Wisconsin poker player, John Orr, has had a heck of a day so far. He began Day 2 with a healthy stack of 200,000, but quickly built that up to 375,000 after a set-over-set situation where his jacks defeated an opponent's tens. However, Orr couldn't hold onto those chips as he later lost with 
against 
.
Orr didn't stop there as he soon flopped a set of sevens and took down a nice pot off an opponent with 
. Orr is sitting pretty right now with 390,000 in chips.

Literally dozens of players have been eliminated here in the first level of Day 2, and one of them was Will "Monkey" Souther, who began the day on a short stack.
As he explained via Twitter: "Busto. Pick up 3 pots on 1st orbit to go to 50k. C/o raise, button call, i jam AKs in SB. BB snaps with JJ. Q-J-Q-K-2. Bye Chicago."

Matt Lawrence got his stack of 69,500 all in preflop with 
and was up against the 
of his opponent. It was a classic race, with last year's National Championship qualifier at risk. Such situations are usually pretty stressful for players, so we're sure Lawrence was relieved to see a third queen appear on the 

flop. The
turn and
river changed nothing, and Lawrence doubled to a healthy 150,000.

"I'm in really bad shape," we heard Chad Brown say a couple tables away. We made our way over to discover he had called an opponent's pre flop all-in bet of 23,500 with 
and was up against 
on a 

flop. Neither the
turn nor
river helped Brown, and he was knocked down to 60K.

"The Captain" Tom Franklin opened for 8,000 and John Ross popped it to 22,500 from the button. Action folded back around to Franklin and he called. The flop fell
and they both checked. The turn came
and they checked to the
river. Franklin checked a third time and Ross threw out 29,000. Franklin sat for a moment before mucking his hand.

As we alluded too a few moments ago, players are busting pretty quickly. Eight tables have already broken with less than an hour into the day.
