An early mass exodus is typical of super-sized restarts like that in Event 1. One player not a part of the throngs heading to the rail is short stack Len Nhoung.

Nhoung began the day with 27,500 chips — 130th of 135 returners —  and surrendered a few blinds and antes before she got her last 18,500 in the middle holding Qh9h against an opponent’s AhQc.

The dealer made her sweat, burning and turning a Kh8d2h7s flop and turn. Nhoung headed to the river looking for a heart or a nine, and got just that when the 7h fell improving to her a flush. Nhoung’s face broke out in a smile and he doubled up early on Day 2.

Len Nhoung – 43,500 (14 bb)
