168 Return for Day 2 of Event #21: $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em

Chip Leader Dave D'Alesandro.
Chip Leader Dave D'Alesandro.

Welcome to Day 2 of Event #21: $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em. Play resumes today with just 168 players left from a field of 2,043 returning and plans to play 10 levels or to a final table of nine.

Most of those returning will be looking far up the leaderboard at Dave D’Alesandro who comes back with 154,400 and a massive chip lead over a field that includes just two other players over the 100,000 mark.

Of course, there are some relatively scary names within striking distance, including online legend Thayer “THAY3R” Rasmussen, World Series of Poker final table participants Zo Karim and Jonathan Neckar, multiple-bracelet winners Erik Seidel and JC Tran, and 2014 WSOP National Championship winner Dominik Nitsche. Also returning to sizable stacks are 2010 WSOP Main Event final table participants Soi Nguyen and Jason Senti and WPT Season XII Player of the Year Mukul Pahuja.

However, with 168 players already in the money and chasing the $335,659 and WSOP gold bracelet up top, it’s still anybody’s ball game.

A clear picture of the real contenders for this $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em crown should emerge as the day goes on and PokerNews will be tableside to capture all the action. Stay tuned for live updates from the floor from the 1 p.m. start to the late-night finish.

Level: 12

Blinds: 600/1,200

Nguyen Over 100K

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Soi Nguyen just got off to a great start to the day. Sitting with the familiar company of fellow 2010 November Niner Jason Senti on his left, Soi started out one of the first hands of the day with button and raised to 2,700.

Senti stepped out of the way in the small blind, but Chris Hunichen fired back from the big blind, three-betting to 8,100 total.

Nguyen called and Hunichen checked the {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop, but after a 6,200-chip bet from Nguyen, Hunichen check-raised, bumping it up to 16,300.

Nguyen responded by putting in a hefty reraise and Hunichen folded before anyone could count it.

"Whatever you have, I can't beat it," said Hunichen.

As a result Nguyen pushed over the 100,000-chip mark.

Harris Binks Perfect Turn

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Jason Koon bet 3,000 on fourth with the board reading {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, and a player under the gun called. Lance Harris made it 9,700 from the button, and Koon called. The under-the-gun player jammed for 33,500, and Harris called. Koon mucked, saying he had aces and tens.

Harris: {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Under the gun: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Harris had turned a flush that also gave the under-the-gun player the nut flush draw with his set and Koon two pair. A red card hit the river, but it was the {2-Diamonds}, and Harris dragged the hefty pot.

Nassif Doubles

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Gabriel Nassif.
Gabriel Nassif.

As the calls for payouts beckon around this side of the Amazon Room with short stacks giving up their chairs all across the floor, Gabriel Nassif managed to find a way to survive the carnage.

Nassif just now got his last 15,200 in good with {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} versus Adam Hsu's {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

Then, after an {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} run out, he doubled up.

Routos Doubles Early

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

A player opened to 2,600 in early position, and James Routos shipped it for 22,800 on the button. After getting the count, the initial raiser made the call.

Early position: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Routos: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The board came {10-Hearts}{q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, giving Routos queens to double up.
