Ryan Leng is the Chip Leader Heading into Day 3 of the Monster Stack
Day 2 of Event #30: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Monster Stack has come to an end after ten levels of play. The day began with 1,220 players, and just 148 remain with three more days scheduled in this ever-popular event. First place will be paying out a cool $610,347 and the elusive gold WSOP bracelet.
The chip lead heading into Day 3 belongs to Ryan Leng with a massive 4,070,000 in chips, worth 136 big blinds going into Day 3. Blinds will begin at 15,000/30,000 with a 30,000 ante on Monday, October 17, at 10 a.m.
Well-known poker pro Jason Wheeler, with $4 million in live earnings, follows in the chip counts with 3,805,000. Other notables advancing to Day 3 include Upeshka De Silva with 2,130,000, Rafael Reis with 3,150,000, and Poker Hall of Famer JJ Liu with 1,245,000.
Not only was today an important day to build a stack, but also the money bubble was guaranteed to burst today. Towards the end of the 17th level of the day, it was Mark Alves and known poker pro Chris Moorman that busted on the bubble at the same time.
At that point, all of the remaining players were guaranteed a min-cash worth $2,404 and, as expected, a ton of notables made it through to the money but were unable to go deep. They included Lily Kiletto (188th -$3,924), Joe Serock (430th - $2,629), Justin Arnwine (347th - $3,005).
