Day 2 of the WSOPC Baltimore Main Event Kicks Off at Noon
Day 2 of the 2019 World Series of Poker Circuit Baltimore $1,700 Main Event gets underway at noon. Out of a field of 303 entries, only 50 competitors will return to the felt to continue to battle it out.
Leading the way going into Day 2 is Day 1a Chip Leader, Ryan Jones with a stack of 467,000. Jones has won two Circuit Main Event in the previous seasons and will be looking to add a third title to his resume.
Day 1b chip leader Noah Shefrin is closely trailing him with 465,500. Shefrin made the final table of the WSOPC Harrah��s Cherokee Main Event in May 2019. He will try to get closer to victory this time.
Jason Leadingham will start the day in third with 434,000 and Jeremy Meacham rounds up the top four with 402,500 in the bag. These are the only four stacks above the 400,000 mark.
Other notables still in contention include 2017 WSOPC Harrah��s Cherokee Main Event winner Charles Johnson (286,500) as well as bracelet winners Michael Wang (226,500), John Gorsuch (181,000), and Justin Liberto (147,500).
Action will resume at Level 16 which features a 2,000 small blind/ 4,000 big blind with a 4,000 big blind ante. There will be a 15-minute break every two levels and a dinner break after Level 21. The plan is to play down to the final table or until the end of Level 28, whichever comes first.
