Guns Blazing; Time to Shootout Here in Event #24
Welcome back to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino and the 2011 World Series of Poker for Day 2 of the Event #24: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout!
387 players took to the felt yesterday, and although the field consisted of some of the best players located currently in Las Vegas, only 40 of them managed to survive for a day two berth while simultaneously receiving a guaranteed $13,368 payday.
However it is a chance to make an elusive WSOP final table that will be the goal of the remaining players, and with the likes of Erik Seidel, Gavin Smith, Tommy Vedes, Dan Smith, Jordan "Jymaster11" Young, Justin Bonomo, Tom Marchese and recent bracelet winner Sean Getzwiller, as well as the overseas invasion James Akenhead, JP Kelly, James Dempsey, Toby Lewis, Maxim Lykov and Darren Kramer, whoever makes it will guarantee the viewers a great showing.
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will again be on the floor providing extensive live coverage from 2:30 p.m. PDT as we aim to play down to just a final table of ten.
