Event 2D $600 NLH: Cards in the Air

The fourth and final flight of Event 2 of the Foxwoods Poker World Series of Poker Circuit is just getting underway here in the upstairs tournament area. We have already seen a total of 875 through the first three Event 2 flights and there is already more than $450,000 in the prize pool. 

There are a total of 171 Day 1A-C players already moving on to Day 2 and we are expecting a massive turnout here on Day 1D.

This event is the $600 NLH (Re-Entry) WSOPC ring event with a $500,000 guarantee. Players will start with 20,000 in non-value tournament chips and tournament registration and re-entry will remain open until the start of level 9.

Forfeiting of your stack to re-enter will be allowed during the level 8 break only. This tournament is NOT a best stack forward event. If you bag chips at the end of any day/flight and then play in subsequent day/flight, your previous day/flight chips will automatically be forfeited.

Levels 1-18 will last 30-minutes and levels 19 and up will be 45-minutes.

There will be a 15-minute break after levels 4,8,12 on Day 1 and Day 2 will resume on Sunday August 19 at 11 A.M. Day 2 there will be a 15-minunte break after levels 19,22,28 and 31 and a 60-minute dinner break after level 25 (approx. 6:15 P.M.). 

We will now be picking on all of the live Event 2 Day 1D tournament action and a link to the full structure sheet is provided below.

The Day 1B Event 2 is thinning fast and we are down to just 100 players. They are now on a 15-minute break and plenty of big stacks are starting to emerge. The two biggest stacks in the field just happen to be seated side by side at Table 12.

Mike Tokatlyan

Mark Scacewater and Mike Tokatlyan are both playing nearly identical stacks of about 215,000. We will surely keep an eye on the table as there's plenty of potential for a monster pot if these two massive stacks elect to clash.
