WSOP TOC: Mike Matusow leading, Huck Seed as second
Mike “The Mouth” Matusow finished the second day of the WSOP Tournament of Champions in a great way: in chiplead. The loudmouth collected exactly 85,500 chips which is a bit more than Huck Seed’s 73k.
-Matusow won the Tournament of Champions in 2005 and was third in 2006.
A few big names were eliminated during the day - for example Doyle Brunson, Joe Cada and Mike Sexton had to leave the tournament table.
Below all the remaining 17 players and their exact chipstacks:
- Mike Matusow 85,500
- Huck Seed 73,000
- Johnny Chan 68,600
- Scotty Nguyen 64,700
- Joe Hachem 64,300
- Erik Seidel 58,900
- Allen Cunningham 58,900
- Phil Hellmuth 44,100
- Annie Duke 42,600
- Daniel Negreanu 39,900
- TJ Cloutier 38,800
- Jennifer Harman 34,200
- Howard Lederer 30,800
- Chris Ferguson 30,100
- Barry Greenstein 29,900
- Antonio Esfandiari 24,400
- Bertrand Grospellier 21,400
There are also some changes in the tournament schedule as the tournament has proceeded much slower than expected: still 17 players are competing for the $500,000 dollar main prize, although according to the estimates we should already know the finalists.
Originally it was meant to be that the nine finalists would return to the table on 4th of July, but since there are still this many players left, the tournament will continue already on July 3rd.
However, the Ante Up for Africa tournament can still mix the schedules, so it remains to be seen when we finally know the winner of this year’s TOC…
