blanked on the river.
Bulent Uzun under the gun and Nick Petrangelo in the big blind got their chips in before the flop. Petrangelo with the

. The flop came about as good as they could come for Petrangelo with 
. The 
on the turn ended matters for Uzun, despite the fact he had just hit his straight. The 
on the river was a blank and Uzun left the stage.
"That's What You Get For Being a Nit!" Petrangelo laughed, referring to himself; "You suck out!"
Matias Ruzzi checked and called 18,000 from Charlie Carrel on a 
flop. Rutzzi check-called 30,000 on the turn, though this time he took a couple of minutes of thought to do so. He checked a final time on the

Ole Schemion has chipped up nicely here on Day 2 and is one of the biggest stacks in the room. Schemion is currently located at the feature table, so our access to the wunderkind is limited.
