Star Poker Summer Series Main Event chip leader heading into day 2, Tom Rafferty

The numbers are in for the 2011 Star Poker Summer Series Main Event with a total of 164 players spread across two flights and 106 signing on for yesterday’s 1B field. Combined with the 44 day 1A survivors, the 77 players still standing at the end of day 1B mean 121 players remain in the hunt for the title.

The top 18 players will be paid with the winner taking home $270,000 while the minimum payout is $13,500. The field of 164 players and AUD $1 million guarantee meant the tournament is running with an overlay of $180,000 – amazing value for the Main Event field.

Ben Delaney - 2nd Place The final hand was the one every poker player dreams about. Saidal Wardak limped in from the button, only to watch Ben Delaney move all in for roughly 250,000. Total life earnings: $15,918. Latest cash: $379 on 01-Apr-2018. Click here to see the details of Ben Delaney's 7 cashes.

Chasing an unprecedented third final table in this event in just five years (he finished ninth in 2008 and third last year), Rafferty enters day two as the overall chip leader holding 137,000.

The other players near the top of the chip count also played today, including Daniel Laidlaw (127,050), Isaac Lau (112,000) and Dien Nguyen (109,200) while both Star Poker ambassadors Grant Levy (45,550) and Aaron Benton (26,100) will be back tomorrow.
