WPT Jacksonville - Day 2: 42 survivors, Coelho as leader
After the two entries full of surprises of the first day, the Main Event of the World Poker Tour Jacksonville (WPT) continues with the 168 survivors at the entrance of Day 2. This day was a day of luck for some players but also made the misfortune of others. Of the 393 qualified from Day 1 so, they were only 42 qualified players at the entrance of Day 3 to fight for the six seats at the final table. After the six levels of 90 minutes, Victor Coelho had less than a million chips after winning nearly 1,080,000 chips face to Joel Schmidt. Coelho also eliminated during this race Schmidt and also Jeff Forrest and became the chipleader of Day 2 of this poker tournament by accumulating a stack of 945,000 chips. Connor Drinan holds the second place in chip count with a big gap of 340,000 tokens (605,000) followed by Alexander Venovski with 592,500 chips.
Behind the leading trio, we find Darryll Fish (579,000), Sam Soverel (510,000), Allie Prescott (441,500), Micah Raskin (437,000), Matt Ezrol (435,500), Michael Swimelar (399,000) and Andy Philachack (398,000). Dwyte Pilgrim, Mike Beasley, Corey Burbick, Lisa Hamilton, Chris Tryba, Deshun Boone, Artie Rodriguez and Zoltan Czinnkota are also among the 42 players qualified for the Day 3. This day also experienced unexpected eliminations. Indeed, the chipleaders from Day 1A Matthew Jarvis and Day 1B, Tommy Vedes who pocketed the biggest stacks at the start of the day were eliminated from the meeting because as such event, playing poker is not enough but players should be talented, too. It is the same for Tony Dunst, John Racener, Michael Gracz, Nick Schulman, David "The Dragon" Pham, Matt Glantz, Victor Ramdin, Harrison Gimbel, Jonathan Little and Shaun Deeb.
