With about 39,000 in the pot and the board reading , Mitch Garshofsky checked from the big blind and Earl Gallegos moved all in for 57,000 from the cutoff. Garshofsky thought for a minute and called with the bigger stack.

Garshofsky:
Gallegos:

Gallegos was ahead before the flop but Garshofsky took the lead when he paired his king. The turn gave Gallegos 14 outs to the river but he blanked the to exit early on Day 2.

Day 2 leader Jason Prest took his time getting to the Grand Ballroom today but is already making moves. With about 30,000 in the pot and the flop reading , Prest check-raised all in against Fred Dabus, and he called at risk for 111,000.

Dabus:
Prest:

Dabus flopped top pair of sixes but was drawing super thin against Prest’s six-high straight. Then he was drawing dead after the turn and hit the payout desk after the river while Prest looks like the first player today over a million.

Jason Prest – 1,064,000 (213 bb)
Fred Dabus – Eliminated in 476th Place ($1,040)

As with this format of everyone returning in the money, there’s a ton of action at the start with shorties trying to double or get paid. A lot of calls of “payout!” were heard in the Grand Ballroom from the start but Hollywood regular William McPhillips had other ideas.

Peter Fellows opened in early position, McPhillips shipped for 33,000 from middle position and Fellows called.

Fellows:

“One time!” McPhillips asked.

McPhillips needed to improve with his two over cards and took the lead when he paired his queen on the flop. The board finished with the turn and river and McPhillips doubled to stay in the game while a lot were busting.

“I guess you can win any more hand,” Maurice Hawkins joked with him. “You used your one-time.”

William McPhillips – 79,000 (16 bb)
Peter Fellows – 196,000 (39 bb)
