AaronMcBride

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Mitja Rudolf started Day 2 in the best possible way when he won the Crazy Pineapple Flip Out for a Platinum Pass worth $30,000. Randy Izaak Bakker was also in the final eight of the flip out and had a shot at the Platinum pass but wasn't as lucky as Rudolf.

These two players are now sat next to each other and had a small battle. Rudolf had raised from under the gun and seen Bakker called in the big blind. After they flop had come down , Bakker decided to check-raise a bet from Rudolf and took down the pot after the former let his hand go.

Both have chipped up over the last few levels and sit on around the 900,000 each.
