Ivey, Negreanu, and 13 More Stars Remain in Day 2 of WSOP $100,000 High Roller Bounty
While hunting $25,000 bounties was a big part of Day 1 of Event #2: $100,000 High Roller Bounty No-Limit Hold’em, with a 2022 World Series of Poker bracelet and a huge top prize now within sniffing distance, the dynamic may change a bit on Day 2.
Justin Young (3,565,000) leads 15 survivors from Day 1, but with late registration open until cards are in the air at noon pacific time, a few more bounty and bracelet hunters may join the fray with 15 big blinds.
As expected, the star-studded field brings nothing but notables and high rolling crushers over to Wednesday’s action with the likes of David Peters (3,085,000), Koray Aldemir (2,930,000), Phil Ivey (1,975,000), Erik Seidel (1,645,000), and Daniel Negreanu (1,235,000) just to name a few still in the mix.
