SportStar Boris Becker is one of the shorter stacks with just around his starting level of chips. He did pick up a pot off Team PokerStars Pro Henrique Pinho, both players had checked the flop but Becker fired out a 3,800 bet on the turn and forced the Portuguese pro to fold
We decided to check in with the respective chip leaders from Days 1a and 1b, Guy Bachar and Aku Joentausta. The former began the day with 193,100 and had run it up to 325,000 here on Day 2, while the latter has gone from 236,200 to 320,000.
Likewise, Bachar's brother, Ziv, who is seated one table over, has run his start-of-the-day stack of 130,000 up to 205,000. Meanwhile, PokerStars high-stakes play Terje "Terkn89" Augdal has been eliminated from the tournament.
Kyle Julius, runner-up from last season's PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, was involved in a four-way pot on the flop. The first two players checked and Julius bet 3,500. The player behind him called and the other two folded.

The €50,000 Super High Roller fourth-place finisher Irari "Ziigmund" Sahamies is running good in the Main Event as well. He just busted an EPT regular from Czech Republic Vojtech Ruzicka.
Sahamies raised to 2,800 from an early position and Ruzicka on the Finn's immediate left went all-in. Action folded back to Sahamies and he made the call. Ruzicka showed and Sahamies opened .
The board was no help for the Czech and he hit the rail.
