William Diep on Day 2 of the WPT-National event here at Aspers<\/p><\/div>\n

Day 2 is in the can, and with two dozen players remaining in the WPT-National UK Event here in Aspers Casino in Stratford, London, the 24 players will resume play at 3.00pm on Sunday to fight to the finish, and that elusive \u00a327,500 top prize.<\/p>\n

Day 2 was a superb day’s poker, with bust-outs, drama, tension and most of all fun as 260 players were reduced to just three tables of eight players by half past midnight. \u00a0With 40-minute blind levels instead of 30 minutes, there was more room for play than ever, but players seemed to want to race towards the conclusion. \u00a0Action was faster on Day 2 than on some of the earlier flights, and the run from 65 players remaining to the bubble at 55th-54th place lasted just ten frantic minutes.<\/p>\n

We lost partypoker’s Kara Scott just before the bubble, but she outlasted so many other players, the face of partypoker wasn’t disappointed. \u00a0Every table she was on seemed to have the most fun and none more so than Kara. \u00a0Her late shove with just fourteen big blinds after experiencing earlier coolers was with but she ran into the big blind’s and lasted no longer. \u00a0Only one female remained at the close of play, the gutsy and gregarious Sandra Reid, who almost did for Chaz Chattha when she had Q-Q and he held J-J. Chattha made a superb fold on the river to save his tournament life, then went on a trademark rush to finish the day well clear of the average chips.<\/p>\n

The lead changed hands frequently, with early pace-setter Onise Daneliya never far off it. \u00a0He was taken over by Vincent Meli, but Meli woould later run into trouble and his half-million stack expired before the witching hour. \u00a0Onise grabbed back the lead after hitting more aces than anyone could have predicted. \u00a0Three times in two orbits, he called it off with ace-high and got there, twice against the unfortunate Dave McConachie, who lost a huge pot with his kings unable to hold against Onise’s to bust shortly after. \u00a0Having won a day here at WPT National, Flight 3 with 157,100 chip, he won a consolation prize of a Sit n Go to play Mad Marvin Rettenmaier – an experience to treasure for anyone!<\/p>\n

William Diep jumped over the million mark and sat behind a wall of chips, looking like he would cruise into the lead as the day closed. \u00a0But Daivid Gassian had other ideas. \u00a0Attacking relentlessly until the last hand, Gassian bagged up the most to head into the final with the biggest chip mountain:<\/p>\n

From the World Poker Tour themselves giving the ‘Bubble Boy’ Rod McDermott a free seat to WPT Newcastle for being so gracious after the bubble lasted an age and ten short stacks doubled before he busted, to the Aspers Poker Room management, we’ve enjoyed a fantastic weekend, and hope you have too. \u00a0Here are all the payouts so far from a superbly run event:<\/p>\n
