As the field continues to get smaller and grow closer to the money, many are short and waiting for just the right hand to move all in. With about double the average and the chip lead at her table, Tiffany Wong has remained active and continues to put the pressure on her opponents. She recently opened from the hijack to 20k pre flop and the cutoff, short stack Travis Hartshorn, moved all in for 8k more. Wong calls.

Wong: J♠6♠

Hartshorn: A♦J ♥

Drawing thin to a flush or 6, though she does turn a flush draw, the river is a blank to give Harshorn the double up. She recovers quickly taking down the blinds a couple hands later. Wong has close to a quarter million in live tournament earnings. Her biggest cash was at the Orleans this summer where she took 2nd place for $160,000. She will certainly be one to look out for this tournament.

Pre flop Luis Yepez raised and got a call from Brad Siegel in the cutoff and Ron Adams in the Big blind.

Flop: K♥10♣4♥ Adams checks, Yepez bets 13k (about 1/3 pot) and Siegel and Adams call

Turn: 8♥ Adams leads for 65k Yepez tanks and folds, and Siegel calls

River 3♦ Adams moves all in for 140k, Adams asks for a count and thinks for a minute and calls.

Siegel shows his Q♥9♥ for the second nut flush and Adams shows down A♥10♥ for the nut flush to win the pot and more than doubles up to about 660k.

A few hands later, Yepez raises UTG to 12k, Siegel re-raises to 25k, Adams calls along with the button; action back to Yepez who moves all in for 87k, Siegel folds, Adams moves all in, and the button folds.

Adams: A♣K♣

Yepez: JJ

Board runs out clean for Yepez to win the flip and double up.

Left: Luis Yepez; Right: Brad Siegel Ron Adams

While many players have had the misfortune of going out the first hour of play, others have run up a sizable chip stack. Marco Vasile came into day 2 right around average chip stack. This first hour or so of play he has been running hot and now sits on right around 600k in chips. The biggest of the pots he won was with pocket Aces which Vasile opened UTG and got 4 callers. A queen high board came out and Vasile led out for 17k and one of his opponents moved all in for about 200k with KQ. Vasile calls, and his opponent missed hitting 2 pair or trips to award Vasile the pot.
