Eoin Starr Surges Late to Lead of Final Nine the Huge PokerNews Cup

Day 2 of the Golden Nugget Grand Poker Series Event #55 2022 PokerNews Cup $1,100 has reached its end after about 11 hours of play. The day began with 156 hopefuls out of a field of 1,245 and ended with the final table of nine.

The chip leader of the final nine is Ireland's Eoin Starr with 8,850,000. He collected the majority of his stack on the hand of the night where Thomas Hayward jammed an overpair into his flopped trips which gave Starr a huge pot and send Hayward out the door after he had previously been chip leader not long before that.
