We came in on the river where the board read 
Alexander Wice in the big blind checked, and Joseph Ebanks bet 52,000. Wice moved all in for a total of 159,500 and Ebanks made the call.
Wice flipped over 
for a rivered full house and Ebanks pushed Wice the chips as he threw away his 
straight (the nuts on the turn}.
Wice has 340,000 and Ebanks is left with 190,000

John Kim lost most of his stack in a hand against Efren Garcia. We aren't sure when the money went in, but the board read 
and Kim's 
had been rivered by Garcia's 
.
Kim was left with 6,000 in chips and on the next hand, Gregory Dyer raised to 7,500 from the cutoff and Anthony Spinella re-raised to 22,000 from the small blind. Kim, who was in the big blind, tossed his last few chips into the pot and Dyer called the 22,000 to start a sidepot.
The flop came 
, Spinella bet 15,000 and Dyer called. Both players checked when the 
hit on the turn and the 
came on the river. Spinella said "ace high" but mucked his hand when Dyer showed the 
for a pair of queens. Kim mucked his hand as well and he was eliminated from the tournament.
Spinella must have recently won a large pot because even after losing some chips in this hand he still has a massive stack in front of him.

James Calderaro has been one of the shorter stacks during the last few levels, but he certainly seems to be enjoying himself. He just ordered a shot of tequila for himself and a couple other players in the tournament. With only 38 players remaining it's nice to see a little fun amongst all the serious faces.
We'll let you know if anyone gets up on the table to do the Pee-Wee Herman dance.
Joseph Ebanks fired 35,000 on the 
board and Jeff Papola made the call. The river completed the board with the 
and Ebanks fired 75,000 with about 170,000 behind. Papola thought and then moved all in, putting Ebanks to the test. Ebanks tanked for a bit and then tossed his hand away, but didn't look too happy to do so. Papola won the pot and now has 780,000 in chips.
Bryan Colin raised from the button to 8,500 and Marvin Rettenmaier reraised from the small blind to 23,500. Colin wasn't having any of that and made it 63,500 to go. Rettenmaier gave it up and Colin stacked the chips. He's up to about 460,000 now.
Gregory Dyer just made a huge double up against overnight chip leader Anthony Spinella.
Dyer on the button raised it preflop to 10,000, the small blind called and Spinella in the big blind made it 36,500 to go. Dyer re-raised to 86,500 and the small blind got out of the way. Spinella re-raised all in and he got a snap call from Dyer.
Dyer flipped over 
to have Spinella's 
dominated. The board ran out harmless for Dyer and he doubled up and crippled Spinella.
Spinella was left with 200,000 (less than he started Day 2 with) and Dyer shot up to 557,000.
