We didn't see the hand action but we do know that David Baker caught a river two pair with 
against an opponents 
on a board of 
to score an elimination.
With that, he has passed over the 60,000 chip mark and has found some life here on Day 2, just two tables away from the money.

Mike Matusow opened to 4,000 and Stephen Chidwick three-bet to 14,400 from the cutoff. The blinds passed and Matusow made the call before potting when the flop came 
. Chidwick raised, and Matusow committed his 40,000 total in his stack..
Matusow: 
Chidwick: 
With Matusow having a wrap but still needing to spike to be alive to take at least half, the 
on the turn changed little. But it would be the 
on the river that would see Matusow capture the low as Chidwick's aces held up for the high.

Check out this week's episode of The Straddle. Kristy shows you footage from EDC, Daniel Negreanu throws her shoe, and more.
Andrey Zaichenko opened to 4,000 and Matt Woodward made the call from two seats over. Zaichenko continued for 6,000 on the 
flop with Woodward calling before both players checked the 
on the turn.
The river of the 
saw Zaichenko bet out 10,000 with Woodward instantly calling. Zaichenko tabled his 
for the nut low and ace-queen high while Woodward tabled his 
for the same low but a better high with ace-king to take three-quarters of the pot and send his stack upwards to 65,000.

Zhen Cai and Matt Woodward finished first and second in the chip counts last night with Woodward leading by just a few thousand chips over Cai.
Today is a new day though, and thus their stories are changing. Cai has vaulted himself into the chip lead over the course of the day and he sits on a stack of over 200,000. Woodward on the other hand has sunk to the middle-low end of the pack and sits with just about 45,000. The two chip leaders from last night has certainly headed in different directions and it looks like Zhen Cai is coming out on top.

Catching the action on the 
flop we found Dylan Linde betting out 5,600 and an opponent calling before a third player on the button slid out two stacks of chips amounting to a raise of 23,000. Linde potted, and the player in the middle tanked for over a minute before folding as the button player committed his final 10,000 in chips.
Linde: 
Opponent: 
With Linde in the lead, the on the turn only furthered it before the 
completed the board on the river sending his opponent to the rail and his stack upwards of 100,000.

We came to the table with the action on Andreas Hoivold. Three players, one of whom was Tom Koral, had already moved all in and Hoivold had a decision to either call or fold after having already opened the pot.
Eventually, Hoivold turned up his 
and folded his hand. Tom Koral and the other two players all turned up their hands.
Koral: 
Player 1:
Player 2: 
The board ran out 
. At first it looked as if Koral would chop with the first player, as they each had three tens with an ace kicker, but on second glance, Koral had actually picked up a straight. There was no low possible and Koral doubled through player two, who had a covering stack while eliminating player one.

On a board oh Paul Tedeschi was in betting mode. There had been a bet and a call of 3,200 on the flop, a bet and a call of 3,500 on the turn, then on the river Tedeschi fired 7,700 into Eslami.
Eslami showed his 
and mucked his hand, not calling the bet. Tedeshi, quiet as always, just raked in the pot.
