The $10,000 Heads Up Championship at the World Series of Poker rolls into Day 2 with 32 players remaining. Thursday’s schedule, found streaming exclusively on PokerGo, calls for three rounds of play – the Round of 32, Round of 16 and finally the Round of 8.
The event kicks off 3 pm PT (6 pm ET) with a 30-minute delay on the exclusive PokerGO stream. Each round is allotted three hours – though some finish early and some stretch the match as long as possible.

Other advancing players to Thursday’s schedule are Chance Kornuth, Erik Seidel, Joe Cada, Jason Les. Olivier Busquet and Dan Smith.
Chris Ferguson played in the second round and lost to Chance Kornuth – who felt he had the entire poker world on his side for the match.
