,700), who is looking for his ninth cash of the summer, continuing one of the sickest heaters we have seen in recent memory.
These two will be joined by a plethora of other notables, including Jonathan Duhamel (65,700), Jason Mercier (65,100), Joe Cada (58,900), Scott Clements (48,000), and Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi (34,700), amongst many others.
The cards will be in the air again at 1 PM local time, which is just an hour away. We here at PokerNews.com will have all your action as always, ad we will play through the money and a full ten more levels of play. You won't want to miss the action, so don't go anywhere!
