Event 15 (Day 2): Level Up/Catching Up

Level 14 (Blinds 1,000/2,000/300)
Total Entries: 543
Players Remaining: 115

The action continues to be fast and furious, as Marc Gendleman sends home another two players.  The chips were all pushed towards the middle pre, with Gendleman having both Awaise Dar and Taylor Honkofsky covered:

Gendleman: A K♣        Honkofsky: 10♠ 10       Dar: 10 10♣

Runout: 5 4♣ 6 K 6♣

Both players were able to fade the flop, but once the king hit the turn, Marc would have both of his opponents drawing dead.  Gendleman is now up to 110,000 from his Day 2 starting stack of 62,500.

The field would also lose Corey Kennel, who was one of three players to chop up Event 1 of this series.  Kennel would get his remaining chips in on the flop of 6♣ 4♣ K holding K♣ 7♣ against the K♠ J of Chin Nguyen.  Kennel would gain some chop outs after the K on the turn, but the river would brick Corey and he would be eliminated.

Other eliminations include:

Adam Steinback
Ninaz Taghva
