Day 1 chip leader Tony Ruberto is still grinding away here on Day 2.
In a recent pot, Keith Tilston check-called 21,000 on a 
flop, and the 
hit the turn. Tilston checked, and Ruberto put him all in for 66,000. Tilston leaned back in his seat, looking pained. He let his hand go, and Antonio Esfandiari asked if they could see Ruberto's hand.
"You can pick one," Ruberto said.
Esfandiari snatched up a card just before the dealer slid the hand into the muck, and he turned over the 
.
"The other one was better," Ruberto assured the table.

We caught the end of a hand between Timothy Adams and Dan Shak that left one with a big stack and the other now on fumes.
Facing a 37,000 Adams bet on a 
board following the turn with a hefty amount already in the pot, Shak made it 72,000. Adams flatted and they both checked down the 
river.
Adams turned over 
for two pair and took it down with Shak telling him he could have had it all if he had shoved the river.

Blake Barousse raised to 8,000 on the button, and Chino Rheem potted to 28,000 in the small blind. Barousse shipped it for 61,500 total, and Rheem made the call, though he wasn't too keen.
Rheem: 
Barousse: 
The dealer spread a flop of 
, turning Rheem from dog to favorite, though he still had a flush draw to fade. The 
turn gave Barousse even more outs with a gutshot, but the 
river was a brick.

JC Tran just tangled with Antonio Esfandiari again, only this time they didn't have the same hand.
The hand began with a 10,000 bet from Tony Ruberto. Esfandiari flatted before Tran potted it for 42,000, leaving himself very little behind. Ruberto let it go, but Esfandiari bet enough to put Tran all in for his last 67,000.
It was a classic race with Tran on 
and Esfandiari holding 
but Tran held on through the 
board to double through Esfandiari.
"Thought maybe we had the same hand again," said Esfandiari, pushing a good portion of his stack across the table.
