Event #37: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em
Dia 2 Concluído
A total of 236 players returned for Event #37: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em and just 20 of them bagged chips at the conclusion of play on Day 2. Aaron Massey is at the head of the pack with 1,198,000, and close behind are 2013 WSOP Main Event runner-up Jay Farber with 1,093,000 and Ian Steinman with 1,080,000. Michael Finstein (938,000) and Ryan Goindoo (654,000) rounded out the top five stacks.
Aaron Massey is half of a pair of accomplished poker siblings and each has now made a Day 3 at the 2018 World Series of Poker. His brother, Ralph, made the final table of the $1,500 MILLIONAIRE MAKER and finished in 8th place for his largest career cash. Although Aaron can't notch a career-best payday in this event--he already has a victory worth more than double the top prize here--the two-time WSOP Circuit ring winner is looking for his second WSOP final table and first bracelet.
Several other familiar faces are still in contention for the title and $319,580 top prize, including Stephen Song (623,000), JC Tran (480,000), Eric Baldwin (469,000), Jason Wheeler (430,000) and Ryan Laplante (176,000).
The remainder of the field is scheduled to play down to a winner on Day 3. Cards will be in the air at noon local time and blinds will be 5,000/10,000 with a 1,000-chip ante when play resumes.

Moments later, Kenneth Lowe busted in 23rd place in unknown fashion. Damien Le Goff followed Lowe out the door in 22nd place directly after that. Le Goff was left short after losing with against JC Tran's and lost his final crumbs moments after.
In the last hand of the night, Brandon Hall moved all in for his last 100,000 with and was called by Geoffrey Lavinson who held . Hall was in bad shape to double up and the run out didn't change anything. He got eliminated in 21st place from the tournament and collected $9,513.
The remaining 20 players bagged for the night afterwards.
