Many, if not all top ranked players have played in Atlantic City at one time or another, but Phil or "Jerome" or " Ji" as I called him is an Atlantic City favorite.
It's great to see him doing well and would be even better to see him take the H.O.R.S.E. event...

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 22:44:58 Day 2b Concludes;
Onwards Our four-level Day 2b has come to a close, and what a day it's been. A whopping 2,924 players from Days 1c and 1d started today, and with capacity officially at around 2,800, the tournament directors were forced to drag out some extra tables to accommodate them all -- literally every poker table in the whole building was in use at the start of the day. With the expected Day 2 carnage, we lost more than half our our field in eight hours of play. Among those who couldn't stand the pace were Erick Lindgren, Shannon Shorr, Victor Ramdin, Vanessa Rousso, Scotty Nguyen and Howard Lederer. Among those who will be coming back for Day 3, though, we have such luminaries as Phil Ivey, ElkY, David Benyamine, Justin Bonomo and Dan Harrington. In addition, Day 1d chip leader Troy Weber seems to have maintained his status as leader of the pack. There will be a one-day rest break for everyone to psyche themselves up, so we'll be back on Friday July 10th at noon to see if we can't get this baby into the money!
