The redraw did not slow anyone down. Roberto Iannetti went out on one of the first hands after the went back in action and Alex Griffin moved all in for 82,000 soon after. Brandon Rivera called and Griffin was live.

Griffin:
Rivera:

The flop came to put Rivera futher in the lead.

“I’m not live anymore,” Griffin laughed.

The turn and river did not help Griffin and he was sent out in 26th. He was followed by Paul Russo in 25th and Ricardo Rodriguez in 24th as they hit the break

Former WPTDeepStacks Tampa Main Event champ Anthony Astarita hit the rail in 29th after a bad beat and Mark Katz was all in a moment after. He shoved for 88,000 and Paul Russo looked him up.

Katz:
Russo:

Russo had the bigger ace and they both flopped aces up on the board. The turn and river were no help and Katz was eliminated in 28th place for $878.

Players Remaining: 31 of 560

Wesley Skinner opened to 30,000 from middle position and Wally Maddah called in the small blind.

“I check dark,” Maddah said.

The flop came and Skinner bet 50,000. Maddah cut down his remaining stack of 99,000.

“I’m behind,” Maddah said. “I know it.”

He still pushed his stack forward, Skinner called, and Maddah was correct that he was behind.

Maddah:
Skinner:

Maddah was in rough shape until the turn came for the two out lead. To rub a little salt in the wound, he spiked the river for overkill quads.

Wally Maddah – 290,000
Wesley Skinner – 275,000

We caught the action in the middle of the hand but it seems Michael Imperiale limped under the gun and found no action until Brandon Byars completed in the small blind. Ok Haselton checked her option in the big blind to the flop.

Byars moved all in for 74,000 and Haselton released before Imperiale called.

Imperiale:
Byars:

“I should have raised,” Imperiale said. “I was expecting action from you guys (pointing to his left).”

Byars was ahead with sevens up and found a double as the board finished to give him a boat.

Byars – 160,000
Imperiale – 370,000

Wayne Daley came into the day with one of the bigger stacks and was still in good shape with 180,000. But he found himself in a tough spot when he was all in against the bigger stack of Devon Felix holding a lesser hand.

Daley:
Felix:

Daley needed a miracle to stick around and missed the flop. He added a gutshot draw on the turn and hit a set on the for the big double.

Players continued to hit the rail at regular intervals but there’s been no change at the top of the leaderboard. Herbert Woodbery still leads the way with half of the starting Day 2 field gone. He’s sitting with 675,000 and Darrell Rodgers looks like the second biggest with 560,000.

They are counting down Level 17 and will soon go on an extended 20-minute break to color off the purple chips.
