Day 2 proper will begin in around an hour with Jennifer Tilly, the only female entrant, leading the pack of 53 remaining players with 74,100 chips. In 2nd place is Rob Akery. WSOP Main Event winner Jamie Gold hasn’t made it, nor have top pros Robert Williamson or Ram Vaswani. Other well known players who will be joining us today though are Joe Beevers, sitting 4th in chips with 54,950, Charalambous Xanthos on 36,800. Further down the field but still with average stacks are Barny Boatman, Antonio Esfandiari and Roland de Wolfe.

Benedetto Passantino, Stuart Rutter and Pete Singleton may need to make some early moves, whilst Jani Johansson will return with a single 500 value chip.

After some unknown pre-flop raising, Robert Williamson III and Paul Gourlay saw a flop of J J 3. Williamson checked and Gourlay led out for 1,500. Williamson minimum raised and Gourlay called. The turn was J. Williamson checked, Gourlay bet 2,500, and Williamson moved all-in for another 10,000 or so. Gourlay quickly called and turned over Q J for the unbeatable nuts. Williamson mucked, claiming pocket aces, and became the first casualty of day 1B.
