Jeff Fitzgerald returned today with a stack of 78,000 - which was well above average. We just found him sitting on just over 250,000. He's done some serious work in the first three levels.

Drazen Ilich had been nursing a short stack for quite some time here on Day 2 and recently committed it after action folded to him in the cutoff. The player in the big blind snapped him off and Ilich was in a bad spot.

Ilich was up out of his seat in preparation for his exit, which came after the board ran out

We're not sure how it happened, but Bernard Lee just made his way by our desk and said goodbye. He informed us that he had good cards here on Day 2, but as any poker player knows, sometimes that's not enough.

The reigning champ of this event, Kyle Cartwright, busted last night on Day 1b but opted to reenter here at the start of Day 2 with a 20-big-blind stack. It appears to have been a good decision as he had already ran it up to 76,000.
In a recent hand, Cartwright got his stack of 37,100 all in preflop holding 
and was racing against his opponent's 
. Every time we watch Cartwright in a hand he wins, and that's what he did here as the board ran out 
.
Cartwright won his fourth gold ring yesterday, and with a little luck he may make a push for number five here today.

We found Nelly in a hand against four other players. The flop fell and he bet 7,000. After a few moments of thought from each player they all folded. He looked a little down that no one wanted to play with him so he showed the to keep the table guessing.
Nelly was one of the 20 or so players that elected to start the day with a 20 big blind stack. He chipped up in the first level to just over 30,000. But two quick hands later he's back down to around 15,000.
