Players Remaining:  72 of 798

There was a quick break after Level 18 to keep the field on schedule and it gave us a chance to check out the stacks after 45 minutes of play.

Chad Summers came back for Day 2 with a stack slightly above average at 218,000. But now he sits at the top of the counts with 705,000 to lead after the break. Carlos Rojas is second with 700,000 followed by James Salmon’s 678,000 and Francois Gagne’s 686,000.

Jonathan Marcu was down to 94,000 and open-shoved from middle position. Carlos Rojas took a minute on the button, he called with his big stack, and the blinds folded.

Rojas:
Marcu:

It was a race and Marcu needed to improve to double up. The board ran out , no help for Marcu, and he was eliminated in 80th place.

Marcu is coming off a nice run in Hollywood when he cashed three times in their Poker Showdown series with two final tables, both resulting in third place finishes.

Carlos Rojas – 690,000 (86 bb)
Jonathan Marcu – Eliminated in 80th Place ($692)

As expected, a lot of short stacks hit the payout desk when they were unable to spin it up. Mark Cannon and Solange Lucas began Day 2 with less than a starting stack and dropped early but David Williams is sticking around for a little longer.

He saw Joseph Murphy move all in from early position for about 60,000 and Akeelo Rhoden came along with the bigger stack. Williams was sitting in the big blind with only 13,000 after paying the ante and called at risk.

Murphy:
Rhoden:
Williams:

Williams needed to catch something to triple up and flopped an open-ended straight draw on the flop that got there on the turn. The river finished the board to improve Rhoden for the bigger side pot. Williams tripled and Rhoden made a nice addition despite having the second-best hand.

David Williams – 45,000 (6 bb)
Akeelo Rhoden – 145,000 (18 bb)
Joseph Murphy – Eliminated

Cards are back in the air for Day 2 of RunGood Event 1 with 100 players remaining and everyone in the money. They are all guaranteed at least $524 but aiming for the $46,250 top prize.

The action will be very fast at the restart with short stacks making moves to double or pick up a payout slip. The big stacks will try to pick them off.
