Of the 179 participants who passed on the second day of the competition, only 62 players remain today. New chip leader Andy Bloch has 321,000 in chips.
Yesterday started with the lead of Daniel Negreanu, who had the second largest stack. According to the story of the leader of the team of professionals from PokerStars, not only took part in every hand, but he was also paid in full. After he increased his stack to 280,000 in chips, Daniel still lost a couple of pots and was forced to settle for 203,700 at the end of the day. Andy Bloch fared much better. The American built up his stack consistently and managed to finish the second day as the leader with 321,600 in chips.
Brian Townsend (290,100), Erik Seidel (282,300) and John Juanda (252,500) are just behind him. The latter took advantage of Sören Kongsgaards' aggressive play and check-raised on 8-8-2-A-2 in order to present his poker on deuces.
Phil Hellmuth, Scotty Nguyen and Chris Ferguson were forced to say goodbye to the tournament, among others. The winner of the previous tournament in the HORSE discipline Sherkhan Farnoud also took off. In the game against Ivan Demidov, with two jacks in his hands, he checked the flop Q
-9
-5
, and Demidov's bet was answered all-in. With hand A-Q Demidov easily accepted all-in, and two aces on the turn and river made his victory convincing.
