Alex Miller Leads Final Three; Cards in the Air for Day 2
It's shuffle up and deal time on Day 2 of Event #8, a $365 no-limit hold'em tournament. Just three players remain from 95 starting and Alex Miller has a stranglehold on the finale with 639,000 of the 950,000 chips in play -- almost 70 percent.
Beginning the day second in chips is ring winner and Event #4 runner up, Joseph Patalano. While a victory would put Patalano's name atop the Casino Championship leaderboard through eight events, current leader Cody Pack would edge him out via the money-earned tie breaker.
The start-of-Day-2 shortstack belongs to Jim Choquette.
Three-handed chip counts:
Alex Miller - 639,000 (63 bb)
Joseph Patalano - 196,000 (19 bb)
Jim Choquette - 115,000 (11 bb)
Cards are in the air for Day 2 now with 11 minutes left in the 5,000/10,000 with a 1,000 ante level. All three players have locked up $3,763 while the tournament's champion earns $8,551 and a Circuit gold ring.
We will touch base with you again when we have a winner.
