Over the last four days, an even 1,700 players have come out to The HUSTLER CASINO to take their shot at the first big guarantee of the Liz Flint Poker Classic. After eight qualifying sessions spread out over those four days, only 138 players are still alive with a chance at that crown. Halford Fairchild bagged the chip lead on the second day of qualifying with 659,000, and he hasn’t given up that title, as he is the big stack coming into the day. In fact, the only other player to crack the 600k mark is Blaine Goodwin. Check below for a full list of the survivors, and don’t forget to come back here at 3 PM for the restart. We will be here until the early hours of the morning, until a winner is decided. Good luck to all the players today in their quest for the sixth tournament title here at the Fall Poker Classic!
