Another pair of players that’ll return for Day 2 are good friends Rob Wazwaz (266,000) and Rich Alsup (104,000), who both also happen to be World Series of Poker (WSOP) gold bracelet winners and Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) Hall of Famers. Both hail from Minnesota and took the two-hour flight, Wazwaz for the first time and Alsup cited it as one of his favorite places to play.
For Reardon, he got a lot of his chips in Level 8 (600/1,200/1,200) when, according to live updates from the tournament, he opened for 2,500 from middle position and Howard Feingold three-bet all in for 14,500 from the small blind. Charles L.B. called from the big, Reardon came along, and the flop fell 3♦8♦7♥.
L.B. bet 6,000, Reardon called, and the 10♦hit the turn. The former bet again, this time 15,000, and Reardon called to see the 9♠river. L.B. moved all in and Reardon quickly called with the K♦Q♦for a flush, which was good as L.B. held the A♦Q♥bluff and Feingold the 7♠7♣for a set.
Other players to fall on Day 1b were Vitalijs Zavorotnijs, Stuart Taylor, Erik Lemarquand, and former poker reporter Tyler Warken, who PokerNewsprofiled earlier in the day here.
