Pre-flop, Loren Weiss opened mid position to 40k, Stephen Faulkner, next to act, called, Sundiata DeVore, on the button raises to 155k, Rob Gisondi, in the small blind, moves all in for about 600k, Weiss goes over top with about 1M, Faulkner goes all in for less with about 290k, and Devore tanks and calls (starting with about 1.27M).

Hands tabled:

Weiss: AhKd

Faulkner: 7c8h

DeVore: AdKc

Gisondi: QQ

Flop right away gives Faulkner 2 pair with a 7 and 8 and the board runs out 10 high to award him a quadruple up. Gisondi wins the side pot, and no one is immediately eliminated, but the hand leaves DeVore and Weiss below average chips.

Fred “Frankie” Knecht just had a couple huge hits to his stack. Though Knecht enjoys coming out for the occasional tournament, he is known to be a fearless online player, and will play just about any line up. Even his opponents will tell you he has all the moves on and off the felt. His most recent pot he had raised from the button to 40k and was called by Giuseppe Lomuscio in the SB

Flop: 10c 72ss Lomuscio led for 40k and Knecht raised to 115k

Turn: As Lumuscio bet 75k and Knecht called

River: 6c Lumuscio bets 225k which just about covered Knecht’s remaining stack. Knecht tanks and eventually folds leaving him with right around 10 BB

Don’t count Knecht out just yet, as a swing in luck back his way, and this pro will be one to watch out for.

Though it took her multiple buy-ins day one, Tiffany Wong was able to capitalize on her last bullet and came into day 2 as the chip leader. Earlier in the day she was up around 1.4 million but lost a big pot and currently around 900k. Wong won the last Big stax 750 and we have seen her ability to put pressure on her opponents and build up a solid chip lead. As the field narrows, she will be one to watch.
