Welcome Back to Moving Day
![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Well good afternoon poker world, and welcome back for Day 2 of the $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em funfest.
What began with 654 players is now just a shadow of its former self; a paltry 65 runners survived to see this second day dawn. James "Flushy" Dempsey is the chip daddy heading into play, amassing a huge stack of 205,900. Former Main Event finalist Scott Montgomery is hot on his heels with just under 200,000 though, and there are still plenty of dangerous players in contention to strike.
We're all set for a 2:30 p.m. start, just about 15 minutes from now. Our view from the perch in the Amazon Room is a good one to bring you all of the action, and we promise you an exciting day of cards as we press on towards the final table.
We'll be right back with you as soon as we see some players start to file in.
Just About Time
The bracelet ceremonies for the last couple days are being conducted in the far corner of the Amazon Room right now, and we're currently listening to a rousing rendition of "Oh Canada" in honor of Aadam Daya's bracelet in Event #3.
We've still got a couple more presentations and songs to get through, but it looks like we're going to go ahead and get rolling over here in the Red section. The players are in their seats, the bags are being ripped open, and the chips are being emptied onto the felt.
We should be ready to rock momentarily.
Level: 11
Blinds: 800/1,600
Ante: 0
Aaaaaand They're Off!
We're under way here on Day 2, and we're playing hand-for-hand to start things out. The money bubble lurks very near as we're just two knockouts away from hitting that magical number.
Here we go!
Smith Summoning the Short-Stack Gods
Bil Smith is seated directly in front of us on one of the Amazon Room's new featured tables, and he's come into the day as the shortest stack left. Just before the cards went into the air. Smith came over to tell us his game plan.
"You guys see this?" he asked, pointing at his chips. "I got two big blinds, and I'm in the big blind to start. This is going to be one of the biggest comebacks in the history of the World Series. I want you to remember this when they put that bracelet on my wrist!"
We've duly noted Smith's prophecy, and he's made it through the first hand without busting. Smith folded queen-deuce to a raise on the first hand of the day.
No players were eliminated, and everyone's on Hand #2 now.
Smith Sitting Still
Bil Smith has folded his first three hands of the day, and he's got 900 of his starting chips left. With no antes in play, he can theoretically fold all the way around until the big blind hits him again, and that appears to be what he intends to do.
We're on Hand #4 of the day and still two eliminations from the money.
"This could go a while," James Dempsey astutely noted as he stood up to wander around in between hands.
Coburn Gets it In
Under the gun, Jason Potter raised to 3,400, and Raymond Coburn moved all in for 13,700 from the hijack seat. Potter muttered, "Don't know if I can fold," and he called for about half his remaining stack. With that, the cards were on their backs:
Potter: 
Coburn: 
The board came 
, and Coburn has doubled his way up close to 30,000, sliding Potter down to 17,500.
Another Shorty Double
Clark Hamagami raised to 3,500 before Steve "copy and paste" Chanthabouasy potted it up to 12,300. Hamagami moved all in, and his opponent called off his last few thousand chips to put himself in jeopardy.
Showdown
Hamagami: 
Chanthabouasy: 
There was no funny stuff on a clean board of 
, and Chanthabouasy doubles his way up to about 33,000. Hamagami is still left with 52,000.
We still have 65 players left.
