Conway Calls

Mark Conway and Erkut Yilmaz were heads up on a board of {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. Yilmaz checked, Conway fired 35,000, and Yilmaz slid out a stack of blue T5,000 chips, check-raising to 100,000.

Conway leaned forward in his chair and studied Yilmaz who sat stone-like. Conway cut out enough chips to make the call, examined the board one last time, then committed them.

Yilmaz turned his cards over one at a time. First, we saw the {q-Spades}. The came the {3-Diamonds}.

Conway flipped over {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for a straight, and raked in the large pot.

Two Hands Before Dinner

On one table, Christopher Bonita was all in and at risk holding {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} on a board of {10-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs}. John Song had him at risk holding {q-Spades}{j-Spades}, but bricked on the turn ({3-Diamonds}) and the river ({6-Hearts}).

Bonita doubled to around 165,000.

On an adjacent table, Mark Jones was eliminated. He moved all in preflop over a raise from Cary Marshall. Marshall was committed and called with {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, which was actually racing against Jones' {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. The board came {7-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, and Jones was eliminated.

The players are now on a 60-minute dinner break.

Another Chip Leader Takes a Hit

It seems like every player that has grabbed the chip lead here on Day 2 has taken a big hit to their stack after doing so. Mark Bonsack was one of the first players to cross the 400,000-chip threshold, but after running kings into aces preflop he's now down to 190,000.

Sharon Helldorfer, the benefactor, now has around 440,000 chips after her {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} held on a board of {6-Spades}{4-Spades}{6-Hearts}{q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}.
