Jaffray Doubles Through Fitzpatrick

[user46392]

Brian Fitzpatrick had just got his paws on Ryan Welch's chips, when he gave all of them back to Alan Jaffray.

Fitzpatrick raised and, an incredibly sleepy looking Jaffray called from the small blind to see a {2-Hearts}

flop. Jaffray checked and Fitzpatrick bet 62,000. Jaffray strained to see the bet size, and, looking frankly unwell, announced that he was all in for a shade over 300,000. Fitzpatrick sighed and tanked... And eventually made the call.

Fitzpatrick: {3-Hearts}

Jaffray:

Turn:

River:

Jaffray didn't look any happier for winning the huge hand. I reckon it's past someone's bedtime...

Four Way Action at the Death

MarcC

In one of the last hands of the night, we had a very large pot emerge. Van Dung Nguyen pushed his last 145,000 in from UTG and was called by Benny Champlin on the button and Ali Davoudi in the small blind. Chris Roulier then moved in for 30,000 more. The bigger stacks called before they checked the {8-Clubs}

board down.

Van Dung Nguyen was eliminated with {A-?}

.
Benny Champlin loses with {7-Hearts}

.
Ali Davoudi has {A-Hearts}

and loses too.
Chris Roulier scoops the lot with {J-Hearts}

.

Day 2 Concludes; Let's All Get Some Sleep

[user46392]

Yup, it's an early 1pm start tomorrow in an effort to get all our remaining runners good and busted before the day is out. It has in fact been an incredibly fast day -- we did, after all, start with 270 runners. Nevertheless it has been a very long one, and the lucky gentlemen still in would do well to get all the sleep they can if they want to make final table tomorrow.

Notable folks who didn't make it today include Kara Scott, Humberto Brenes, Chris Moorman and Eric Liu. And not forgetting the impressive run by PokerNews' own field reporter Anthony Yeh, which ended in a 76th place finish.

Chip counts for our remaining 19 will appear as if by magic overnight; in the meantime, do get some rest...
