Adrien Allain started the action with a raise to 1,700, and a middle position player called. Tony Gregg, who had just been moved to the table, was in the cutoff, and he put out a three bet to 3,700. Allain was the lone caller, and the flop came down 
. Allain checked to Gregg, who kept the pressure on with a bet of 3,300. Allain tossed it in, and the hit the turn. Allain checked again, and Gregg kept firing, this time for 8,000.
Allain took the hint and folded his hand, giving the pot to Gregg, who was down on the day before that pot. After taking that hand down, he is back up to his starting stack of the day, sitting on 47,000.

We didn't see where he got all the chips, but Adam Friedman now has a lot of them. We asked Friedman if there was a certain hand where he picked up a lot of chips and he relayed to us a hand where after a raise and a call he flatted with 
from the big blind. The flop came down 
and Friedman check-called a bet to see the 
pair the board on the turn. After checking around again the river came an off suit 
and Friedman said he fired 15,000 into a pot of about 9,000. He got a call and picked up the relatively large pot for this stage of Day 2. Currently, Friedman is close to breaching the 200,000 mark, but he'll have to pick up a few more pots before he does.
A couple of tables over, we caught Ray Romano involved in a very small hand. After a raise from the small blind, Romano called from the big. The flop came down 
and the player in the small blind checked. Romano bet 1,500 and after just a few seconds his opponent folded. Romano showed a 
for top pair as he scooped the pot. With that, Romano was able to push himself very close to 90,000 chips which is a good spot to be here on Day 2.

Not long before we witnessed this hand, Mike Matusow mentioned to us that he was having a hard time waking up. Maybe this hand is just what he needed.
Matusow raised from under the gun to 1,600. Action folded to the player in the big blind who reraised to 3,600. Matusow answered with four-bet to 6,000 and his opponent called.
The big blind checked the flop after it came 
, Matusow continued for 5,000 and the big blind insta-called. The player then check-called Matusow's bet of 5,000 on the turn.
The player again checked to Matusow on the 
river who bet 13,000. His opponent cut out the chips to call and was ready to put the chips in but stopped himself. He started shuffling chips and talking the through the hand. He eventually made the call and Matusow said, "I got lucky" as he table 
for a set on the turn. His opponent showed and just shook his head.
