Welcome to Day 2 coverage of Event #6: High Roller for One Drop - $111,111 No-Limit Hold'em
A total of 119 entries took part in the action on Day 1 and, after eight one-hour levels, 79 players still remain. Registration remains open until the start of Level 11 (about 4:20 p.m.), so the field size should tick up when all is said and done.
On top of the chip counts entering Day 2 is 2014 Main Event champion Martin Jacobson with 1,677,000. A late surge in the last two levels of Day 1 propelled Jacobson to the top of the counts, while the previous chip leaders had slipped from what had been a peak of about 2.1 million.
Rounding out the top five are Charlie Carrel with 1,624,000, Doug Polk with 1,522,000, Brian Rast with 1,456,000, and Dan Smith with 1,360,000. Big One for One Drop champions Antonio Esfandiari and Dan Colman are both still in with 905,000 and 377,000, respectively. Fresh off his bracelet win in Event 2, Igor Kurganov bagged a solid stack of 650,000, and many other big names remain as well.
Cards will be in the air at 2 p.m. and the plan for the day is to play another eight levels.
