Kolla Leads to Start Day 2 of Event #60
The last $1,500 no-limit hold'em event of the 2014 WSOP resumes today with 293 of the original field of 2,563 still in contention.
Chris Kolla holds the lead at the moment with 130,300 chips but the chasing pack is close behind. Yaron Zeev Malki lies second currently with 126,000 and Ty Reiman sits third with 125,400. There is a long way to go, however, with another ten one-hour levels of play scheduled today and a final day tomorrow.
The total prize pool for this event is $3,460,050 and the winner is set to receive $614,248. One of the early orders of business today will be the bursting of the money bubble. With 270 places being paid, that means 23 players will be out of the tournament empty-handed.
Some of the notables returning for Day 2 that we’ll be keeping an eye on include David Peters (83,300), Shannon Shorr (76,400), Scott Baumstein (64,300), Layne Flack (58,500), and Barny Boatman (42,000).
