Level 15: 1,500/3,000/400 Ante

There are currently 189 players remaining from the 361 that have returned on Day 2 of the WPT Championship event at the Seminole Hard Rock Lucky Hearts Poker Open. The money bubble will burst when 100 players remain so we still have a ways to go to that benchmark in the tournament.

Debra Dorcy was looking at a big problem right as her table was breaking. She had the majority of her chips in the middle with after the flop against her opponent’s dominant .

The dealer wasted no time popping the tough beat on the turn to quickly change their fates. Her opponent was sent out while Dorcy moved up near 300,000.

It hasn’t been a kind level for several past champions from around the world.

Joe Kuether has 15 tournaments wins in four different countries including two WSOP Circuit rings. David Diaz is the proud owner of a WSOP bracelet and $1.4 million in career earnings. Ryan Van Sanford has a WSOP-C ring, WPT title, and one Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open win to his credit. Jacob Bazeley has nearly $2 million in career earnings along with his WSOP-C ring.

Another thing they all have in common today is that they’ll be on the outside looking in at the rest of the Championship players

Just lost KK to JJ for 200k+ pot down to 23k at 2400 bb in @shrpo @WPT #pray4thenati

$3,500 Championship No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 13: 1,000/2,000/300 Ante

Just 250 players remain in the Championship and tables are breaking fast. One of the favorites in the room has been chopped up, Table 3 with Andy Frankenberger, Brian Hastings, Michael Laake, Allen Kessler, Zo Karim, Eric Afriat, and Paul Beresford.

It was an active, talkative, busy table that also provided Frankenberger with a much needed double before the were sent on the merry ways.
