Lawrence Jacobs got his last ~70,000 chips into the pot with 
, and he was in fine shape as Steve Brecher came along with the 
. The 
flop was a relief to Jacobs, and the turn 
locked up his double. He's back to 140,000 after making kings full, and Brecher falls back to about 80,000.
On a 
flop, action checked to Kunal Patel, and he made a bet of 7,500. Lawrence Jacobs check-raised to 21,000, and Steve Brecher reraised all in for 73,600 behind him. That put the action back on Patel, and he called all in for 60,000, forcing Jacobs to lay his hand down.
Showdown
Brecher: 
Patel: 
Patel was well in front, and he was pleased to hear that Jacobs also folded ace-ten. The turn 
and river kept his kings safe, and he's doubled up to 172,000.
It's the second consecutive double that Brecher has donated, and this one cripples him all the way down to just 6,800 lonely chips.
Steve Brecher could manage just one double before succumbing to this Day 2.
With 14,800 chips left, he open-shoved with 
from the cutoff seat, and AJ Jejelowo called him down with 
from the next seat over. Brecher wishes boards were only four cards deep as it came 
... 
to seal his fate.
All is not lost for Brecher, though, and we'll see him next weekend at the WSOP-C National Championship thanks to his fourth-place finish at the Western Regional Championship in March.
AJ Jejelowo completed from the small blind, and Kunal Patel knocked the table for a free flop from the big.
The flop came 
, and Patel called a bet of 4,000. He called another 9,000 after the turn, and another 30,000 behind the 
river. He had 
for two pair, but Jejelowo had run him down on the river with .
The better kings-up moves Jejelowo up to about 300,000, slipping Patel back to about 152,000.
That's another level in the books, and the players are off for a 10-minute break.

A quick little tidbit as play resumes. We've lost six players today, and they've all fallen from Table 2. Now you know.
First in from the cutoff seat, AJ Jejelowo opened to 7,000, and he called a 19,000-chip three-bet from Kunal Patel.
Heads-up, the 
flop drew checks from both players, and Jejelowo led out with 30,000 on the 
turn. Patel called, and the river went check-check again.
Jejelowo turned up 
, and eights and sevens earn him the pot to move his stack to 310,000.
Patel is getting a bit short now with 102,000 chips left.
