Day 2a WSOP Roundup
The half centuries:
Day 2A concluded last night in Vegas Jon Moonves in pole postion with 570K in chips. Jeff “The Rain” Banghart on 551K and Tuan Lam on 515,000.
Gone gone gone!
Down and out notables are Hoyt Corkins, William Chen, 2005 main event champ, Joe Hachem, Orla’s conquest Patrik Antonius, motor-mouth Tony G and the very amicable and charitable, Barry Greenstein.
Two of the top ladies also hit the rails neither Evelyn Ng or Victoria Coren will cash this year.
Unfortunately Irishman Alan Smurfit ran his pocket sevens into poacket aces and busted out of the main event 
there goes his hopes of a second wsop 2007 bracelet.
The contenders:
Pro players Scotty Nguyen and Julian Gardner are fairing well with 74k and 130K respectively. Spiderman (Toby Maguire) is clinging to very reasonable 150K. WSOP 2007 Pot limit Omaha champ Robert Mizrachi is well on his way to bracelet number two with 159K. This would be one hell of a year for him if he could pull it off!
Pro’s to watch!
Adopted Irish player Willie Tann is on 282K and founder of the venerable EPT Mr John Duthie is on 381,500.
In the green corner:
Donnacha O’Dea keeps the hopes alive for the Irish having finished up Day 2A with 40K.
