Day 2 of Edgewater Casino’s $1500 Main Event in Vancouver begins on Saturday, with those players remaining licking their lips and setting sights on the $90,558 top prize.
After a Super Satellite on Wednesday that drew more than 150 runners and awarded 15 players seats into the $1500 $150 Main Event, a total of 110 entries took their seats on Thursday for Day 1a.
Then on Friday, Day 1b seen 124 more entries, with players sitting down to take a shot, or try again, for their share of an approximately $340,000 WCPC No Limit Hold’em Championship prize-pool; an impressive 30% larger than the events 2010 depute.
More than a few well known names got into the mix: Brad “Yukon” Booth, Chris “maxxscam” Back, Scott “BigRiskky” Clements, Matthew “Jarfish” Jarvis, Jason “JAKoon1985” Koon and Terrance “Unassigned” Chan are just a few of the individual players with combined tournament career earnings of $1,000,000-$5,000,000; in some cases owning even higher totals, especially with high stakes cash games added.
If pieces of the puzzle found in the “twitterverse” fit together the way we see them, ‘Campbell’ Lu is also one of the tough opponents advancing; AKA none other than “Big_Nemo”, perhaps the most consistent Canadian online poker players in the major series held over 2010-2011.
Day 2 will resume play Saturday at noon, beginning at Level 9 and blinds at 600/1200. Those making the final table will return to play to completion on Sunday’s Day 3.
