"January $100,000 II" (Day 2): Field ITM!!! Heading On First Break Of The Day

"January $100,000 II"
$250 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 19 (Blinds 4,000/8,000/1,000)
Total Entries: 867
Players Remaining: 81


The remaining stack of Matthew Le Conche (Wellington, FL), who was able to sneak into the money, after the double elimination on the final hand of Level 18.

After a surprisingly long money bubble, the "January $100,000 II" field is now in the money, after two players were eliminated on what was going to be the final hand of Level 18.  Michael Inberg and Joanna Rodriguez happened to be holding the same hand (at different tables), as their Ax Jx both fell short.  Because of the double elimination, the pair will split 82nd place money, each walking away with $212.  While everyone in the field was happy to finally be in the money, nobody will be happier than Matt Le Conche, who cashed with ever showing up for Day 2.  Le Conche's stack, which started at 69,000, only had remaining chips for three hands.  He will now earn $470, which will be set aside for pickup at a later date. 

The remaining (81) players are now on break, and will be returning to Level 19, with new blinds of 4,000/8,000/1,000 (188,000 chip average).
