The Short Stack Staying Alive
Jared Jaffee Out in 23rd place
22 players remain.
Bill Gazes Eliminated in 24th Place
Showdown:
Gazes:
Yamron:
The board frowned on Gazes, running out . With that, our start-of-day chip leader has stunningly been eliminated from the field here in the middle of Day 2. Gazes had trouble getting his big stack moving this afternoon, being chipped down a bit in the early going, with his decline culminating in that crippling confrontation with Allen Bari.
Allen Bari Wins Monster Hand Against Bill Gazes
Gazes went into deep thought before making the call, only to see Bari flip over for a set. Gazes mucked and is now down to 12,000.
Allen Bari is the overwhelming chip leader with 550,000.
Brock Parker Eliminated in 25th Place
Phillip Reed is now sitting with about 210,000
Michael Dean McCray Eliminated in 26th Place
McShowdown:
McLaughlin:
McCray:
The flop was certainly a sweat for both players as it came out . McCray had stormed into the lead, but he still had to dodge a bunch of outs with two cards to come. The turn was a safe for him. Much to his dismay though, fifth street brought the dooming , allowing McLaughlin to re-take the lead and win the pot. When the chips were counted down, it was very close, but McCray was covered by just a couple thousand. With that, Michael Dean McCray becomes our 26th-place finisher.
Robert McLaughlin, on the other hand, has more than doubled up, sitting now on a stack of 160,000.
Dave Cubeta Eliminated in 27th Place
26 players remain.
