The second day of the WSOP Circuit Bally’s Las Vegas Main Event was brought to an end mere hours ago, with Asher Conniff proceeding as a chip leader to the last day of the event.
As a matter of fact, Day 2 of the $1,700 Main Event saw great progress for Conniff, who was just outside the top 20 players at the beginning of the day. After only ten levels of play, the player managed to boost his chip stack to 3,030,000, entering the third and final day of the event as a chip leader. Conniff is to be looking to win his first WSOP Circuit gold ring and is to now enter the last day of the Main Event on top of the 12-player pack who survived the competition of the two previous days.
