Sunar Soaring
Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Henri Gregory Janin led out for 16,000 on a 
flop with about 50,000 already in the pot. A player that bought into Day 2 jammed for nearly 31,000 and Surinder Sunar called.
Janin went into the tank and used one of his time bank chips before he folded. Sunar held 
for top pair while his opponent held 
for a nut flush draw.
Sunar's opponent began to stand up even before the turn was dealt and left his seat after the 
came on the turn and the 
completed the board on the river.
Sunar's stack soared to around 400,000. Also at his table is Day 1b chip leader Orpen Kisacikoglu with a similar stack.

Knutsen in the Lead
Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Norway's Stian Knutsen appears to be the chip leader with the first break approaching with a massive stack of 650,000 in chips. We have seen him win many small pots but nothing big.
He stood up for a second so we asked him if there was anything big that we may have missed and he confirmed our suspicions that he has just been actively winning tons of small pots during the opening portion of Day 2.
