WSOP 2013 – Day 2 of Event #14 in the Books
Posted by: James Carter. - Sat, 2013-06-08 06:00
The second day of the $1.5k NL Holdem event (#14 of the
2013 WSOP) saw 206 players return to its tables. A total of 10 levels went into the day, taking up 10 hours of action. At the end of it all, only 14 players remained as the field failed to play down all the way to the final table. Hiren Patel finished the day with the largest stack, having accumulated 1,510,000 chips.
With the money bubble looming on the horizon, the day started off with hand-by-hand play, until the field whittled down to 198. The official bubble boy of the
poker tournament was Zohar Spivack, who bit the dust at the hands of Mark Wahba, after his A,10o fell to the latter’s Js, 10s.
Spivack’s elimination sped the action up quite a bit and soon the trickle of eliminations turned into a flow. Players who found themselves bounced from the event at this stage were Nick Schulman, Dan Kelly, Andrew Frankenberger and Dominik Nitsche. So great was the attrition among the ranks of the “name” crowd, that by the later stages of the day, there were only two of their representatives left in the running. Erick Lindgren almost made it to the end of the day, but eventually he faded away in 19th place, at the hands of Jonathan Taylor.
Owen Crowe had been the short –stack for much of the night and eventually he too was bounced, by Hiren Patel, in 16th place, picking up a $16.3k prize.
After Crowe, only one more player was eliminated before the day was called and the chips counted.
Jonathan Taylor of the US finished with a nice stack of 1.22 million chips right behind Patel. Chris Hunichen survived the day too.
