Welcome to Day 2 of the record-breaking Seniors Event 2014
![[user38873]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
It was once again another record being set at the World Series Of Poker 2014 and the $1,000 Seniors Event attracted a massive field of 4,425 runners, 19 more than 2013 and more than 4,000 entries for the third year in a row. Until the dinner break, almost two third of the field was sent to the rail and five further levels down, only 486 players would bag and tag chips.
Since the top 468 spots will get paid, we start pretty much straight on the bubble with blinds at 600-1,200 and an ante of 200. The tables in the Amazon orange and purple sections are already prepared and we will be playing a total of ten levels today. Chip leader going into Day 2 is Ronald Bradway with 125,100, he is one of only three players that accumulated six digits thus far.
Other notable names that made it through are Sammy Farha (89,400), Marcia Topp (78,900), Donna Rosenthal (70,400), Simon Trumper (45,400), Barny Boatman (39,100) and Irish legend Mick McCloskey (21,200). The min cash is worth $1,752 but everybody is eying the top prize of $627,462 as well as the coveted golden bracelet and stunning Golden Eagle Trophy.
Join us as of 11am Vegas time in the PokerNews live reporting where we get you all the good and bad beats. The full seat draw for Day 2 can be found on the WSOP website.

Sitting Next to Sammy
Nível 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
There have been a few early bust outs necessitating tables breaking and Simon Trumper has had an early move of tables.
“They break my table and I’m sat next to the best to player in the tournament.” (Expletives removed!).
Sat directly to his left is Sammy Farha
Freeze The Action
Nível 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
The screens still show 471 players left but we just witnessed the elimination of Bo Hu. He pushed all in with 
only to see an opponent turn over . The board ran out 
and that was it for Hu. Seconds later the dealers were asked to freeze the action and stand up once their current hand is completed.
We will now double check how many players are left to ensure the bubble while country music is blasting from the speakers.

Hand for Hand Combat
Nível 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
The tournament has ground to a halt as hand-for-hand play is now underway. With hundreds of seniors struggling to preserve their stacks in order to earn the most coveted cash in an amateur player's poker experience, the tension is high here in the Amazon Room.
A few players with big stacks are taking advantage of the situation, and we've seen quite a few three-bets meant to apply pressure to those who cannot afford to sustain a loss if they hope to make the money.
Two more eliminations are needed to burst the bubble, so stay tuned to see who has their aces cracked or their sets ran down in this crucial spot.
Totzke Chip Correction
Nível 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
There seems to have been a glitch in the overnight chip counts, so just to clarify Mary Totzke ended the day on 15,100 but had a zero added to her stack.
She didn’t lose a huge pot so this is just a correction, apologies for any confusion to friends and family especially.

Three All Ins, No Bustout
Nível 12

on the 
board and the opponent of David Bromberg mucked against the of Bromberg on a 
river.
Still 470 players left. Next hand for hand action please.
