After losing half his stack on the final hand of the night yesterday when his jacks ran into Vanessa Rousso’s kings, Danny “THE_D_RY” Ryan (pictured right) has doubled his starting 17k stack twice and currently sits at 60k in the 1.5k NL WSOP Event #52.
“It’s been a roller coaster tournament for me,” Ryan said.
Ryan won his first double up when his AQ held up against his opponents AJ. Ryan won another all-in confrontation when the big blind stuck his pocket nines in preflop when Ryan raised out of the small blind when it was folded to him. Ryan saw about the best hand he could be up against when his opponent tabled 9-8.
Cody “thugmoneymkr” Slaubaugh is off to a great start increasing his starting 70k to over 120k in the first few levels.
“I’m running pretty good today,” said Slaubaugh, whose hoping to make his second WSOP final table this summer after finishing runner-up a week ago.
George “TheButler” Dietz is hanging around with 36k with the average stack at 60k with blinds at 1k-2k-300 with 150 players left.
Dietz is getting sweated by his good friend Kevin “BeLOWaBOVe” Saul, who according to Saul, introduced him to gambling when he was a teenager in Chicago when he started playing pool and PLO games.
Joe “JonesJ1″ Jones is holding on with an even shorter stack with 18k and Scott “ssitron” Sitron’s 88k starting stack has lost a chunk in the first few levels and is down to 65k.
