Battle of the Felixes; Not Much Movement for Day 1b Chip Leader
Felix Stephensen, the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event runner-up, opened for 5,500 under the gun and was met by a three-bet to 12,500 from Felix Bleiker in the hijack. Action folded back to Stephensen, and he four-bet all in, which prompted Bleiker to call off for 61,900.
Bleiker: 
Stephensen: 
Stephensen was dominated, and he sent over half his chips after the board ran out a dry 
.
In the very next hand, Romain Paon, the Day 1b chip leader, raised to 5,000 from early position. Stephensen defended his big blind and then check-called a bet of 6,000 on the 
flop. Stephensen checked the 
turn, and then folded to a bet of 11,000 from Paon. The Day 1b chip leader hasn't had much movement here in Day 2, but it looks like he's going to bag and tag.
