Welcome to Day 2 of Hollywood Poker Open Grantville Regional Main Event
After a long and grueling Day 1, Hollywood Poker Open Grantville Regional Main Event is set to resume with Day 2, which will see a winner crowned. That winner will take home more than $30,000 and a seat in the HPO season-ending tournament in Las Vegas, worth $2,500.
Play is set to resume at Level 15 (1,500/3,000/500), with 18 players remaining. The most robust stack belongs to Jeremy Cline, with 274,000. Other top contenders include Michael Nolan (260,500), tour ambassador and former Main Event champ Chris Moneymaker (199,000), Kent Bitzer (148,000), Alex Queen (132,000), and Ethan Dolan (100,500). Moneymaker is seeking his third HPO final table and his second outright win.
With a 92-player field having turned out this Easter weekend, that means nine players will be paid. Expect a tense bubble and then a deep-stacked final table as the competitors play out 60-minute levels, with breaks given every two levels until a winner is crowned.
