Josh Lowing Leads Final 36 into Day 2 at Lawrenceburg HPO
Welcome to Day 2 of the HPO Lawrenceburg Main Event. With 81 entries on Saturday and 149 entries on Sunday, the Lawrenceburg regional stop to start Season 4 generated a prize pool of $229,000.
Josh Lowing comes into Day 2 as the chip leader, having accumulated a massive stack of 326,500 on Friday’s Day 1a. Lowing will have some tough competition as tour regular Jared Palmer took the Day 1b chip lead with active, but disciplined play during Saturday's second flight. Palmer is stacked at 306,500 and is followed closely by another tour regular, Nick Guagenti (257,500) and tournament force Keven Stammen (244,500). Stammen picked his battles late on Day 1b with another big stack and tablemate Michael Filippidis, who bagged a stout 293,500.
Joby Houck (103,500) is another notable who apparently could not get enough poker, as he entered and won Saturday's Event #29, where Lowing was also a final table participant, finishing in third. Houck headed for some pillow time fully confident that the win vaulted him into the early HPO regional leaderboard lead.
A total of 36 runners advanced and 27 of them will be paid for their efforts. The top prize is $54,956 in cash + a seat in June’s HPO $2,500 Championship Main Event at the M Resort in Las Vegas.
The chase for the title starts at 12:15 p.m. local time, so stay tuned as we will bring you live reporting down to the finish.

Lowing Takes Early Hit
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Josh Lowing was in good shape to start out hot after calling a preflop all in from Matt Hils holding pocket jacks. Hils needed help for his king-jack and two kings came on the flop to keep Hils kicking. The case jack did not come and Hils got the early double.

Williams Too Much for Filippidis
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Michael Filippidis raised to 7,000 from middle position and TM Williams three-bet to 16,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Filippidis and he would four-bet to 37,000. Williams fived it to 116,000 and Filippidis quickly moved all in. Williams snap-called and tabled 
to the 
of Filippidis.
The flop was 
and the 
came on the turn. Filippidis couldn't find a king on the 
river and Williams jumped to the chip lead.

Stammen Ducks Overs
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Sean Loring got it all in preflop with 
versus the pocket deuces of Keven Stammen. The board completed 
and Stammen's ducks held, sending Loring to the rail short of the money.

Palmer Prophetic in Dispatching Dent
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Shawn Dent raised to 8,000 from the button and Jared Palmer announced "all in", from the small blind. Palmer had approximately 45,000 total and, as he was contemplating, Palmer said "this is going to be one for the ages, get out your notebook". Dent eventually made the call and tabled 
. Palmer turned over 
and found a pair on the 
flop.
The 
turn kept Dent good, but the 
on the river sent him packing.
