Mike “The Mouth” Matusow finished the second day of the WSOP Tournament of Champions in a great way: in chiplead. The loudmouth collected exactly 85,500 chips which is a bit more than Huck Seed’s 73k.  

-Matusow won the Tournament of Champions in 2005 and was third in 2006. 

A few big names were eliminated during the day - for example Doyle Brunson, Joe Cada and Mike Sexton had to leave the tournament table.

Below all the remaining 17 players and their exact chipstacks:

  1. Mike Matusow          85,500
  2. Huck Seed         73,000
  3. Johnny Chan         68,600
  4. Scotty Nguyen         64,700
  5. Joe Hachem             64,300
  6. Erik Seidel         58,900
  7. Allen Cunningham     58,900
  8. Phil Hellmuth         44,100
  9. Annie Duke         42,600
  10. Daniel Negreanu     39,900
  11. TJ Cloutier         38,800
  12. Jennifer Harman     34,200
  13. Howard Lederer         30,800
  14. Chris Ferguson         30,100
  15. Barry Greenstein     29,900
  16. Antonio Esfandiari     24,400
  17. Bertrand Grospellier     21,400

There are also some changes in the tournament schedule as the tournament has proceeded much slower than expected: still 17 players are competing for the $500,000 dollar main prize, although according to the estimates we should already know the finalists.

Originally it was meant to be that the nine finalists would return to the table on 4th of July, but since there are still this many players left, the tournament will continue already on July 3rd.

However, the Ante Up for Africa tournament can still mix the schedules, so it remains to be seen when we finally know the winner of this year’s TOC…
