Main Event: Day 2 Set to Go

Level 15:  2,000/4,000 with a 4,000 ante
Players Remaining:  125 of 779

The opening flights of the 2020 Winter Poker Open Main Event are complete with 125 of 779 making it through to Day 2. They all gather together today to begin playing down to our Main Event champion.

Jack Sumner bagged the biggest stack in Flight A and the lead held through the next two flights. Event 2 champ Ryan Hogan and Fernando Rodriguez round out the list of players over 500K but the deep stacks and slow structure mean everyone is still in contention.

Today’s plan is simple; continue playing 40-minute levels until only seven players remain. Once there, the final table will bag up their chips and return on Monday to play it out.

Cards go back in the air at noon and we will be here all day with them.

Top 10 returning stacks:

  1. Jack Sumner – 564,000
  2. Ryan Hogan – 537,000
  3. Fernando Rodriguez – 534,000
  4. Tom Nguyen – 450,000
  5. Pablo Valdivieso – 421,000
  6. Maxwell Young – 415,000
  7. Manny Minaya – 413,000
  8. Tony Miles – 411,000
  9. Truyen Nguyen – 400,000
  10. Michael Beattie – 397,000

Jonathan Marlow

Now that the math is done and posted, we could walk the field and see who’s doing something. Looks like Jonathan Marlow is having himself a nice run after dinner.

The Tampa regular has a castle in front of him worth 422,500 for a big lead on the rest of the players. To put that number in perspective; if the flight came to an end right now, Marlow would have a top five stack coming back for Day 2. But he still has three levels to spin it higher and aim for Jack Sumner’s 564,000 bag that is currently leading.

Marlow has some nice scores since the return of tournament poker with a Saturday Double 30s win in both September and October and a Pinktober Event 2 final table.
