Time To Get Ill
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Layne Flack told the PokerNews crew he was feeling a little under the weather as play began today.
Well, the six-time WSOP bracelet winner must be feeling even more sick after a tough start to the day.
With his stack already dwindling we caught Flack making a 3,300 chip open from late position only to be snap called by a short stack on the button.
After the 
flop, Flack checked, the Button threw out a 5k chip and with a sick look on his mug, Flack folded.

Number of Entrants Made Official
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 100 ante
We don't have the official prize pool information yet, but we can tell you that a couple dozen players entered the tournament today. They brought the number up to 978 total players.
Top Pair Good?
Chris Tiller came in to Day 2 with a healthy lead, but it's slowly slipping out of his grasp.
He's only played a few hands, but seems to have been on the losing end of just about every one.
Moments ago we caught him heads-up in a pot on a 
flop with about 10k in the middle. His opponent, directly on his right, shipped in for about 30k total and Tiller went into the tank.
He emerged folding, showing the for top pair. His opponent showed the 
and while Tiller is down under 150k now, it appears it could have been a lot worse.

Nguyen Nguyening
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 100 ante
Men "The Master" Nguyen is not an easy guy to ignore, coupled by the fact his table is front of our desk and his signature table talk. We found him in a pot with three other players where they checked all the way to the river. The board showed 
and Nguyen put 10,000 on the river. One opponent called and quickly mucked when Nguyen tabled 
for the nut flush and an open-ended straight flush draw on the flop.

The Wright Stuff
San Antonio's Larry Wright has had about as good a start as one can have here on Day 2.
He began play with a little over 40k, but after turning a flush and getting it in against a set of fives, then having his own pair of fives hold up against big slick, he finds himself on the top of the leaderboard, sitting on almost 170k.

Lagtard
Tommy Vedes continues to mix it up here at the Choctaw Casino, now up around 120k.
We recently caught him calling a late position pre-flop raise by Ben Logan while sitting in the small blind.
He check-called another 4,600 after the 
flop, but when the 
turn fell, both players checked.
Vedes took the lead on the 
river, making it 13,200 to have a look at his holdings, but Logan wasn't up to the task, laying it down and leaving the pot to Tommy.

Sanders Nearly Triples His Returning Stack
Michael Sanders returned today with a stack of 56,000 and we found him sitting on around 140,000. Sanders told us that he gained most of the chips in a blind vs. blind, all-in preflop battle where he held pocket sevens. He said "I dodged a ton of outs and took nearly a 100,000 chip pot."
His opponent held 
and the flop came 
with two diamonds. The turn paired the board with another nine, but then bricked on the river with a black three.
