Card Player Poker Tour Bicycle Casino -- 36 Remain After Day 2Field Quickly Whittled From 91 Players Down To The Money |
|
Day 2 was a quick one in the Card Player Poker Tour Bicycle Casino $1,100 no-limit hold’em main event. A total of 91 surviving players from the three starting days came together with the initial goal of making it into the money and stopping at 36 players. Reaching that number took far less time than was expected.
After just over six hours of play, the bubble burst at 37 and then shortly after Stephanie Donahue was the first player eliminated in the money, taking home $2,150 for her 37th place finish. The Bike’s floor staff asked the players if they would all agree to continue past the posted goal of 36, but there was an objection and play was halted for the day.
The chip leader heading into day 3 is Richard Munro with 970,000. Other big stacks include Kevin Lee (889,000), Lyle Wong (702,500) and Live At The Bike commentator and last female player remaining Nichoel Jurgens(461,500).
The biggest name left in the field is Matt Salsberg, who just this week secured the title of World Poker Tour Player of the Year. Salsberg got off to a quick start at the beginning of the day, winning two sizable pots with ace-king to take the early chip lead, but cooled off a bit as the day went on, ultimately ending the day in tenth chip position with 374,000. Card Player TV caught up with Salsberg after play ended for a quick video interview:
Play will resume on day 3 at 1:00 PM and will continue until the final table is set. Here is a look at the chip counts heading into day 3:
