Less than an hour into the start of day 2 of the $5k Shootout and Leo Wolpert (pictured left) doubled his starting stack of 100k. He got all his chips in on a flop of KT3 and was called by an opponent holding the KQ which was second best to Leo’s AA. The 7 on the turn and the 3 on the river were harmless and Leo had around 200k in chips.

That was until Leo got it all in again against an opponent with less chips on a flop of 853. Leo held the K4 for a flush draw while the other player held the 88 for a flopped set. The 9 on the turn and the 3 on the river were no help to Leo and he dropped back down to a little over 100k in chips.

One table over, Joe Sebok’s stack had been sliding as a result of other players reraising him preflop pushing Joe off of some hands. When he was down to around 50k, he and an opponent both checked a flop of Q98. When the 9 fell on the turn Sebok got it all in and showed the JT for the flopped nut straight while his opponent held the AQ for two pair. The K fell on the river and Joe doubled his stack back up to around 100k.

Isaac Haxton isn’t having quite as much luck. With the board reading JT4J3 Isaac called a large bet by Eric Lindgren on the river and when Lindgren tabled the K5 for a flush, Isaac slowly rapped the table and threw his hand away. Afterwards he was down to around 20k of the original 100k.

Across the room play has gotten underway at the final table of the $1.5k 6 handed event #9. P5er Devin “TranquilChaos” Porter is looking to improve his stack as he is 5th in chips at the start of the day.
