Jessica Vierling Leads Star-Studded Field Into Day 2 of the $1,100 No-Limit Hold'em
Jessica Vierling leads a packed field of talent into Day 2 of the $1,100 No-Limit Hold'em, $500k GTD today, after the German bagged big on Day 1a to be the clubhouse leader after three starting flights.
Vierling, who is the only player to enter Day 2 with over 1,000,000 chips, has found herself drawn alongside some of the other big stacks from the remaining 82-runner field, with 2nd in the chip counts, Peter Dailey, and 4th in chips, Evan Sandberg, also seated alongside the WSOP Circuit ring holder Vierling.
Elsewhere in the field, there are plenty of talented grinders hoping to spin up a stack. Those in the chasing pack include 3-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Jesse Yaginuma, Jeremy Becker (who made headlines at the 2026 PokerGO Cup this week), and Victoria Livschitz, among many others.
The tournament has smashed the $500k GTD, generating a pot of $639,795 which will be all to play for when cards go in the air at 12pm local time on Sunday.
