Day 2 Chip Leader Hits the Rail

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Sridhar Sangannagari
Sridhar Sangannagari

Sridhar Sangannagari came into Day 2 with an overwhelming chip lead of 971,000. After a slow start that brought him down to about 600,000, he jammed the button with pocket fours and ran into the queens of Adrii Zhuk for a 50 big blind pot.

Just two hands later he jammed over the open of Mike Dangelico for his remaining chips. Dangelico called off for only a few more big blinds and the cards were tabled.

Sridhar Sangannagari: K10
Mike Dangelico: 108

The full board ran out 32A69 giving Dangelico a flush and Sangannagari hit the rail late in Day 2.

Byars Gets the Card He Needs

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Under the Gun: AK
Sean Byars: AQ

The full board ran out 3Q269 and with the flopped queen, Byars scooped the pot and earned the knockout.

Dangelico Gets the Call He Wanted

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Action folded to Mike Dangelico in late position who opened to 35,000. The start of day chip leader Sridhar Sangannagari called on the button and the big blind came along too.

The 94Q flop landed and action checked to Dangelico who continued for 76,000. Sangannagari called on the button and the big blind folded.

The 7 landed on the turn and Dangelico led all in for about 260,000. Sangannagari sat in the tank for over a minute and seemed to be skeptical of the jam. Eventually he called and the cards were tabled.

Mike Dangelico: KQ
Sridhar Sangannagari: A9

The river was an 8 and Dangelico scooped a large pot with his pair of queens to regain some lost chips.

Robert Aquilias: KQ

Dangelico Gets it in Behind

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Mike Dangelico
Mike Dangelico

Action folded to Mike Dangelico in late position who went all in for about 250,000. The next player to act on the button flat called and the small blind folded. It was then on the big blind who three-bet jammed for 475,000. The button folded and the players were off to a full board heads up.

Mike Dangelico: 1010
Big Blind: QQ

The J73 flop would not bring any help for Dangelico but the dealer then burned and turned a 10 giving Dangelico life and putting him right back in his seat. The A river would be irrelevant and Dangelico would triple up after a very favorable turn card.
