The fourth and final Day 2 of Event #50: $1,500 Millionaire Maker saw only 164 players progress to Day 3. While the WSOP Live app shows Jamhour Qasem (2,830,000) as the Day 2d chip leader, it is players further down the counts that have caught the poker community's attention.
Australia's Josh McCully (1,405,000), a $25K Fantasy Draft pick, already has seven cashes at this year's World Series of Poker (WSOP), including a victory in an online event, which earned him his first bracelet. The talented Aussie now looks set for another deep run in the live arena.
