Jeff Cormier Leads Day 2 of the $10,300 NL 6-Max High Roller
The second of three High Rollers during the 2017 World Cup of Cards is slated to finish today, with Jeff Cormier leading the remaining 11 players with 583,500 chips.
This two-day tournament began yesterday, with a little bit of a late start, and ended with 28 entries. Registration is still open today before cards fly, and there is a $400,000 guarantee that players are going to be chasing. Players began with 100,000 chips and played 10 levels before bagging and tagging. Today, a winner will be crowned!
There will be a featured table on the live stream on a 30-minute delay, along with the final table. The stream can be found here a short while after play has begun.
Behind Cormier sitting in second is David Ormsby with 500,000, and Jonathan Karamalikis (298,600), Thomas Lefort (295,700) and partypoker Team Pro Kristen Bicknell (267,300) make up the top half of the counts.
Also in the field is 2010 WSOP Main Event champion Jonathan Duhamel (213,700), Francois Billard (206,100), Ryan David McEathron (149,000), Faisal Khan (111,200), Marc-Olivier Carpentier-Perrault (95,000) and Sam Chartier (90,900).
Canada's own Ari Engel was the first to bust yesterday, with Chance Kornuth also finding his way to the rail.
With late registration still open, the tables have been kept open a little to fill seats and avoid having a single table with all of the late entries ending up on it.
