Lee Davy brings you a blow-by-blow account of all the action that summed up Day 2C of the World Series of Poker Main Event.

The $10,000 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event has a long way before it reaches its zenith, but for some that moment may have already come. Take David Jackson for example. You can flick until your fingers fall off, you won’t find him in the Rolodex of ‘greatest poker players in the world.’ Instead, he fits into the saturated lake of ‘every man has a dream’.

Jackson started the day huddled within a pack of 2,747 players. It was Day 2C of the greatest poker tournament in the world. When it ended it was his name being sent to RSS feeds around the world as the man with the most chips; 408,800, more than anyone else that day, but significantly less than the 603,500 Amar Anand amassed the day prior.

All that means, when Day 3 begins, there will be 1,796 players all trying there hardest to break the 1,000-player barrier, thus receiving 50% of their buy-in back.
