After finishing day 1A as the chip leader Jason “JP_OSU” Potter (left) has been able to significantly increase his stack and stay at the top of the chip counts during the first half of day 2 play. Potter has right around 300k in chips, sitting across the table from Steve “gboro780″ Gross who also has a healthy stack, though at 150k only half of Potter’s mountain of chips.

Kevin “BeL0WaB0Ve” Saul was able to bust a player and add to his chip stack when his AQ held up against A8 in an all in preflop situation. Saul was up to 240k before taking a hit when his trips ran into a full house. Kevin opened for 3,500, another player called and Joe “ender555″ Ebanks called sending the trio to the KQ5 flop. Kevin checked and the other player bet 12k. Joe folded and Kevin made the call. The turn was the 4 and the action went check check. The K hit on the river and Kevin led for 27,500. The other player called and after Kevin showed his KJ his opponent showed the 44 for a turned set and rivered full house.

Jim “POKERPRO33″ Campbell (right) has recently been eliminated from play as the field has now dropped to 140 players.
