Fast action from the kick off in Las Vegas as Day 2a sprung into
life from the very first flop. Even while players had plenty of
play available to them with the average stack containing a lot of
big blinds, it didn’t stop the small blinds feeling pressurised by
some of the huge stacks around them. As a result, the bustouts were
fast and furious, while the rich got even richer.
One player who is on a definite heater is Brian Shaedlich.
Beginning the day a little over 160,000, he bagged around 750,000
at the end of the day to be a massive chip leader on the rest of
the field. He does have a pack of players seeking to close that
gap, including second placed Hunter Frey on 378,000, as well as
David Rheem and Robert Mizrachi in third and fourth respectively.
Another pro who is sat in the top ten is Brandon Adams, who did
enough to see the night out in ninth place.
For those of you who were sweating some of the big name players,
here’s a list of some of the notable casualties from Day 2a.
Jordan Morgan, Ciaran O’Leary, Mickey Wernick, Dario Alioto,
John Hennigan, Ray Romano, Nick Schulman, Billy Baxter, Jesse
Jones, Barry Greenstein, Erick Lindgren, Kathy Liebert, Ted Lawson,
