Stewart “Stuman123″ Yancik has a cool 250K in chips in front of him in Event #21 $3K HORSE, which is good enough for a top five chip stack. Yancik has been above 200K for the past three hours, accumulating chips here and there without many showdowns. Stewart did take a hit though in this hand:

Stewart and three other players saw a flop of Q53 during a round of Omaha Hi-Low with the limits at 5K/10K. After a couple checks Yancik made a bet on the flop. All three players called and the turn was the 3. Again Yancik was the first to bet and this time he got two callers. The river was the 7. Yancik checked this time but the player and seat three made a bet. Yancik and the other player in the hand called and the cards are turned up:

Yancik: AKJ2
Seat three: AT32
Seat seven: AQ72

Yancik was able to claim a three-way share of the low pot with his A-2-3-5-7.

Despite the small chop there, Stewart is enjoying his new table. The entire table is being entertained by one Chau Giang. With just one level of play left in the evening, Yancik is in a good position for a run on the third and final day.

Steve “MrSmokey1″ Billirakis is on a rollercoaster on an adjacent table. Billirakis lost a big pot to November Nine member Ylon Schwartz during a round of Omaha Hi/Lo. On a J828T board, Schwartz bet out for a third and final time. After mulling it over, Billirakis made a painful call. Steve’s call was a donation because Ylon held AQJJ for the second nuts; jacks full of eights.

Billirakis picked up a few pots in razz, but is still on a short stack.
