Sean Winter, who had just doubled up Nick Jivkov, opened for 16,000 only to have Christopher Riley three-bet all in for 148,000 from the big blind. Winter, who had him covered by a bit, made the call.
Winter: 
Riley: 
It was a classic flip, and one that would come down in Winter's favor as the board ran out 
. Winter chipped back up to 370,000 while Riley exited in 55th place.
World Series of Poker bracelet winner Nick Jivkov has been on a bit of a heater as of late and just texted us his latest double. Here's what he had to say:
"The double up... Folded to the young kid to my right [Sean Winter] who was the small blind with a huge stack. He made it 15,000. I looked at 
in the big blind and I three-bet to 46,000 expecting a fold or a ship with a marginal hand. He four-bet hammed and I called for 240,000 total. 480,000 pot preflop. He opened 
. Board ran out 
."

Players are now on another 15-minute break.
Robert Panitch has recently doubled through Daniel Lowery in a massive, 700,000-chip pot, leaving Lowery with 450,000 chips.
Unfortunately, we were unable to pry any information out of Claudia Crawford or Tripp Kirk who are both sitting at the table about the hand.
Eli Loewenthal played and ran well all day yesterday, but a big hand here on Day 2 has reversed his fortune.
It began when he raised preflop and received a call from Corrie Wunstel in the big blind. The flop saw Wunstel check and Loewenthal took the opportunity to continue for approximately 13,000. Wunstel then woke up with a check-raise to 25,000, Loewenthal called and the dealer burned and turned the 
.
From there, Wunstel bet 55,000, Loewenthal called and the completed the board on the river. Again Wunstel bet, this time a hefty 110,000, and Loewenthal thought for several minutes before dropping in a call. Wunstel tabled the 
for aces and deuces, which was good as Loewenthal simply sent his hand to the muck.
A short-stacked Ralph Massey moved all in preflop holding 
, and Jerry Barlow woke up with in the big blinds. The eights held up, and Massey hit the rail.
At an adjacent table, Pavlin Karakikov was all in and at risk with 
against Benjamin Reason's 
. The dealer fanned 
, giving the young Reason quad nines, and it was all over when the 
turned. A meaningless 
completed the board, and Karakikov hit the rail.
Reason now has just shy of 400,000 chips.
