Lex "L.Veldhuis" Veldhuis is down below 200k chips now, but still in the battle. He lost some of those chips recently in a hand where he called a three-bet preflop from "Gremio CEM" with both in early position, then called a flop bet but folded turn on a board of 8♠7♥9♦K♣.
In the final hand of the previous level, Armin "armin1912" Rezaei raised under the gun to 36,800, and "ContraSpemSper0" made it 85,000 from the hijack. It folded back to Rezaei and he flatted to a flop of 10♥9♣6♠. He then check-raised the flop from 76,640 to 216,000 and forced a fold, though "ContraSpemSper0" went into their time bank before finding the muck.
Rafael "GM_VALTER" Moraes is also grinding out his Day 2 and not afraid to put himself at risk. In a recent hand he opened early to 32k, then shoved for 320k remaining when Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle three-bet to 80k from the hijack.
Lex "L.Veldhuis" Veldhuis is still in the game but he's had some trouble getting his stack to stay above 500k. He got there for a bit, but then lost a hand where he opened the middle to 32,800, but had to fold after a three-bet from "Gladi3" and a four-bet from big stack Rayan "beriuzy" Chamas, who made it 132,800 to push out both Veldhuis and the three-bettor.
