Top Story of 2011 WSOP Day 1c – The Truth is the Real Deal
Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics is advancing to Day 2 of the 2011 World Series of Poker. He isn’t just getting by either as he heads to Day 2 with a stack of over 63,000. This is more than double the starting stack of 30,000, which means that The Truth had a solid day at the tables. Paul Pierce was up to over 100,000 at one point, but his current chip stack is still well above average.
Paul Pierce will be one of the headliners as we head into Day 2 of the 2011 World Series of Poker on Monday. There will surely be many a reporter tailing his every move on Monday. It will certainly be interesting to see if Pierce can continue to build his stack on Monday.
