Flack Bleeding Chips

Nicolas Cardyn opened to 3,500 from under-the-gun and was called by Layne Flack in the hijack position. Action folded over to Brian Morris in the big blind, who went all in for his last 11,400. Cardyn folded but Flack made the call to put him at risk.

Flack: {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Morris: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Spades} board failed to improve Flack's hand and Morris doubled through him, knocking Flack down to 50,000.

Giannetti Folds to Racener's Pressure

We caught up with the action on a {J-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} board. Matthew Giannetti had a 12,000 bet in front of him and his lone opponent, John Racener, appeared to have moved all in for his last 35,000 from the hijack position.

Giannetti fell hard into the tank, but eventually slid his hand into the muck. Racener scooped the sizable pot and is now sitting on 81,000.

Kelly On a Roll

JP Kelly came into Day 2 with just over 35,000 chips, but has run them up quite nicely since the day began.

In a recent hand, Matthew Schwarmann opened to 3,500 from the button and JP Kelly eyed his stack from the button and raised enough to put Schwarmann all in. Schwarmann gave his hand up without a fight and Kelly scooped the pot.

Kelly is up to 135,000 following the hand.

Shorr With a Lot More...Chips

Shannon Shorr has chipped up very nicely this level and is currently sitting on 140,000, which is almost triple what he had earlier today.

In a recent hand, Khalid Zoudo opened to 4,500 from the hijack and was three-bet to 11,000 by Shannon Shorr on the button. Zoudo made the call to see a flop, which came {Q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{J-Hearts}.

Zoudo riffled his chips several times and opted to check. Shorr didn't take long to fire a modest 7,000 into the pot. It was enough, however, as Zoudo released his hand - conceding the pot to Shorr.

Shak Ships His Stack

Dan Shak opened to 5,500 from early position and found one caller in Carlos Sanchez-Vegas.

Both players checked the {6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} flop, however, Sanchez-Vegas would lead out when the {5-Diamonds} fell on the turn. Shak responded by immediately announcing he was all in for about 50,000 total. Sanchez-Vegas thought it over and landed on a fold.

Shak is up to 73,000.
