He is off to a nice start on Day 2 and just won a post against Jack Schanbacher.
A player in early position opened to 1,800 and was called by Schanbacher in the hijack and Cutler in the big blind.
The flop fell and Cutler led out for 3,300. Only Schanbacher called to see the
turn which both checked. The

Tim Faro ended Day 1b with the biggest stack among those who played the evening session, and a top ten stack overall. He's added a few more in the early going on Day 2, having chipped up to around 115,000.
Our attention was drawn to Faro's table just now following an all-in confrontation between himself and the player to his left. Faro had , his opponent
, and the result was a chopped pot.
It would seem a fairly unremarkable hand but for the animated conversation going on between the pair. Their talk became heated enough for the floor to be called, and eventually Faro's opponent given a one-round penalty after he refused to heed the warning to be quiet.
Meanwhile Faro has kept his seat, continuing to accumulate chips amid a quieter setting.

"Miami" John Cernuto began the day with one of the shortest stacks among the 322 returners (plus those who re-entered at the start of Day 2). After subsisting quietly for the first level-and-a-half today, Cernuto saw fit to commit his final 3,700 from the cutoff with and got a single caller sitting on the button with
.
The flop came to give Cernuto's opponent trip aces, and after the
turn and
river, Cernuto was eliminated. It has still been a decent week for Cernuto here at Harrah's Resort Atlantic City, as he won the earlier Event #8 ($365 Limit Omaha Eight or Better) for a $13,461 score.

Action folded to Vinny Pahuja in the cutoff and he opened to 2,000. The player on the button re-raised to 5,700, David Diaz and Dwyte Pilgrim gave up their blinds, and action was back on Pahuja.
After about 30 seconds, he re-raised all in for about 30,000. His opponent quickly folded and Pahuja took down the pot. He is down on the day, but is certainly looking to turn things around.

Victor Ramdin's tourney run has ended in unfortunate fashion here near the end of Level 11.
We came upon the hand as the river card was being dealt, with Ramdin all in with from the button versus the small blind's

But the river brought the and a full house for Ramdin's opponent, and Ramdin leaves us early on Day 2.
