Some other big stacks to start the day include Luis Zedan (374,000), Joseph Sabe (330,000), and Szymon Wysocki (306,500) who are the only three other players above the 300,000 mark. Jon Turner will also be coming in with a healthy stack of 258,000. Turner has 72 WSOP cashes for a total of over 1.3 million in earnings and will be looking to add another here.
Many bracelet winners made the second day of this event and some of that list consist of Canadian Calen Mcneil (207,500), JC Tran (200,500), David Halpern (194,000), Daniel Zack (135,500), 888poker ambassador Chris Moorman (115,000), Philip Long (110,000), and Phil Laak (108,000).
The remaining players will be starting today just 80 shy of the money and the bubble will be sure to come quickly after seeing yesterdays non-stop potting affair. Those lucky enough to outlast the bubble will be pulling in a min-cash of $1,502 and that will boost all the way up to $236,673 for the eventual winner.
Day 2 will have a 2 p.m. restart and will resume with the blinds at 1,000/2,000. The day will play a total of ten 60-minute levels before players bag and tag for the night. There will be a break after every two hours of play and a 60-minute dinner break after the 16th level.
