After winning the first hand, Horacio Chaves has been tumbling back down on the leaderboard including losses in back-to-back hands.
In the first hand, he raised the button and Daniel Strelitz defended the big blind. Both took two apiece and Strelitz bet. Chaves raised and Strelitz called.
Each player changed one card on the second draw and Strelitz came out betting again. Chaves called and both players stood pat. Strelitz bet a third time and Chaves quickly flicked in a call.
Strelitz showed eight perfect 8x5x4x3x2x, Chaves shook his head and flashed a rough eight 8x7x5x4x3x.
In the subsequent hand, Chaves was in a three-bet pot against Michelle Chin. Drawing two cards each on the first and second draw, it was Chin who bet and Chaves who called.
On the final draw, both players drew one card and Chaves checked. Chin bet and Chaves started studying her intensely. Chin, meanwhile, stared solemnly in front of her. After a minute, Chaves opted to fold.
