Tough Table
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 0 ante
One of the most interesting tables in the room #295. Currently seated there are McLean Karr, Isaac Haxton, Eric Baldwin, Shawn Buchanan, Nicolas Levi, Darryll Fish, and Sorel Mizzi. Ty Reiman also started at that table before being bust and replaced by Steve Billarakis.
In a recent hand, Karr and Haxton tangled on a board reading 
. With about 5,600 in the pot, Karr check-called a bet of 4,000 from Haxton, leading to the 
on the river. Again Karr check-called a bet, this time 10,500, and Haxton showed 
. However, Karr rolled over 
for trips and the winning hand.
Karr is up to 150,000 while Haxton dropped to 60,000.

Not-So-Lucky Chewy
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 0 ante
We didn't catch the hand, but we got to the table just in time to see Andrew Lichtenberger collect his things and make his way from the tournament area. His elimination came at the hands of Team PokerStars Pro (Canada) Pat Pezzin, who is now sitting with around 100,000 in chips.
Chiu vs. Schwartz
With around 25,000 in the pot and a board reading 
, David Chiu checked to his sole opponent, Noah Schwartz. The latter fired out a bet of 20,500, leaving himself just over 10,000 behind. Chiu tanked long and hard before conceding the hand.
Schwartz has position on Chiu and we imagine he'll be terrorizing him all day long.

On the first hand of play, before all players had taken their seats Hoyt Corkins and George Lind wasted no time getting it in. Toby Lewis opened for 2,300, Lind called from the button and Corkins raised to 6,500. Lewis got of the way and Lind called again.
The flop came 
and Corkins potted for 16,300. Lind moved all in and Corkins called.

The board finished and Lind's Day 2 was over in one hand. Corkins is at 85,000.
