ClubWPT.com End of Day 2 Update

Both Jesse Lopez and Dean Meyer came into the second day of play here at the Foxwoods World Poker Finals with high hopes but low expectations since both of them started the day with some of the smallest stacks in the field.

The two ClubWPT.com qualifiers had big days courtesy of some timely double ups, big calls and a lot of patience.  Neither player played many pots during this last level of the day, so they ended slightly down from where they were to end Level 9.  Lopez took a couple of hits after his big hand against Kathy Liebert to end the day with 61,700.  However, considering he started the day with just 9,000 chips, his chip stack has to feel massive compared to where he started the day.

Meyer ended the day with just 30,500, but the ever-optimistic North Dakotan put his end of day results in a positive light.  "Yesterday I ended with 25,000," Meyer explained.  "So, the way I see it, I am up 5,000 chips on the day and that is fine with me."

The third ClubWPT.com qualifier, Alan Sasser, made his exit from the event earlier in the day, but he will be able to look back on Foxwoods with fond memories of ending Day 1 with a top ten chip stack, making a big call with ace high against known pro Theo Tran and holding his own against poker pros like Christian Harder and Victor Ramdin.

Stay tuned tomorrow to see if our two remaining ClubWPT.com qualifiers can continue their wild Foxwoods ride into the money alongside the other 71 players still in the field here in Connecticut.
