Adam “Roothless” Levy is hanging in there in the $5k shootout. After the first break Levy and Greg “FBT Mueller continued heads up play with Mueller holding about a 9:1 chip advantage over Levy. Mueller has been talking up a storm while Levy is patiently waiting to catch a hand. Levy doubled once with A8 against Mueller’s 22 by catching an ace and he has been slowly chipping up since. Most recently he raised Mueller on the turn of a KT92 board and was called. Levy bet out 37k on the river and after debating Mueller called and then mucked when he saw Levy held the K2 for two pair. Mueller still has almost a 2:1 chip advantage but has been complaining that Levy is catching much better cards heads up.

While Levy battles on, Leo Wolpert made quick work of his table, taking it down 1 hour and 10 minutes after play began today. He gained a huge chip lead when he won a three-way pot with pocket aces, then once play was heads up Wolpert made a bet on the river with the board showing A8748 and his opponent raised all in. Wolpert jumped from his chair yelling “Call, call call!” before flipping over the A8 for a full house that was good enough to give him the win in the 2nd round of the shootout. He now has one of the six seats at the final table tomorrow.

Joe Sebok and Isaac Haxton were both eliminated from their tables while Tim “TMay420″ West is still battling with John Juanda and Eric “EFro” Froehlich on another table.
