Level 2 Recap

The second level of the final table included our second elimination of the evening when Tim Phan went out on Hand #30. He ran into Kirk Morrison's pocket Aces. Paul Lee got frustrated as he lost the chiplead to an aggressive Carlos Mortensen who shifted into high gear. Most of the action involved Guy Laliberte and Carlos Mortensen. The two players were invovled in several hands, with Laliberte getting the best of El Matador in a 4M pot.

During the last few minmutes of the round, Kirk Morrison and Mortensen were invovled in two juicy pots. Mortensen snatched away 1.7M of Morrison's stack on the first hand.

On the second, Morrison called a 2.7M bet from Mortensen pre-flop and flopped a set of Jacks. Morrison crippled Mortensen on that hand, and he's down to a little over 1M. That hand pushed Morrison into a monster lead with over 16M. He has almost 50% of the chips in play.
