H.O.R.S.E. Day Two Over
Jun 25, '07
The completion of the Razz level has prompted the end of Day 2.
RAZZ
Erick Lindgren made the most of the last level of the day, doubling up his short stack twice. Both times it was a tight race down to the river. Against Neal Friets, Lindgren held a 10-7-4-3-A on 6th street while Friets was drawing to an 8-7-3-2 low. Both players missed, but Friets could only manage a King low. Against Chris Reslock, Lindgren was drawing to a 7-4-2-A low, already holding two pair against Reslock's 7-6-2-A draw with a Jack. Lindgren picked up a 3 on the river to make a seven-high low and double his chips back up to over $100,000.
Short stacks Cyndy Violette and Dan Shak also found refuge on the river to double up their short stacks in the last level.
Bill Edler was not so lucky, busting in 53rd place when he ran into Mike Matusow's perfect six low.
The 52 remaining players bagged up their chips for the night and were informed that their tables would be redrawn for tomorrow. There will be two TV tables tomorrow as ESPN is beefing up the coverage of this massive event.
Amazingly in this star-studded field, the day two chip leader is relative unknown John Hanson, who's tournament winnings to date according to our records wouldn't cover half of the tournament buy-in. Eli Elezra, Toto Leonidas, and Allen Cunningham are right on his heels though.
Be sure to check out the progress of Chip Reese, Andy Bloch, Huck Seed, and Justin Bonomo as they continue tomorrow in our
Pro Blogs section.
Play will resume at 2pm PST
