Players are now on a 15-minute break.
Marko Pantelic, who came into Day 2 as the overall chip leader, has held his ground in the first two levels of play, and he's still working with plenty of chips at the 440,000 mark.
A recent pot saw Ubaid Habib check from the big blind on a ![]()
![]()
![]()
board, into Pantelic in early position. With more than 60,000 in the pot, Pantelic bet 45,000, and Habib tanked for a couple of minutes, then folded.

Jeff Griffiths opened to 5,000 from under the gun, Dann Turner called on the button, and Dapo Ajayi called in the big blind.
Ajayi checked, and Griffiths bet 13,000 on the ![]()
![]()
flop. Both Turner and Ajayi called.
Ajayi then led out all in for his last 45,000 on the
turn, Griffiths folded, and Turner took a few seconds to contemplate his next move.
"I faded the snap call!" exclaimed an excited Ajayi as Turner thought things over. Turner eventually decided on a fold, and Ajayi showed ![]()
for the flush as he took in the pot.
