We are down to just 80 players in the first flight of the day, and 22 of those players will be moving on to the Day 2 finals next week. We took a walk over to the floor to see who was there and doing well. We found a handful of notables, including one of the biggest stacks left, Sam Goncuoglu. Sam chopped one of the major events at last year’s Holiday Poker Classic, and is well on his way to another Day 2 here at Hustler. Scroll down to see his count, and the rest of our notables, and be sure to come back tomorrow morning to find out who makes it through today!
