Raminder Singh

Du Nay opened to 85,000, Raminder Singh three-bet to 300,000 from the button, and Nay called.

The flop was Ad8s3s, Nay checked, Singh continued for 415,000, and Nay called.

The turn was the 2s, Nay checked, Singh shoved for effectively 845,000, and Nay tanked for about three minutes before the clock was called.

Nay let the clock expire and tossed his hand to the muck, showing Ac10c  for a pair of aces.

Singh tabled 5h5d for a pair of fives as he collected the pot.

Raminder Singh  –  2,750,000  (69 bb)

David Lopez and Daniel Hamm
David Lopez (left) and Daniel Hamm

David Lopez limped from UTG+1 for 30,000, Daniel Hamm moved all in from middle position for 315,000, and the player in the small blind tanked for a while before he called.

Lopez went into the tank for a long time, eventually asking the small blind how many chips he had left in his stack. (The small blind had 355K behind.) Lopez eventually folded.

Hamm turned over JhJc, and needed it to hold to stay alive against the small blind’s 9h9d.

The board came QcJd4d3cQd, and Hamm flopped a set of jacks and rivered a full house to win the pot and double up in chips.

Daniel Hamm  –  720,000  (24 bb)

With 84 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 1,015,000 (34 big blinds), and the remaining players are guaranteed at least $2,960 each.

Francis Margaglione
Francis Margaglione

Francis Margaglione began Day 2 with the third largest chip stack in the field, but he just caught a cooler at the wrong time.

Margaglione got it all in preflop for about 620,000 with KxKx, but unfortunately his opponent turned over AxAx. Margaglione never caught up, and he was eliminated in 87th place.

Nadya Magnus
Nadya Magnus

Reigning GPI Female Player of the Year Nadya Magnus took a big hit before the dinner break when she raised UTG+1 with AxKx, and her opponent shoved with AxJx. A jack on the flop gave her opponent the double-up, and Magnus was left with 270,000 at the dinner break.

Nadya Magnus  –  270,000  (9 bb)

About 25 minutes after dinner, Magnus moved all in with Ax4x, and the big blind called with KxQx.

The board came Kx3x3x4x10x — her opponent flopped a king, and Nadya turned a four for additional outs. But she missed her outs on the river, and her opponent won the pot to knock her out in 92nd place.

Nadya Magnus  –  Eliminated in 92nd Place  ($2,750)

With 91 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 935,000 (31 big blinds), and the remaining players are guaranteed at least $2,750 each.
