Hot Hwang

Shamus

Yung Hwang started the day with a little under 65,000 chips, and through the first three-and-a-half-hours of play has managed to build his stack up considerably to more than three times that amount.

Just now he took another small pot in a blind-vs.-blind hand that saw he and his opponent check down the board, Hwang's opponent showed , then Hwang turned over to win the small pot.

"Running good," said a player from across the table.

Shortly thereafter, Hwang further proved the player's point after calling a short-stacked player's all-in bet with versus his opponent's . The board rolled out , that river jack making Hwang a straight to score the knockout and claim about a 50,000-chip pot.

Hwang now appears to have moved into the chip lead with about 180 players left.

Mickey Doft

With the board reading with roughly 45,000 in the middle, Roland Israelashvili was facing a decision for 28,500. He spent a good three minutes in the tank before sliding in calling chips.

His opponent acknowledged a good call on Israelashvili's part, who tabled a winning to win the pot and contend for the chip lead.

Thomas Takes One

Shamus

Following a button raise to 4,500, Travell Thomas quickly called from the small blind and the big blind came along as well.

"Ace-four-deuce," said Thomas, delivering a very specific request to the dealer. The flop came , not quite what Thomas had ordered, but enough to inspire a quick bet of 8,200 from him. His opponents both folded, and Thomas claimed the pot.

Buzgon Building

Mickey Doft

Dan Buzgon began the day with less than 20,000, but is having himself an excellent Day 2.

We caught him in a pot moments ago where he opened with a raise 4,500 from early position. He found two callers, one from middle position and one form the big blind, and they saw a flop. It was checked to Buzgon who bet 7,200, only getting called by the player in the big blind.
