Event 13 (Day 2): First Level In The Books

Event 13 ($1,500 No Limit Hold'em Championship Event)

$500,000 Guaranteed Prize Pool

Level 14 (Blinds 1,500/3,000/400)

Total Entries: 466

Players Remaining: 85

Chip Average: 164,000

Play has just entered the second level of the day, with blinds going up to 1,500/3,000/400.  As expected, the action was pretty fast to start off, with (23) players eliminated over the course of the first hour of play. Now that many of the short stacks have either doubled up or been eliminated, we should definitely see things slow down a little.  Some of the notables to bust during Level 13 included:

Al Schein

Brian Hastings

Harrison Gimbel 

Vladislav Mezheritsky

George Horteland

William Beasley

Andjelko Andrejevic
