Both Asher Conniff and David Daneshgar already have one WSOP bracelet, but come into the day in a strong position to secure a place in the final day tomorrow, and edge one step closer to another. They sit comfortably in the top ten just below Liran Betito, Bing Li and Pedro Fernandez who bagged the top three stacks.
Eyes will be on the remaining nine 25K Fantasy players who return to Day 2: Nicholas Palma, Georgios Sotiropoulos, Dong Chen, David Coleman, Felipe Ramos, Renji Mao, Jake Schwartz, Kristen Foxen and Joe Cada. The money bubble is likely to burst early in the day and these players will be looking to score points with at least a minimum cash.
Play resumes at 1 p.m. local time today at Level 16 with 3,000/6,000 blinds and 6,000 big bind ante. It is expected that 10 one-hour levels will be played, taking 15-minute breaks every two levels, with the dinner break taking place at the end of Level 23 (at approximately 7.30 p.m.).
