WSOP Circuit -- Eastern Regional Championship Day 2There are 27 Players Remaining at the Harrah's in Atlantic City |
|
There were 92 players who returned for day 2 at the $10,000 World Series of Poker Circuit Eastern Regional Championship at the Harrah’s Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey today. After eight levels of poker just the final 27 remained. There were many notable eliminations today, including the exit of Card Player Player of the Year contender Dwyte Pilgrim, John Racener, James Mackey, Amnon Filippi, Shannon Shorr, Brock Parker, Isaac Baron, Will Failla, John Cernuto, Dan Heimiller, and Vanessa Selbst.
Selbst busted in one of the strangest hands of the day. Chris Klodnicki bet 9,000 preflop from the hijack and Selbst reraised to 23,000 from the cutoff. Klodnicki went into the tank for a long time and eventually put in another raise. He moved out close to 130,000, which left him with a meager amount of chips behind. Selbst believed that he had moved all in, announced a call, and flipped over K K.
“What now?” Klodnicki asked, and Selbst replied, “Just play the hand.” The flop was dealt A 10 4 and Klodnicki checked. Selbst moved all in and Klodnicki made the all-in call, committing himself to the pot for 143,200 overall. Klodnicki revealed 8 7.
The turn and river fell 10 and Q, which allowed Klodnicki to double up to 300,000 and take the chip lead. Selbst was crippled with a little more than 10,000 after the hand and she busted a short time later.
There are many big names still in the hunt, including chip leader Chris Bell (434,500), as well as fellow large stacks Eugene Katchalov (386,700), Chris Klodnicki (179,700), and Christian Harder (149,400). You can see the full chip counts and seating chart for day 3 below:
