Mike Pickett started the day off as second in chips. He very well could be chip leader now with a recent hand he just played. The big action came on a board of when Pickett's opponent bet out 6,100. Pickett raised to 15,000. The action was fast and furious after that. Pickett's opponent shipped all in and Pickett snap called.
Picket showed the nut straight with and his opponent would need help with top two pair
.
The river would not be kind to Pickett's opponent as it came the and with that Pickett is very strong. He has gain the chip lead and promises to put a big showing throughout day 2.

Well known Dutch player Olaf de Zeeuw is off to a good start here on day two. He had already opened six or seven times, he told us, and then finally had a real hand and he got some action. He opened with ace-king and saw the player on the button 3-bet to 5,000. De Zeeuw made it 15,000 and called as his opponent shoved for 35,000.
De Zeeuw was up against pocket nines and directly hit on the flop. A king popped up and the remaining nines stayed in the deck. De Zeeuw is now one of the bigger stacks in the room now.

Austin Buchanan started the day as one of the short stacks. He didn't seem to get anything going today. The table folded to him in the small blind and with he pushed all in. His opponent in the big blind instantly said "All In" having Buchanan covered. Buchanan's opponent held
Buchanan would need some help to stay alive. The window card was the which delighted Buchanan greatly. However the rest of the flop came
to give top pair to Buchanan's opponent. The turn
and river
were no help and Buchanan would have to settle with a min-cash.

Randy "nanonoko" Lew opened under-the-gun to 2,400 and had more than enough action behind him. The player in the hijack position pushed his stack forward (about 15,000) and the cut off committed his stack as well (7,800). The button and both blinds folded and the decision was back on Lew. He thought about it for a couple of minutes and eventually decided to call.

Lew had the worse of it but that would soon change: on the flop. After the
on the turn and
on the river the dealer shouted "Pay outs table 427!" and two players got up from the table.
Lew is foremost an online player, a thing we could tell by the speed of his stacking abilities. To stack his newly acquired chips in twenties took him as long as his pre flop decision.

Yesterday they played till they reached the money and thus there were a lot of shortstacked players in the field today. The first couple of minutes you could hear "Pay Out Table 441!", "Pay Out Table 433!" and so on. A lot of players have busted their short stacks already, that's for sure. The Pay Out tab will be updated as soon as we get the information from the World Series of Poker organization.
In one of the first hands of the day the well known online player Josh Field has handed over his last chips to another player at the table.
A player in early position made it 3,000 to go after which the cutoff bumped it up to 6,000. Acting out of the small blind, Josh Field committed his 7,500 and the big blind folded. The initial-raiser wasn't willing to put in another 4,500 but the 3-better did. Field tabled and was in a race situation against the
from the cut off. The flop (
) and turn (
) were reasonably safe for Field but the
on the river meant that this hand was the last hand of his tournament.
