In just 15 minutes we’ll witness the beginning of Day 2 of Event 10 in the TonyBet Winter Festival, which is a $500 + $50 NL Hold’em Freeze that got started with Day 1 yesterday and sees 21 players return to play down to the end.
The field going into Day 2 is varied affair. There are some big chip leaders with over 300K each – but then a couple of the most experienced players left in the field will start with small stacks (i.e., Jean-Philippe Piquette and Levi Stevens). There is a married couple still in the event, each of whom has had a lot of success in past tournaments both here and elsewhere. There are also two Siddiquis left in the event. We haven’t established for certain that they are related – but it wouldn’t be a surprise!
There are also a couple of past event winners still alive – in particular, this festival’s all-star Nicolas Aubut and past champion Mike Lafable.
It’s certain to be an active night!
