With 111 players returning for day 2 at the Empire Casino in London, it did not take long for some serious action to take place. The field still filled with an endless list of poker superstars each yearning to win the coveted Gold bracelet and not to mention the £1,000,000 first prize.
After the field had been reduced from day 1 action, the play continued in a single casino (the Empire Casino). One table that caught everyone’s attention was what was being called ‘The Table of Doom’ that featured Humberto Brenes, Phil Hellmuth, Farzad Bonyadi and Jan Sorenson who combine have a total of 18 WSOP bracelets a staggering number. But the most feared player of the day and leader and the end of day 2 was none other than Gus Hansen. He started his run to the top by knocking out poker royalty in the form of Pam Brunson of the Brunson family poker dynasty. Other victims on Hansen’s list include WSOP bracelet winner Greg Raymer and online poker's Hendon Mobster Ram Vaswani when Hansen flopped a full house, sevens full of fives.
At the end of the day, professional poker's Gus Hansen reined supreme among only 40 players who remained. One of the 40 players who was still standing at the end of the day included yesterday’s stand out player Phil Hellmuth, although he took several serious hits throughout the day leaving him with a miniscule chip stack. Play at the Empire Casino is moving a rapid pace and play should come to an end within the next few days.
