Tournament Report

Day 2 When Steven Brackesy and Marcus Raulukaitis got heads up, they were nearly even in chips. Brackesy proposed that they chop the prize money, but Raulukaitis fatefully declined. A few minutes later, Raulukaitis moved all in with Kd Qd, and Brackesy quickly called with Ac Qc. Suddenly, Brackesy had nearly all the chips. Now dangerously short stacked, Raulukaitis picked up Ac 5s and moved in with his remaining chips. Brackesy called with 8s 8c. Brackesy groaned in frustration when the Ad hit the turn, but he was redeemed when the 8h hit the river, giving him a set and the win. -Daniel Lazerek DAY 1 Prize Structure 1st $48,996 2nd $25,172 3rd $14,384 4th $10,788 5th $7,192 6th $6,293 7th $5,394 8th $4,495 9th $4,045 10th $3,596 11th $3,147 12th $2,697 13th $2,247 14th $1,798 15th $1,384 16th-20th $1,168 21st-25th $988 26th-30th $809 31st-40th $629 41st-60th $449 61st-80th $269 Day 1 Results The following 90 players advance to Day 2: Ackerman, Christopher J.
