Welcome to Day 2 of Event #43: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em
Day 2 of Event #43: $2,500 Limit Hold'em is set to kick off at 12 noon local time today with 297 players descending upon the Amazon room at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino with the ambition of building a stack for Day 3 and improving their shot at the coveted gold bracelet.
Ashwin Sarin will begin as the chip leader after he bagged 166,200 overnight, and Stephen Foutty is right on his heels with 156,300.
WSOP bracelet winner David Peters is near the top of the chip counts with 140,500. Peters stayed in cruise control for much of Day 1 after building a big stack early,
Chris Hunichen (131,500), Jake Schwartz (124,500), Phong "Turbo" Nguyen (112,500) and Chino Rheem (105,000) are among the big stacks that will be returning.
Also in action today are bracelet winners David "Bakes" Baker (90,000), Chance Kornuth (88,000), Kristen Bicknell (61,300), and Taylor Paur (64,600).
We are inching closer to the money bubble as the final 188 players will be guaranteed at least $3,743 for their efforts.
Level 11 will get underway with 600/1,200 blinds and 200 ante. Ten 60-minute levels will be played with 15-minute breaks coming after every two levels, and a 60-minute dinner break at the end of the day's sixth level.
