Event 2: Final Two Back to Battle for $86K and a Ring

$365 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
$300,000 Guaranteed
 | Structure | Payouts
Level 36: 150,000/300,000 with a 50,000 ante
Players Remaining: 2 of 1,766

The clock strikes 3pm and the decisive day of play in opening weekend’s $365 buy-in, $300,000 guarantee is (almost) underway. The tournament (which easily surpassed the target with a prize pool excess of $525,000) drew a massive field of more than 1,760 entries and yesterday’s play stretched into the early morning hours before tournament staff wrapped it with only Karthik Ramakrishnan and Alfred Karlsson left.

Karthik Ramakrishnan – 9,930,000 (33 bb)
Alfred Karlsson – 7,740,000 (26 bb)

1st – $86,067 + Gold ring
2nd – $53,505

There’s a slight delay to start, but when it gets underway there will be a little back-and-forth action before we award a gold ring. Keeping in mind the blinds are 150,000/300,000 with a 50,000 ante (this tournament boasted a starting stack of 10,000), the event should move be fast.

Stay tuned!
