After the curious case of his stack disappearing during the dinner break, D.J. Mackinnon never became frazzled or frustrated, trusting that the situation would be equitably resolved.
Mackinnon persevered through the commotion to survive Day 1b, and weaved his way through Day 2 to make an appearance here today. Although he recently went bust, Mackinnon issued a postmortem tweet that showed he still has a sense of humor about the situation involving his missing stack:

Eugene Fouksman got the last of his stack in the middle holding 
, but he was quickly put at risk when Kunal Patel moved in over the top for the isolation move. Fouksman's jack kicker was in bad shape against Patel's 
, but when the flop rolled out

Fouksman shot of his chair and shouted at the sight of the dreaded three-outer, even though it had been a three-out shot that brought him back from the brink in the first place. Fouksman finished in 83rd place and earned a decent cash, but having to walk by the trophy he came to claim after a bad beat did not leave him looking satisfied with the result.

A short-stacked player on the button shoved over a raise from Harrison Gimbel in the hijack. It was 121,000 to call, and Gimbel thought for a bit before splashing some orange T1000 into the pot.

The board ran out 
, and Gimbel had busted the unfortunate shorty after outflopping him.

flop, and Chris Reslock made the call. Peter Hong, who had already checked, came out with 90,000. The bettor folded, and Reslock called. The turn brought a 
, and Hong checked. Reslock fired 150,000. Hong leaned back in his seat and thought for a couple of minutes before announcing that he was all in. Reslock asked for a rough count, but he folded quickly.
