"He's 26-1 in hands" said Mike Nye as we walked past the table. "I knocked out 2 or players" joked Karajic who at least for now is the runaway Day 1C Event 2 chip leader.

Mark Scacewater

The Day 1B Event 2 is thinning fast and we are down to just 100 players. They are now on a 15-minute break and plenty of big stacks are starting to emerge. The two biggest stacks in the field just happen to be seated side by side at Table 12.

Mike Tokatlyan

Mark Scacewater and Mike Tokatlyan are both playing nearly identical stacks of about 215,000. We will surely keep an eye on the table as there's plenty of potential for a monster pot if these two massive stacks elect to clash.

Kevin Planchon

Kevin Planchon got his stack of his 24,000 all in pre-flop holding K♣️K♥️. It looked like the end of the road for Planchon as he ran into the A♠️A♦️ of a player in late position.

The dealer fanned the Q♥️Q♦️2♦️ flop and it was no help for Planchon. The K♦️ hit the turn and Planchon spiked his two outer improving to kings full of queens to take control of the hand.

The river 6♣️ sealed the deal for Planchon and he cracked his opponents aces to earn the double up and stay alive. 

Kevin Planchon- 50,000
