Fuchs Folds; Lives Chops, & Whitaker Among the Early Day 2 Casualties

Carol Fuchs was in the big blind and defended against an open raise and a call. On the flop, Fuchs check-called and then check-folded the turn when Brian Lives bet again and Sirous Baghchehsaraie called. After the river, Lives check-called the all-in of his table neighbor and they chopped it with (Aces-up) versus (nut low).

One hand later, Jeffrey Whitaker was all-in from the cutoff and earned calls on the button and big blind. The big blind got it in after the flop and was called by Michael Chow.

Jeffrey Whitaker: (one pair and straight draw)
Big blind: (bigger pair, flopped nut low with straight draw)
Michael Chow: (flopped flush)

The turn and river were already meaningless as Whitaker's elimination was confirmed on the turn, while the big blind escaped for half the pot with the nut low.
