The WSOP circuit event at the Showboat in Atlantic City has finished day two of play and local poker pro, Chris Reslock has widened his chip lead.

He rocketed up from nearly 50,000 in chips on the first day to 133,900 going into Day Three. Reslock is currently the only player with over 100,000 in chips. Recent tournament winner and poker millionaire Nick Schulman is in a distant second-place with 87,400. Nearly everyone else of the remaining 27 players are out-chipped by at least 2 to 1 by Reslock.

Reslock is well-known locally. He has been playing poker seriously for over ten years and now calls it his profession, after leaving his job as a cab driver. Reslock has yet to breakthrough to the national poker scene, although he clearly has the talent to compete versus poker’s best players.

Here are the chip leaders going into day three:

Chris Reslock 133,900
Nick Schulman 87,400
James J. Salters 69,500
John Juanda 65,500
Alan Schein 55,400
Daniel Shak 50,900
Lee Watkinson 40,100
Eric Panayiotou 38,600
Roland Isra 34,500
John Spadavecchia 32,300
Dan Tolly 32,300


It's been a frustrating couple of days at Poker.com, with a couple of server problems wreaking havoc to a few of our most popular tournaments. Once again we apologise to any players affected and thank our loyal players for your support.

We've managed to track down the problem and it shouldn't be an issue in the future. It can be both a frustrating and rewarding process developing your own software, and I really feel for our tech guys when things don't go exactly as planned.

And it's amazing to me how some people react to a stressful or unknown situation. Logic and sense often seems to go out the window and anger and greed takes over. Some of the emails we received from players were simply shocking. Despite always acting with integrity in the past all of sudden we were the worst people on earth in some people's eyes. I know it has taught me to be a lot more patient and understanding whenever I am a customer...
