Mark Demirdjian has continued his late crushing of Day 2a here, managing to accumulate more chips than any player in in his field or over in 2b. We were recently passing by his table as he got up out of his chair to seemingly leave the table for a moment. "Got so many chips your going to have a break?" one of the players at the table joked.
"You haven't hit a set for ten minutes, so your going take some time off?" some others at the table joined in.
We can't find any past results for Demirdjian, but this certainly is a good start to creating a very illustrious poker resume.

We caught the action with 13,000 in the pot and a board reading when Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin bet a modest 3,000 into East Coast grinder Terry Grimes. The latter made the call and then watched Baldwin bet 6,600 on the river.
Grimes responded with a raise to 16,000, which prompted Baldwin to lean back and say, "I wasn't expecting that." The Wisconsinite thought for about 40 second before tossing in a call, but mucked when Grimes rolled over .

For the past few orbits Hasan Habib has been short-stacked and playing tight. We caught him opening to 2,300 and Joseph Rahme raised to 8,300. Action folded back around to Habib and after some thought he folded.
Two hands later he open-shoved and all the players folded. He picked the blinds and antes but is still in a desperate situation.
