PNW_WSOP_15 Summer Series Report for June 14

WSOP Event #28 $1.5K NLHE Monster Stack Day 2

The second day of the Monster Stack came to an end with 272 players remaining from the 7,192 who started. 20 of the players remaining in the field are from the Pacific Northwest, including two of the top six. Wayne Keller of Washington is second in chips with more than 1.25M; Yao Sun of British Columbia is in sixth place to start Day 3, with just over 1.1M.

Ninety of the 132 players making Day 2 didn’t get into the money. Among those who did were BC’s Trevor Hughes, who managed to survive from just 6,100—last place on the PNW chip count (2,036th overall) after Day 1 and less than half the starting stack—to get into the money at 703rd. Busting not long after him was Terrance Kalaf, who started Day 2 24th in chips (first among PNW players) but exited in 694th.

Michael Wimberly (WA) and Jaqueline Burkhart (OR) were at the top of the chip counts early on; both are still well-placed for Day 3. And friend of the blog Robert Brewer is in the money in his first WSOP event of the season.
