A short-stacked Tom Grigg moved all in from early position for his last 30,000 and received a call from Man Hei Lam in the small blind. Grigg held 
and was in bad shape against the 
of Hei Lam... that is until the flop came down 
.
"How come I only get lucky when I have less than eight big blinds?" Grigg asked with a laugh. "This is like the fourth time this tournament. I get short and then I get lucky." Not only did he get lucky, he got the double as neither the turn nor 
river helped Hei Lam.

Gary Benson just tanked for, what it seemed like, an eternity. The board read 
when Kenny Wong put out a hefty bet worth around 100,000. Benson took his time and thought about it for almost seven minutes. One of the players finally called the clock and Benson folded in the dying seconds of his final minute.
Wong didn't show his cards and is now up to 450,000 chips.

Adam Carlton opened for 8,800 under the gun and was met by a three-bet to 35,000 from Dan Shak, who was sitting to his immediate left. Action folded back around to Carlton and he eyed up Shak's remaining stack of 95,500 before announcing that he was all in. Shak snap-called and it was off to the races.
Carlton: 
Shak:
Neither remained focused on the board as the dealer put down the 
flop. It was safe for Shak, as was the turn. All he needed to do was dodge an ace and king on the river to double, and that's just what he did as the harmless 
reared it's head.
Meanwhile, Dejan Pustoslemsek, who had been nursing a short stack the majority of Day 2, has been eliminated from the tournament.

First all, the title above was "Jay Tan approved."
"You should keep it, I think it's hilarious," Tan said after seeing what your reporter was writing about her boyfriend.
Kenny Wong finished second last year to Oliver Speidel and took home a cool million Australian dollars. This year's doing very well on Day 2 with good chances to make another deep run. We just watched Wong take another good nice pot which bumped his stack over the 300,000-chip mark.
We saw that Wong had put in a re-raise to 25,000 and David Tan was his only caller. The other preflop action was unknown to us.
The flop brought out 
and both players checked. On the turn the 
hit and Yan bet 45,000, Wong called. The river brought the 
and Yan check-folded to a 40,000-chip bet. Wong is doing great and the third day seems to be within reach.
