Well I was happy to log in this morning and see that my choice for poker's next breakout star, Joe Sebok, has been doing well at the U.S. Poker Championship Main Event at the Taj Mahal. He currently sits in 6th place (pending discrepancy, see below) among a high number of well known pros still remaining in the tournament. With just under 200 players left, day two of the Championship Event begins today. Final table money for this tournament is as follows:
1. $878,500
2. $405,072
3. $215,902
4. $151,926
5. $113,926
6. $88,610
7. $63,293
8. $50,634
9. $40,508
EDIT: There seems to be a big discrepancy between various sites online as to what the final Day One chip counts were, so I am going to simply link up both CardPlayer and PokerWire (who I believe to be more accurate in this case). Either way, we will take a look later today to see who is going to the final table.
