Eveslage Takes Some Off Lisandro

Level 19

Stud Hi-Lo Regular

Chad Eveslage: 23645A10
Jeff Lisandro: 253466K

The boards of both players were already mashed to display the hand strength and Chad Eveslage took three quarters of the pot with a six-high straight and superior low. By doing so, Eveslage moved up to nearly half a million in chips to continue his early rise on Day 2.

Noori Chips Up; Vengrin Doesn't Pay it All

Level 19

Badacey

Upon completion of the final draw, Michael Noori bet and that sent Matt Vengrin into the tank. He carefully checked his stack and the bets he had behind. "I'll probably just gonna fold ... you have to have it?!" he said in table chat.

Vengrin then folded half a minute later and Noori exposed the 6 / 7532 before scooping the pot. The table broke right after as the field was down to just 54 players.

Level 19
Phil Hui
Phil Hui

Limit Omaha 8 or Better

Picking action up on the flop, Phil Hui was all in for his last 29,000 on the button with the board reading 44J.

Dekel Balas bet from the small blind which got a fold from Marco Johnson in the big blind to leave the pot heads-up.

Phil Hui: J976
Dekel Balas: A543

Hui's jacks and fours needed help against Balas' trip fours, but after the board ran out 22, no help came for the three-time bracelet winner and he became the latest post-bubble bustout.
