A look back at Day 7 of the 2011 WSOP

With three bracelets being awarded on Sunday the 2011 WSOP calmed down a little bit on Monday as only FOUR events were taking place!

Event 8: $1,000 No Limit Holdem, Day 2

The big news on Day 2 of the $1k NLHE tournament was the emergence of Jonathan Duhamel, who ended the day in the middle of the pack with just 59 players still in contention for the win. However, the 2010 WSOP Main Event Champion will have to overcome the massive chip-lead of Jon “PearlJammer” Turner on Day 3 if he has hopes of winning his second WSOP bracelet.

Here is a look at the top 10 chip counts at the end of Day 2:

1.       Jon Turner - 749,000

2.       Kyle Speake - 573,000

3.       Hunter Frey - 535,000

Event #9: $1,500 2-7 Lowball, Day 3

It was another win for Great Britain on Monday as Matt Perrins joined Jake Cody (his best friend btw) as bracelet winners at the 2011 WSOP.
