Day 2d of Event #18: $1,500 Minster Stack has wrapped up. The day started with 2,153 players returning to their seats and ended with only 269 needing to bag up their chips. When the dust had settled at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, it was She Wong (3,800,000) who had the largest stack in the room.
Wong has already cashed twice at the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP). He finished in the money in both the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed and the $1,700 U.S. Circuit Championship events. Now he is nicely poised for another deep run.
At the 2021 WSOP, Wong finished sixth in the $800 Deepstack No-Limit Hold'em, which is the deepest he's progressed in a bracelet-awarding event. With Wong returning to the action on Day 3 with a top 10 stack, there's every chance he beats his previous best.
