Welcome Back to Day 2 of Event #43: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em SHOOTOUT
Day 2 of Event #43: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em SHOOTOUT at the World Series of Poker starts today at 12 noon local time. Just 120 out of 1,025 players who started yesterday will return to play round 2. Everyone is guaranteed a minimum of $4,837, but they will all be aiming for that WSOP gold bracelet and $257,764 for first place.
Today looks like it will be a day filled with loads of action and a number of notables in the field. As the team looks at the seat draw, one table really jumps out — Table 718 — where Kevin Eyster, John Phan, Kevin MacPhee, Alex Rocha, Jonathan Tamayo and Kenny Hallaert will be seated. This is a table where the players have collected five bracelets and six WSOP Circuit rings in total, but only one of them can make it through to tomorrow's finale.
There are still many other big names in the field as well, including Chris Moorman, Jonathan Little, Josh Weiss, Daniel Strelitz, Steve Foutty, Vojtech Ruzicka, Russell Thomas, Tom Middleton, Carlos Mortensen and Taylor Paur.
Keep following the live updates here on PokerNews to find out which 12 players will make it to Day 3.
