Big Name Pros Fall on Day 2, WSOP Main Event Final Table Set

The big name pros are all gone from the WSOP Main Event on WSOP.com, but the ESPN-televised finale should be a sight for sore eyes for the poker community.

We told you yesterday that the final 71 players included numerous big name pros. Players such as Dan Zack, Ryan Laplante, Nick Schulman and other familiar faces bagged chips and advanced to Day 2. But outside of Upeshka De Silva, the Day 1 chip leader, you likely won’t recognize any other final table competitor’s name.

With that said, we’re talking about the World Series of Poker Main Event here. Stars are born in this tournament, even in an unconventional year like 2020. And given that we’ve all been desperately craving some televised major live poker tournaments, the final table should be an entertaining watch regardless of the star power.
