The second of five qualifying days of Event #9 is in the books, and Lance Allred still holds a healthy lead over his closest opponent. However, Gevork Kasabyan has 445,000, and has had an impressive Fall Poker Classic so far. This is Kasabyan’s fourth cash of the series, including a third place finish in a previous event. Other notables to move on yesterday include Nick Phoenix (355,000), Ben Chung (315,000), Vadim Baranovsky (219,000), and Gal Yifrach (141,000).
We also had our first double qualifier of the event, as Paul Chung made it through again. For his efforts, Chung has already locked up a payday of $2,000, and will be looking to add to that total with either another qualifying run or a deep run on Monday’s final. Don’t forget, you have two more chances at it today, with sessions kicking off at 1 and 5:30 PM, so don’t miss out on your opportunity!
