John Lichtenstein came into Day 2 as the chip-leader and made it very deep into Day 2 before running into a monster from Mike Bilinski pre-flop.
Lichtenstein opened in early position to 65k (~600k behind). Action folded to Bilinski in the big blind and he made it 205k total. Lichtenstein put in the 4-bet jam for ~665k total and was immediately called by Bilinski.
