David "Bakes" Baker is the defending champion of this event, and he's the Day 2 chipleader right now.

We didn't see the hand play out, but Bakes just took care of the rest of Farzad Bonyadi's short stack to send him to the exit. With the pot, Bakes climbs back atop the pack with 176,000.

Harman's Stack Continues to Grow

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 300 ante

From under the gun David Williams made it 4,000 and was called by Bertrand Grospellier in the cutoff. Jennifer Harman made it 12,500 to go from the small blind. Williams made the call but ElkY decided to bow out.

Harman stood pat while Williams drew one. The action went check check and Harman tabled {9-}{8-}{7-}{4-}{2-}. Williams announced that he paired deuces and mucked.

Harman is sitting pretty around 147,000 while Williams was knocked down to 51,000.

"Must Be Nice, Buddy"

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 300 ante

David Williams raised to 4,000 from early position and was called by Mercier from the hijack and Phil Hellmuth from the small blind. Hellmuth drew one, Williams took two, and after drawing one, Mercier tossed out a bet of 6,800.

"Must be nice, buddy" Hellmuth said as he sent his cards into the muck. Williams made the call but was behind the {10-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{3-} of Mercier. This pot boosts Mercier's stack up to 100,000 while sending Williams down to 44,000

Cassidy Dusts Deeb

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 300 ante

We missed most of the hand, but a big pot just went from Shaun Deeb to Joe Cassidy. There was more than 100,000 in the pot when we saw Cassidy table {7-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-}, and a frustrated Deeb smacked his cards onto the felt face-down. We think he said he had {9-}{8-}{7-}{3-}{2-}, but that's just conjecture. Either way, his hand was second-best, and Cassidy climbs to about 145,000 courtesy of that pot.

Deeb is left with just about 12,000 now.

Two Black Nines

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 300 ante

From the button Nikolay Evdakov made it 3,500. Phil Hellmuth three-bet from the big blind up to 10,000 and Evdakov made the call. Both players drew one card and Hellmuth checked to Evdakov. Evdakov fired out 8,000 and Hellmuth called.

Evdakov showed {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} to Hellmuth, saying "I drew your hand!". Hellmuth showed an ace and it was good enough to beat Evdakov's pair of nines.

Evdakov Falls

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 300 ante

Well, the table of awesome has lost its first player.

Nikolay Evdakov opened to 9,700 under the gun, and it was all he had left. David Williams called from the small blind, and he patted his {j-}{10-}{8-}{5-}{4-}. Evdakov needed to draw one, showing up {8-}{7-}{6-}{3-}... {7-} to send him to the rail.

Williams is up to about 46,000 now.

Lisandro Hits the Rail

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 300 ante

Jeffrey Lisandro tossed out a raise from under the gun and Brandon Cantu made it 9,800 to go from the small blind. Lisandro re-raised all in for 25,600 more and Cantu made the call.

Cantu stood pat and tabled {9-}{8-}{5-}{4-}{3-}. Lisandro drew one, though, showing {7-}{6-}{3-}{2-} but was unable to catch up when he flipped up a {10-}. This pot boosts Cantu up to around 133,000 in chips.
