Championship: Chance Kornuth Leads Day 2 Return

$3,000,000 Guaranteed | Structure | Payouts

The field is locked into place for the 2021 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship with 1,180 entries over the two starting flights. Now they begin the process of coming together and working their way down to a winner.

But first, they have to survive Day 2.

We have 372 players returning with two-time WSOP bracelet winner Chance Kornuth leading the way. Fellow high roller Sean Perry sits in second place with Tyler Rueger, Jake Daniels, and Jason Obinger rounding out the top five and another high roller, Nick Petrangelo in tenth.

The first order of business will be getting the field into the money. The last 148 players will earn some Championship money and the bubble should get here around the dinner break.

Cards go back in the air at noon and they will play 10 full, 60-minute levels before bagging for Day 3 tomorrow at noon.

Top 10 returning stacks:

  1. Chance Kornuth – 454,500 (182 bb)
  2. Sean Perry – 418,500 (167 bb)
  3. Tyler Rueger – 353,500 (141 bb)
  4. Jake Daniels – 346,500 (139 bb)
  5. Jason Obinger – 337,000 (135 bb)
  6. Ian O’Hara – 336,500 (135 bb)
  7. Luke Brereton – 325,500 (130 bb)
  8. Lanh Pham – 323,000 (129 bb)
  9. Justin Liberto – 315,500 (126 bb)
  10. Nick Petrangelo – 315,000 (126 bb)

Jason Brin

Hyndi Khomutetsky raised from middle position to 4,500, Jason Brin moved all in from the cutoff for 17,500, and Khomutetsky called with 5s5d.

Brin turned over 6s6h, and needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

Jason Brin  –  40,000  (20 bb)
Hyndi Khomutetsky  –  255,000  (128 bb)

The next hand, Brin raised from the hijack to 6,500, Wagner Wysotchanski moved all in from the big blind, and Brin called all in for 40,000 with 9s9d.

Wysotchanski turned over AhQc, and Brin needed his pocket pair to hold to stay alive.

Once again, Brin averted his eyes, and the board came KhKd5d3d3h.

“I can’t look,” said Brin as he won the pot with his pocket nines to double up in chips.

Jason Brin  –  83,000  (42 bb)
Wagner Wysotchanski  –  347,000  (174 bb)
