TK Miles
There’s been little action over the last 30 minutes since the three-table redraw. A short-stacked Jeffrey Bohanek went out in 27th but it’s been pretty smooth sailing for everyone else.
Except for TK Miles. He’s been quietly moving his stack higher and Luke Graham moved to his left. No Miles is the chip leader with 1,536,000 while Graham has dropped back to the field.

Jerry Wong, during 2017 LHPO when he dominated Event 1
We had seven players enter the Main Event this morning before the start of Day 2. One of those seven was former SHRP champ, and November Niner, Jerry Wong. Naturally, he had to battle a short stack but he made the money and a min-cash.
That was a nice $1,000 profit for a couple hours of work.

Chris Bolek
We were spoiled with the first two big money bubbles of the series, there was a double knockout on the first hand of tournaments for a quick burst. This time it went a little longer.
Nine hands and 20 minutes later after hand-for-hand began, Chris Bolek did the work. An opponent moved all in from under the gun and Bolek called from the button. It was a race with Bolek’s ahead of and the pair held as the board ran .
The knockout put the last 44 players in the money and we should see the pace pick up a bit.
