Brett Jungblut Eliminated
Former crew member Brett Jungblut has become one of the early victims of Day 2. Jungblut was all in on 3rd street against Jason Yano and Trung Ly. The players showed:

Jungblut: (X) (X) {4-?} {Q-?} {2-?} {K-?} (X)
Yano: (X) (X) {6-?} {5-?} {3-?} {7-?} (X)
Ly: ({K-?}) ({6-?}) {A-?} {4-?} {3-?} {2-?} ({5-?})

Ly had the wheel and Jungblut mucked.

Cyndy Violette Eliminated

Cyndy Violette was the latest player to say goodbye. After a series of raises, Violette was all in on 3rd street. Violette showed (X) (X) {4-?} {9-?} {6-?} {K-?} (X) but couldn't beat her opponent's {8-?} {6-?} {4-?} {2-?} {A-?}. Violette mucked and headed for the exit.

Nikolay Evdakov Gives Up Some Chips

Nikolay Evdakov and Larry Kantor just tangled in a pot in which Evdakov check-called a bet on every street till the river. After checking his river card, Evdakov open-mucked his hand and Kantor took down the pot. Kantor is up to 13,600 while Evdakov slides to about 1,800 chips.

Jon Turner Gets Unpleasant Introduction to the F-Train

Jon "PearlJammer" Turner and Dave "F-Train" Behr just played a heads-up pot that had Behr betting every street with Turner calling the whole way down. By the river, the players showed:

Behr: (X) (X) {A-?} {6-?} {2-?} {8-?} (X)
Turner: (X) (X) {5-?} {7-?} {Q-?} {8-?} (X)

Facing Behr's river bet, Turner said "you've got 8-6 and I've got 8-7 but I have to call." Turner indeed called. He wasn't shown 8-6, but rather Behr's {6-?} {5-?} {3-?} {2-?} {A-?}.
