Gary Herstein

We expected a fast pace to start the day and it might have exceeded those expectations. At least 50 players have hit the payout desk over the first part of the restart and tables are breaking fast.

We grabbed a look at Gary Herstein to start the day because he had some work to do. The former Heartland Poker Tour champ came back for Day 2 with a single small blind and looking for a miracle. Herstein got lucky to start his day, sitting in Seat 4 and the button was drawn to Seat 5. That’s where his luck ended when he went out in 368th place but not before hitting a pay jump.
