Amnon Filippi Leads Huge Field into Day 2 of Monster Stack
Welcome back to Day 2 of Event #50: Monster Stack - $1,500 No-Limit Hold��em, an event that saw a combined total 6,035 entrants over the course of two starting flights. 2,902 of those entrants moved on to Day 2, the second of six scheduled days.
Among those scheduled to return is Amnon Fillipi (pictured left, 645,000), who currently sits first on the leaderboard with Mark Johnson (561,000), James Hundt (466,600) and Alisson Piekazewicz (465,800) all chasing him down.
Due to the event featuring a freezeout format entrants were allowed to fire one and only one bullet, which meant that many missed their shot at bagging for Day 2. However, as expected, there are a number of notables scheduled to return. Included on the list are Pierre Neuville, Lily Kiletto, John Racener, Ali Imsirovic, Ygor Yaroshevskyy,Jeannette Mendez and Alex Foxen, to name a few.
