Day 2 of the World Series of Poker Circuit presented by Southern Comfort 100 Proof Horseshoe Southern Indian Main Event wrapped after a long 13-hour day. Of the 140 players who returned only 21 remain and leading the charge with a stack of 840,000 is Chad Eveslage.

Jason Stanford (599,000), John Tate (516,000) and Sean Winter (470,000) form the chase pack behind Evelsage. Charles Furey, Kevin Davis, Ilias Kellikidis, and Dan Heimiller are also in contention to make some noise on Monday.

There was a rough start to Day 2 including redraw problems and a train delay – yes, a train delay. The highway that leads to the casino was blocked by stopped freight train that caused many of the local players a delay in arriving on time.

Once cards hit the air, there was action as usual. The money didn’t burst until two levels after returning from dinner. Robert Scott was the unfortunate player who was the last to be eliminated without receiving a payout.

Kathy Liebert is the short stack after bagging up 89,000. Yussi Azulay, Kenny Nguyen, Tim Chang, and Stephen Boker join Liebert at the bottom of the counts.

Midway through the day Liebert went on a tear for a level and half. She went from a slightly below average stack to one of the leaders after doubling through Sean Winter. Then she picked up pocket aces and got all of her chips in on the turn of a board reading . The river brought the and Leibert’s aces bested her opponent’s pocket eights. However, for the remainder of the day her chip stack started trending downward and she finished as the short stack.

Rounding out the field are Bryan Dillon, Neil Harding, Aaron Kerns, Joseph Worth, Ki Kim, Drennon Rackley, Jonathan Taylor, and Bryan Williams.

Action has wrapped up Saturday night for both starting flights at the 2012-2013 World Series of Poker Circuit presented by Southern Comfort 100 Proof Horseshoe Southern Indiana Main Event. The two starting flights attracted 330 players, 201 and 129 respectively, and at the end of the day, 176 players remain. Greg Brletich emerged as the chip leader with a stack of 116,300.

Just behind Brletich are Sean Winter (115,100), “Italian” Mike Iacovone (112,000), Stephen Dodd (96,500) and Chad Eveslage (95,100). William Newman, James Barger, Steven Gurney-Goldman, Sterling Savill, Robert Gee and Joe Daddario are also among the leaders.

Kenny Nguyen, “Captain” Tom Franklin, Chris Karambinis, Aaron Massey, Kathy Liebert, Eric Baldwin, Rex Clinkscales, Mike Holm, Doug Carli, Robert Scott, Luther Louis, Aaron Steury, and Corey Burbick also advanced to Day 2.

Clinkscales failed to get anything going on Day 1a and busted about halfway through. But Day 1b was a different story. He surged to the top of the counts late in the day when he made a set holding pocket nines and his opponent paired an ace.

Ari Engel has already made a final table at this stop, in Event #6, finishing in second place. He secured his chips to advance to Day 2 when he induced his opponent to move all in on the river of a board reading . His opponent held , but Engel held pocket sixes for a full house.

Of those who were unable to make it through their Day 1 starting flight were Kat Bowen, Abraham Araya, Miguel Borrero, and Nancy Birnbaum among others.

Cards will be in the air on day 2 at 1300 EST and 12 levels of play are scheduled. Follow all the WSOPC action live on Pokernews.com.
