Welcome to Day 2 of Event 53 Where the Bubble Looms
Welcome to PokerNews's coverage of Event #53 of the 2013 World Series of Poker, the $1,500 No Limit Hold'em event.
Yesterday, 2,816 players packed into the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino and battled it out at the felt for 11 60-minute levels. During that time all but 320 players busted and with 297 of those being paid today, the bubble is well and truly looming.
Leading the 320 Day 1 survivors when play commences at 1 p.m is Frenchman Alban Juen who turned his 4,500 starting stack into a tournament leading 168,300. Juen is a loose-aggressive player who can just as easily show up with compete air as he can with the stone cold nuts. It's a style of play that sees him bust out early or build a big stack that he then uses to pummel his opponents into submission.
Juen finished 59th in last year's WSOP Main Event and recently came fifth in the International Stadiums Poker Tour.
Other big stacks include Valeri Savov (138,100), Erwann Pechaux (128,200), Arden Cho (124,800), Chance Kornuth (120,300) and David Vamplew (98,800).
All 320 players will be packed into the Purple section of the Amazon room where they hope to be around for all 10 60-minute levels. Join the PokerNews Live Reporting team from 1 p.m local time for all the action from Event #53.

When you make a day 2, open your chip bag from the side (not the part on top with the adhesive) - it rips easier. You're welcome. #WSOPFollow @Matthew_Waxman
Eames Adds to Stack Early
Nível 12
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Chase Olsen opened to 2,600 from early position and the action passed around to John Eames who was seated in the cutoff. Eames took a look at his cards and started to riffle some 100 denomination chips. Twenty or so seconds later, Eames three-bet to 7,600.
The other active players folded and the action was back on Olsen.
"How many chips did you start with?" asked Olsen.
"I've about 21,000 behind and that's 7,600."
Olsen processed that information and folded, leaving Eames to pick up an early pot.

: 500/1,000, 100 ante
We joined the action on a 
board, where Heath Mendelsohn had led for 4,100 chips in late position and British pro Sunny Chattha was pondering his options. Chattha called and the dealer burned a card before placing the 
onto the river.
Mendelsohn immediately bet 7,000 and Chattha called, then mucked when he saw Mendelsohn's 
.

Shakerchi Shoves on Juen
Nível 12
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Talal Shakerchi is not a man who is afraid to put his chips into the middle of the felt as Alban Juen has just discovered.
Juen led for 8,000 on the 
board where there was already around 27,000 chips in the middle. Shakerchi then moved all in for a total of 44,700 from late position and Juen smiled, then flicked his cards back to the dealer, leaving Shakerchi to win the pot.
Shakerchi is a highly successful hedge fund manager in London, UK and like many rich businessmen, loves to play poker around the world.
Poker Legend Thor Hansen
Nível 12
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Table 443 Seat 3 is the current home of the poker legend that is Thor Hansen.
Norwegian Hansen is one of the most popular and respected players on the live poker tournament circuit and with almost $2,900,000 in tracked winnings he is also very successful.
Hansen is currently battling cancer, which he was told is terminal, which makes his appearance here in Event #53 all the more special.
