There were 2,020 entries in the $1k (Event 37) and there are now just 20 through to Day 3. They include British player Katie Swift, a working mum from Kent who recently finished seventh at partypoker Million North America, turning a £131 online investment into a £100k cash.
Fraser, who started Day 2 of the event very short-stacked with 15,300, has already cashed twice at this year’s WSOP: he finished 237th out of a staggering 7,761 entries in the Millionaire Maker for $6,043 and finished 50th in the £1k Pot Limit Omaha for a further $3k.
Fraser is hoping to beat his WSOP record this year; in 2016 he cashed for over $40k including a deep run in the Main Event, finishing 301st for $32,130. He said: "I'm feeling really good about my game right now, so hopefully there are some really deep runs to come during the series."
