It was an action packed day at The HUSTLER CASINO yesterday, as the two starting flights saw 434 total entries, with 420 of them using their optional add-on. At the end of the day, Yaacov Haviv ended up on top, bagging a monster stack of 458,000, which is clear of the field by more than 130,000. In second place is local regular Peter Hengsakul (344,000), who had a big stack all day in the opening flight yesterday.
Other notables to punch a Day 2 ticket included Angelo “Hero” Aguiluz (321,000), Gevork Kasabyan (247,000), Nipun Java (196,000), Frank Lin (179,000), Michael Maarup (175,000), and Clint Mooney (37,00).
If you missed out on the action yesterday, don’t fret! You still have six more chances over the next three days, including two today, at 1 PM and 5:30 PM. In those flights, the top 10% will be making the money, but only the top 9% will be moving on. Good luck to all the players, and congratulations to those who have already moved on!
