. Turner, with 
face up, had a final card to turn, and it was the 
.
Chabra had returned today with just 28,200 chips. After his table move to Frank Kassela's left, things started looking up for him. "I got moved, and I've been running hot," said Chabra, while Kassela lamented having a big stack to his left now.

From cutoff, Ashton Berner got his last 2,800 into the middle and Jerry Wong isolated to 7,000 on the button. Steven Tabb, however, didn't hold back and he made it 27,000 in the big blind. Wong quickly escaped.
Tabb stood pat, Berner changed one and they opened their hands.

Berner needed a two, six or a seven to outdraw Tabb's nine-eight-five, but he didn't find any of that and he immediately mucked his hand without showing.

Michael Gathy was among the big stacks for the better part of Day 1 and the three-time bracelet winner has kept his foot firmly on the pedal today. Gathy, who came back third in chips, has more than doubled his belongings through the first two hours and change.
Gathy was just seen scooping another pot when he called a 5,500-raise from Joseph Ranciato. Gathy was on the button, drawing one after Ranciato had done the same. Ranciato led out 8,000, but Gathy fired back with a raise to 35,000. Ranciato laid his hand down and Gathy stacked his new chips, improving to 230,000.
