WPT -- Southern Poker Championship Day 2Grueling Day Leaves 27 in the Money |
|
Day 2 of the World Poker Tour Southern Poker Championship began with one goal in mind, make the money. With only 27 players set to get paid, the returning field of 175 knew they would be in for a long day, but nobody could have anticipated the 16-hour marathon that ensued. Play began at noon and didn't wrap up until just after 4:00 a.m. local time.
Hand of the Day:
The Money Bubble Finally Burst
With hand-for-hand play going strong, Mike Leah raised in late position, and Allen Carter put him all in from the big blind. After a tanking for a bit, Leah made the call and showed A

No matter, because the board ran out J 9
4 10 8, giving Carter the nut straight and leaving everyone but Leah with a tired smile on their face.
