Wow. So much for coming into Day 2 as one of the chip leaders. Jan Skampa has been sent to the rail not even thirty minutes into the day, despite starting the day with more than 185 big blinds. The final hand for Skampa came on a board of {5-Spades} {2-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {9-Hearts}. With 73,000 chips already in the middle, Skampa's lone opponent, Jazzar Moroun, had first action and moved all in for 64,200. Skampa tanked for about a minute and a half before announcing a call. He mucked after Moroun opened {5-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} for a set of fives. When the stacks were counted down, Moroun just barely had Skampa covered.

Moroun is the new tournament chip leader with about 200,000 chips.
