Break Numero Dos; Hup Holland Hup
We've reached the second break of the day on Day 1b of the Main Event, and among our leaders is Dutchman Jorn Walthaus.
Walthaus, who opted not to play on Day 1a as did many of his countrymen because they were too busy watching their country's football team escape a nail bitter against Costa Rica in the 2014 FIFA World Cup is sitting on 71,400 chips and eyeing yet another deep run in the Main Event. Last year, he finished 26th for $285,408, while fellow Dutchman Michiel Brummelhuis became the first player from Holland to reach the Main Event final table, ultimately finishing seventh for $1,225,356.
Also among the chip leaders is Slovenia's own Dejan Pustoslemšek, who currently has around 70,000.
During Level 2 we spotted NASCAR driver Jason White in the field. White, driver of the No. 24 Toyota car in the Nationwide Series, is evidently friends with 2013 runner-up Jay Farber, who tweeted that he is constantly texting White for updates.
Among the players to bust in Level 2 were Vladimir Geshkenbein, Kevn Saul, and David "Doc" Sands. Geshkenbein ran into the of an opponent, and the Russian hit the rail.
The players are now on a 20-minute break. Until then, enjoy this video with Sarah Grant and Triana Iglesias:
