WSOP 2010 Main Event – Day 2A

Day 2A of the
2010 WSOP saw 1,260 Day 1 survivors belly up to the poker tables. Each and every one of these guys was hell-bent on advancing, but of course, only a few of the chosen were eventually granted that opportunity.
Having amassed a stack of 344,100 chips, Boulos Estafanos will lead the remaining field into day 3. His margin of advantage over those breathing down his neck is a minimal one though. Randy Dorfman, in second place, has a stack of 337,000 chips. Jesper Hougaard isn’t far behind in 3rd either, and neither is Rodney Sherry in 4th. Nosebleed stakes
online poker maniac Cole South is in 5th and Johnny Chan is within the top 10 too.
Chan had essentially replicated his Day 1 performance on day 2 of the
poker tournament, chipping up over the final stretch to climb close to the top of the provisional chip leader board yet again. All it took Chan to got his stack up over the 200k mark was one hand. On a flop of 4,7d,2d, Chan got an opponent all-in, holding 10h, 7h for a flimsy middle pair. The other guy called him with Jd, 10d, hoping to hit a diamond flush of course. Chan managed to fade all his outs on both the turn and the river though for the win.
Corwin Cole looked to be in great shape at the beginning of the day as he was the one who’d managed to bring the largest stack with him from Day 1. He kept dropping chips through Day 2A though and he eventually slid back into the field. Patrick Antonius and Robert Mizrachi both had good days though and kept chipping up to finish on more than healthy stacks. Sam Farha also made it past the Day 2A hurdle.
Carlos Mortensen, Daniel Alaei and Luca Pagano all bit the dust.
