Winter Poker Open Main Event

Level 15: 1,500/3,000/500 | Payouts
Players Remaining: 146/671

From 671 starting entries, the Winter Poker Open Main Event is down to 146 and on to Day 2. The super-sized field generated a prize pool  that eclipsed the $1,000,000 mark before topping out at $1,006,500. Just the top 63 finish in the money and it will be a grind to get there as the field needs to cut in half and then some.

Farid Jattin

Leading the action to start Day 2 is Flight B’s Farid Jattin. Jattin, an international pro, beat up his start day and enjoys a stack of 435,500 to start today. He’s the only player over 400,000 as Justin Harvel sits second with 381,000 and Juan Martinez third with 377,500.
