Continuing his recent rush, chip leader Paul Nash raised to 7,500 from early position and watched as Bernard Lee shoved all-in for approximately 50,000. Perhaps emboldened by his hot streak, Nash made the call and flipped up 
. He found himself flipping a coin with Lee, who held 
, and the coin landed in his favor when an spiked on the river.
Lee had been grinding his short stack throughout this Day 2, displaying the patience and strategic fundamentals which define professional play. As is so often the case in the cruel game of poker, all of Lee's hard work was dashed with the turn of a river card. He exited the tournament area holding his face in his hands, the pain evident in his expression, while Nash simply stacked his chips and smiled.
