Michael Kanaan has been on cruise control here on Day 2 of the 2012 APPT Melbourne Main Event. He recently eliminated a player to move above a six-figure stack.

Ted Nguyen started the day as the chip leader and can still claim that title, managing to recently eliminate Andrew Scott. The hand in question saw the two players get all the chips in preflop, with Scott holding

Wayne Bentley just came over to the PokerNews desk, and not without a reason. The British PokerStars Qualifier managed to hit quad sevens and his stack is now worth around 115,000. Bentley started the day with only 35,075, and his day has been perfect so far.
Danny Chevalier started the day with around the starting stack from Day 1, but has since seen that amount skyrocket. We recently watched Chevalier lead out for a bet of 8,000 on the river of

Dillon raised under the gun +2, and Wu moved all in from the big blind for his final 10,000 chips. The Irishman called with two kings and was up against . The board gave Wu a flush draw on the turn, but the river was a mere blank. Wu was send packing, and Celina Lin is the only Team PokerStars Pro remaining.
