WSOP Round-up Day 2
- Filed under: Tournaments
- Date: Jul 13,2008
Just like Day 1 has been split into various ’sub-days’ to help make it easier for all of the 6844 entrants of this grandiose competition, so has day 2. Today we’re going to cover the whole two days in "one". Because, with this year being the largest in history, there is a lot to tell!
The total number of players in Day2A was a staggering 1251. Of that number after approximately 10 hours of play – we had 465 very battered, bruised but victorious individuals. Today saw witness to a large number of professional players taking the fall and amongst those included Scotty Nguyen, Barry Greenstein and Bill Edler.
Top 5 players for today were:
Brian Schaedlich with a staggering 8011,000 chips
Hunter Frey followed in second amassing 397,000 chips
Jeremiah Smith trails with 386,000
All in all 465 have survived to earn their day off and return after tomorrow.
Day 2B saw 2,378 players come into the fray yet again, and only 842 will manage to survive to see Day 3. Today also saw the previous winner – Mr.Jerry Yang fall out of the contest, as well as many bracelet holders. Top 3 players for today were:
Peter Biebel 531,000
Alex Outhred 486,800
Baja Kattamuri 411,100
As you can see no one took a significant lead compared to Day 2A. This just goes to show how fierce the fight is, and how the 2008 WSOP will be the most competitive yet.
Stay tuned and enjoy!
