Just One 2010 Finalist Left
Level 13
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Somewhere during the course of the first three levels, we lost both Grant Hillman and Donna Jetter. They both made the final table here last year, and their bid for repeat runs has come to an end.
There's still one man left with a chance ago going back-to-back, though. Rhymingly, it's Dan Black. The cowboy has about 75,000 chips as he returns for this level, and we'll be keeping a close eye on him as he guns for another final table.
Breaking Good
Level 13
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
The last of the outlier tables has just been broken, and the remaining players are now all together in one section of the tournament area. There are eleven tables left in play. Quick math, quick math... it looks like we've crossed under the century mark, and 99 players now remain.
Bergen Nails Set on the River
We found this hand at the turn with the board showing 
and Eric Bergen checked to his opponent. The unknown player moved all in and Bergen took only a few moments to call.
Bergen: 
Opponent: 
Bergen was drawing to a diamond or one of the two remaining jacks. The river was Yahtzee! for Bergen when it came 
and knocked out the other player. Bergen passed the 200,000 mark with elimination.

Keikoan Still Falling
Day 2 has been unkind to Matt Keikoan thus far, and we just watched him drop another chunk of his stack.
Keikoan was the preflop raiser, opening to 3,500. Only the big blind wanted to tangle, and he defended to see a flop. It came 
, and Keikoan continued out with another 3,600. His opponent check-raised all in for 12,200, though, and Keikoan quickly called with 
.
"I got a nine," his opponent said, flipping up 
.
The turn gave Keikoan four outs to the win, but he could not catch up. The river was the blank 
, and Keikoan is forced to pay off the double. This one knocks him back to about 42,000, and he'll need to stop the bleeding here quickly if he hopes to work his way into the money.

Captain Hooked
Level 13
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
We missed the hand that took the rest of his chips, but a short-stacked "Captain" Tom Franklin has just become the latest victim of this Day 2. We were just on the way over to check on him when he stood up, grabbed his coat, and headed for the rail.
Barnhart Doubles, Still Short
Level 13
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Sam Barnhart got his last 11,300 chips into the middle good, and his 
had him poised to double through an opponent holding 
.
The board ran out safe for the 2011 bracelet winner, coming 
to secure his double. He's back up to 26,000 now and back over starting stack.

Castoire Continues to Climb
Robert Castoire was in the small blind when the player on the button opened for 14,000. Castoire moved all in, the big blind folded and the button called.

The board ran 
and Castoire knocked out his opponent and continues to climb up the leaderboard.

Another Broken Table
Level 14
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Another table full of players have just been broken, and we're down to our final 90 players. There's been no slowdown yet, and with the money still more than 50 places away, we don't expect to see one for quite some time still.
