SHRP regular Larry Klur is doing his part as well to get the field smaller. After a self-declared rough time at the start of Day 2, he’s now sitting comfortably after sending two players out.

We caught the action with Klur involved in the big three-way pot when he called two shoves to put Mark Hodge and Hollander Preap at risk.

Klur:
Hodge:
Preap:

Klur was dominating them both and called for all low cards from the dealer. His huge lead shrunk on the flop but he dodged Preap’s straight draw on the turn and river.

The hand sent Hodge and Preap out of the tournament while Klur moved up to 830,000.
