Chris Hunichen Leads the Way into Day 2
Welcome to PokerNews' Day 2 coverage of Event #24: $5,000 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em. Yesterday's Day 1 drew a field of 541 players and after 10 levels of play, only 129 remain in the quest to capture a coveted World Series of Poker gold bracelet and the $622,998 first-place prize.
Chris Hunichen is the chip leader 177,200, followed by Bryn Kenney with 166,200. Among others to bag big stacks were Freddy Deeb (145,900), Kevin Saul (143,200), Calvin Anderson (133,100), and Greg Merson (132,700).
The plan for the day is to play another 10 levels, which will bring the field well into the money and down to perhaps the final two tables. Play is set to resume at 1 p.m. local time, so be sure to keep it here at PokerNews for live updates on all of the exciting action.
