Laz Hernandez cannot be contained. The local amateur swam through the sea of sharks here at the Borgata Winter Poker Open WPT Main Event Championship once again, and after entering the day as the chip leader, Hernandez turned the trick a second time.
A clash with a poker legend left Hernandez on the right side of two big hands, as he flopped quad nines to down Mike Sexton's paired ace-king. From there, not even a bit of confusion regarding a lucky river card could stop Hernandez, and he continued to amass chips at a startling rate, ending the night with 753,000 to narrowly edge Matthew Haugen (735,500) for top honors.
A number of notable names came and went today, including the defending champion of this event Andy Hwang, Matt Salsberg, Matt Waxman, Kevin Eyster, Tony Dunst, Steve Brecher, Tony Ruberto, Victor Ramdin, Ravi Raghavan, Anthony Zinno, Jordan Cristos, Erick Lindgren, Derrick Rosenbarger, Allen Kessler, Lee Childs, Darren Elias, Ebony Kenney, Justin Zaki, Jeff Madsen, Chris Tryba, Aaron Steury, Kathy Liebert, Todd Terry, James Woods and Jacob Bazeley.
A total of 188 players survived the Day 2 killing fields to return tomorrow at noon local time, and the field will play through the money bubble to arrive at the final three tables. Check back then to follow PokerNews' live coverage of this WPT Main Event Championship live from the floor of the Borgata.
