The stage is now set for Day 2 of The Wild $150, which will begin promptly at 7:00pm tonight at Playground Poker Club. The chip leader to start Day 2 is Fadi Haddad who resumes the action with 330,500 chips and is one of just 2 players with over 300K to play with upon the restart.
Interestingly, Fadi has drawn a seat on table 41, where just two seats to his left he will find Leng Khauv, the Day 1a chip leader, in addition to two other players with over 100K in their stacks. The result of this is a table whose chip average to start Day 2 will be almost 40K above the tournament average of 90,000 chips. The potential for fireworks – and for even gaudier stacks to be built – is high!
On the other end of the spectrum, the chip average on table 65 will be just 56,500 to start Day 2, and no player on that table has more than a 100K stack to start with. However there are some very talented players starting on table 65 this evening – this is perhaps an opportunity for Jason Conforti or Pierre Bergeron to accumulate the chips they’ll require to make a deep run. Only time will tell!
A few players have taken to Twitter – here’s a sample:
