After Kevin Carnevale sent a double across the table to Douglas Decker, he dropped back to the pack and we found six players over 600K during the break. Pablo Valdivieso now leads the field with a tough gang of players in the mix all grouped together.

Chip leader Kevin Carnevale open from middle position and Douglas Decker three-bet to 40,000 from the cutoff. The button and blinds folded, Carnevale moved all in, and Decker called at risk for 237,000.

“If it’s my time, it’s my time,” Decker said.

Carnevale:
Decker:

It was a fair fight and Decker needed his jacks to hold to stay in the game. The board ran out , Decker made an overkill heart flush, and doubled up.

“That’s ok,” Decker laughed. “He just gave me the crumbs from his couch.”

Douglas Decker – 489,000 (82 bb)
Kevin Carnevale – 680,000 (113 bb)

As expected, we had a quick run to the payout desk to begin the day with the shorter stacks taking a shot and some bad luck along the way including a cooler for former Tampa champ Frank Weigel.

Blinds are up to 3,000/6,000 with a 6,000 ante and the average stack is about 281,000 (47 bb).

Rory Malisoff opened to 11,000 from middle position, and Wesley Haymond moved all in for 41,000. The button and blinds folded, and Malisoff called with the bigger stack.

Malisoff:
Haymond:

Haymond was flipping, needed to catch to stay in the game, but Malisoff was the one who improved when he made a set on the flop. Haymond had a spade draw and backdoor Broadway draw, picked up some outs on the turn, but blanked the river to exit early on Day 2.

Rory Malisoff – 280,000 (56 bb)
Wesley Haymond – Eliminated in 74th Place ($1,780)
