Just before the break, action folded to Joey Lawrence in the cutoff and he raised to 4,000, which Dominykas Karmazinas three-bet to 10,900 from the big blind. Not to be outdone, Lawrence pushed back with a four-bet to 18,000, which was enough to take down the pot.
It wasn't much, but a good excuse to update you on their stacks.

JC Tran has been nursing his short stack for a long while now, and he's finally found a double to claw back into the mix. It looked like Tran was on the button when he got the last 20,700 of his chips into the middle preflop with 
. His next-door neighbor figured 
was good enough to go with, and his chips put Tran five cards from the double.
The 
flop was just what Dr. Tran ordered, but the 
turn did give him a little sweat. He needed to fade the four-outer, and the river 
was safe enough.
Tran's back up around 45,000 chips now, just a double away from the chip average.

From the hijack, Tom Grigg came in raising to 3,400, and Jason Mercier three-bet small to 6,100 total. Grigg shoved in on him with

The flop came 
, a swing and a miss for Mercier, and he'd not be able to catch up to Grigg's snowmen. The 
and 
filled out the board, and it's sent Mercier to the exit here in the middle of Day 2.
