Cards are in the air for the start of Day 2.
Racing to the Money
Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
We've been hearing "Seat Open!" from the dealers like wildfire. It looks as if the field is already within one table of making the money.
Wilkerson Received Warning
Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Over on Table 429 Jordon Young opened for a large raise. Action was on Dylan Wilkerson in the big blind. Wilkerson was short-stacked and was tanking - with a sly smile.
The tournament floorman arrived, gave Wilkerson a 60 second countdown and then killed his hand when Wilkerson didn't act.
The floorman then gave Wilkerson a warning that if he purposely stalled when they reach hand-for-hand play he'll be given a penalty.
Wilkerson Has Second Clock Called
Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Dylan Wickerson had the clock called on him a second time. He was in late position and was stalling from an opening raise. Within the last 15 seconds he raised to 3,800 - leaving him just 300 behind.
Kellie Brown moved all in from the small blind and James Casey called from the big blind, having both of them covered.
Wickerson: 
Casey: 
Brown: 
The board ran 
and Wilkerson tripled up, Brown was eliminated and Casey won a small side pot.
Hand For Hand
Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
We've reached hand-for-hand play.
Count Verified
Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
On the same hand that Kellie Brown was eliminated Theo Dacruzlima was also knocked out at a different table. Dacruzlima also held pocket queens but lost to pocket sevens when the flop fell 
.
We're pretty sure Dacruzlima and Brown will split the payout but we're waiting from official word from the WSOP.
Frankeberger Nealy Doubles
Andy Frankenberger open-shoved his shortish stack and Joseph Kuether called behind him. The blinds released and Frankenberger said, "I don't like that you just called."
Frankenberger: 
Kuether: 
The board ran 
and Frankenberger took the pot. He had just a few hundred more than Kuether.
