Day 2 of Event #19: Millionaire Maker - $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Gets Underway at 12 noon
Welcome to Day 2 of Event #19; Millionaire Maker - $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em at the 2019 World Series of Poker. The two starting flights combined attracted 8,809 competitors with the hope of banking a seven-figure score. However, only 2,268 of them got a step closer to that prize and will be returning to the Pavilion room today for Day 2 to continue to battle it out.
Some of the notables that will come into Day 2 with a decent stack include former WSOP bracelet winners Calvin Anderson (563,600), Keith Lehr (383,000), Kevin Macphee (366,500), and JC Tran (296,300). They will all be looking to add more gold to their collection.
Cards will be in the air at noon local time, with play resuming at Level 12, where blinds are at 1,000/2,000 with a 2,000-chip ante. The plan for Day 2 is to play 10 levels of 60 minutes each with 15-minute breaks every two levels and a one-hour dinner break after six levels, at approximately 6:30 p.m.
