Main Event Day 2 Level 15 and Dinner Break

Esther “E Tay” Taylor waiting on Level 15.
Blinds will be $2,000 – $4,000 with $400 ante.

The tension is starting to build in the tournament room. Enough tables have been broken that the players can sense they are getting closer, the railbirds are beginning to gather in force.. The thought of a $650,000 payday is completely within reason. There seem to be more emotional reactions to big wins or losses.

Kevin “Lucko” O’Brien was sitting at a tough table with Ted Forrest, Will “The Thrill” and “JohnnyBax”. He outlasted them all. Cliff “JohnnyBax” Josphey was the last to go when he opened shoved with Q5 and was snap called by KK, he is now free to take his time during dinner. Alex “The Jedi” Nepomnyaschiy is trying to build his stack back up and having issues getting past Captain Tom Franklin. Bill Stradley made a move on Victor Ramdin with absolute air, he was playing the board, and showed down the bluff when his value bet-looking bluff was not called. Esther “E Tay” Taylor is sitting healthy with around $110,000.

The players are heading off on their 75 minute dinner break before coming back for three more levels. Tab announce that there are approximately 275 players left in the Main Event. Average chipstack is around 185,000 with the new blinds at $2,000 – $4,000 with $400 ante.
