The Day 2 action has continued at a brisk pace as Level 23 brought more feltings.

The first two hands on the bubble were not interesting but things went sideways when we had two all-ins called on the third.

On one table, Michael Foley had his opponent all in and in trouble with against . They waited for the rest of the table to finish when another one happened.

Voitto Rintala had Kiaran McLaughlin all in and covered with the board sitting . McLaughlin flopped trip queens but was up against Rintala’s flopped full house .

They ran the kings versus nines first and Foley’s big hand held to burst the bubble. On the other, the board finished and to send the other bubble player out.

That left 62 players in the tournament with only a few hands remaining in the day.
