Day 2 Action
With 167 hopefuls making it to Day 2 and 119 paid spots, the first order of business was bursting the money bubble. Some notables to make it to Day 2 but fall short of the money include Carol Fuchs, Brian Yoon, Mike Matusow, and Daniel Negreanu. The bubble burst just as the floor asked the dealer to stop dealing, and before the start of hand-for-hand play. David Bach and Evan Haskell were eliminated at separate tables, sharing the title of bubble boy and splitting the $3,007 min-cash.
Following the bursting of the money bubble the eliminations picked up at an even faster pace, with noteworthy players such as Chad Eveslage (93rd - $3,007), Barry Greenstein (72nd - $3,158), Phil Hui (62nd - $3,325) and Barny Boatman (59th - $3,325) making their exits shortly after the bubble had burst.
Two-time bracelet winner Ari Engel got off to a hot start, nearly tripling the stack he started with by the first break of the day. Engel was able to ride that momentum well into the money but had to settle for 31st place after running his two pair into Scott Abram’s set of kings in a hand of Pot-Limit Omaha. Engel took home $5,185 for his finish, while Matt Glantz (45th - $4,535), David Funkhouser (34th - $5,285), Jon Turner (25th - $6,308) and Brian Hastings (21st, $7,707) also hitting the rail around this time.
Five-time bracelet winner Brad Ruben was among the final eliminations of the night. His quest for a sixth bracelet ended in a hand of Omaha Hi-Lo after his aces were cracked by Joseph Ricardo’s rivered straight.
The action resumes tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. local time and will play down to a winner. Stay tuned to PokerNews for all the action. From the moment cards are in the air until a winner is crowned at the end of the night.
