Since the break, Chris Carlson has more than doubled his stack. He’s up to over 800k.
When I inquired how he got those chips, he said “I stole ’em”. Then he expanded, saying he flopped a couple of sets for big pots.
Thirteen tables remain with about 115 players. Average stack is 207k.

Level 15: Blinds 1,500/3,000/400 ante
A pair of family members have made it to Day 2. The Mother / Son combo of Antoinette Fiorenza and Vincent Fiorenza both survived their respective starting flights to advance. Vincent was 11th in chips of the 255 players who made the cut while his mother Antoinette was 40th in chips.
I don’t think researchers have isolated the gene for poker ability, but it must run in this family!

Level 13: Blinds 1k/2k/300 ante
Rich Milroy comes into Day 2 as the overall chip leader and looks perfectly comfortable sitting behind all those chips.
As expected, there was an early flurry of bust-outs. We’ve already lost about 15 players.
With 240 remaining and only 100 getting paid, there’s still a very long way to go.
