The penultimate day of Event #47: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em MONSTER STACK is on deck at 11:00 a.m. That's when 234 runners will return for 10 levels of poker as they battle for a massive first-place prize worth $1,094,349.
The chip leader coming into the day is Scott Baumstein, sitting on a mountain of chips totaling 1,592,000. Close behind him is Adrian Allain with a round 1,500,000-chip stack, and Claas Segebrecht finishes off the top three with 1,337,000.
Those 234 players are the survivors of a huge field of 6,717 unique entries. Day 2 started with 1,944 players on Monday morning, and of those remaining, 1,008 players made it into the money for a min-cash worth $2,249. The remaining players coming back today are guaranteed a payout of $5,415, but all are solely focused on pocketing over a million dollars along with the elusive gold WSOP bracelet.
As noted, Day 3 will play out much like Day 2 with 10 levels of 60 minutes apiece. There will be a 15-minute break every two hours, plus a scheduled 60-minute dinner break after the sixth level at approximately 5:30 p.m. Those left will then bag and tag their chips to come back for the final day on Wednesday at 11:00 a.m.
