Mark Dube

Mark Dube started toward the top and now finds himself looking down at the rest of the field. His Day 2 kicked off with just under 300,000 chips, but he’s found a heater at Table 19 currently sitting with 835,000.

Not all have been as fortunate, though. Here’s a look at some of those that have hit the rail.

Mark Dube – 835,000

Phil Hui

Phil Hui was in early position and limped as did the player on his direct left. From there, a short player shoved for his last 15,000. It folded all the way back to Hui who raised. The original limper got out of the way and Hui had the all-in player at risk.

Hui: 5c5d
All-in player: KcTd

Runout: QcJs8d4s4c – The all-in player flopped loads of outs, but Hui held to send him to the rail.

Phil Hui – 210,000

The Day 2 action has been fast and furious with more than 40 players already gone. Among the early bustouts is the defending champion, Kammar Andries. Andries began the restart toward the middle of the counts, but couldn’t get anything going early.

Here’s a look at a few of the eliminations to this point:

Kammar Andries – Eliminated

Brian Altman (right) and Greg Spinder

Ruslan Dykshteyn opened to 9,000 from early position and Greg Spinder called from middle position. It was on start-of-day chip leader Brian Altman — who’d been knocked down and had less chips than Dykshteyn — and he three-bet to 32,000. Dykshteyn found a reluctant fold while Spinder four-bet all-in for about 70,000. Altman called and it was table time.

Altman: KsKc
Spinder: ThTd

Runout: 9s5h4d7d7h

Altman’s kings were best and Spinder was eliminated shy of the money. Dykshteyn made it known he would have flopped a set, and had he been in the hand Altman would have gone from start-of-day chip leader to out within 15 minutes.

Brian Altman – 280,000
Greg Spinder – Eliminated

Main Event chip leader, Brian Altman

Two starting days are in the book and an 805-entry field is down to only 171 remaining in the World Series of Poker Circuit Seminole Casino Coconut Creek Main Event. This $1,700 buy-in event smashed the $1,000,000 guarantee to the tune of a $1,368,500 prize pool. Leading the way heading to Day 2 is Brian Altman, a past champion of Hollywood’s Lucky Hearts Poker Open Championship.

Day 2 Chip Counts | Table Draws | Payouts

Altman’s stack is worth 387,000 and he tops a tough field that includes Ruslan Dykshteyn, Bryce McVay and Mark Dube all in the top 10. Others in the game include Matthew Leecy, David Prociak, Phil Hui, Hyndi Khomutetsky, Jason Young and others.

Only the top 81 players finish in the money meaning the field needs to cut in half and then some. A min-cash earns $3,037 while a seat at the nine-handed final table locks up $23,038. Payouts escalate from there and climax in the form of a $243,916 first prize. In addition, the champion earns a berth in the season-ending Global Casino Championship.

Updates will begin when play resumes at 12pm.
