Chris Nomikos finished Flight C with the chip lead and returned as the second biggest stack overall, but he’s the early Day 2 chip leader after a quick run.

On the first hand, action folded around the Nomikos in the small blind and he moved all in on the short-stacked Almog Biton in the big blind. He called for his final 90,000 and they were off to the races.

Nomikos:
Biton:

Biton needed to hold to stay in the game and the seemed safe. The turn gave him some troubles even with his two pair and it was counterfeited on the river. Nomikos ace played and Biton was sent out.

On the next hand, it folded around to Gil Aboodi in the cutoff and he moved all in for 57,000. After a quick think, Nomikos called on the button and the blinds released.

Aboodi:
Nomikos:

Another race for someone’s stack and this time the pair held as the board ran to send Aboodi out.

“Who’s next?” Nomikos joked with his table.

Those back-to-back hands moved Nomikos over 450,000 and likely the early chip leader.
