Tom Nguyen’s run came to an end at the hands of friend Wally Maddah. He moved all-in from the small blind for 130,000 and Maddah slow peeled his big blind.

The Seminole Hard Rock Tampa ambassador leaned back, laughed, and called.

Nguyen needed some help to stay alive and caught a piece of the flop. His brief window of salvation closed as Maddah turned a set when the dealer dropped the . Nguyen was drawing dead to the river and 24th place.

A late-position player had 30,000 in the pot. Staffan Lind was on the button with stack of 100,000 shoved forward. The small blind was in on it, too, with an all-in bet of 144,000 in the middle. The late-position player made an uneasy fold while Lind nonchalantly called the 44,000 extra putting the small blind at risk.

Small blind:
Lind:

Lind was well behind in the hand, but had the small blind easily covered. The flop left little room for a sweat when it fell giving Lind a set of fives. The turn and river improved Lind to a fullhouse. He busted the small blind and took the chip lead in the process.

Staffan Lind – 1,555,000 (97 bb)

David Tuthill is one of the most experienced players to have made Day 2 here in the Winter Poker Open $350. He’s been steady throughout the day, but is making a move as of late.

He recently lead out for 43,000 on a board. The pot was heads up and action was on a player in early position. That player called and they saw the river. Tuthill jammed having his opponent’s last roughly 100,000 chips covered. The opponent mucked and Tuthill took the pot.

David Tuthill – 435,000 (36 bb)

Blinds are rising, players are busting and tables are breaking. One of the most recent tables to break is Table 47. Along with fellow big stacks Brandon Byars and Justin Maddox, Max Goodarzi was at Table 47 and just recently took a new seat to the dismay of his new tablemates.

Goodarzi’s stack sits at 1,075,000 not only making him the first player over the 1,000,000 mark, but putting him atop the counts with only fives tables remaining.

Max Goodarzi – 1,075,000 (107 bb)
