Shoshanna Dayan

Shoshanna Dayan came into Day 2 with a healthy stack of 228,000 but she’s been riding a roller coaster all day. After getting up near 800K early in the day, she took a beat to drop down to 75,000. Dayan ran it back up to 750,000 at the dinner break then ran into Art Peacock as soon as they came back.

She was racing with 7d7s verus Peacock’s AcQd and faded everything except the three-out river to drop back under 150,000. One double up and she was back in shape then knocked Marc Woolf out with ace-king versus ace-queen to get back over 800,000.

Jerrold Jacobs was all in with AcQh from late position, Marc Woolf was also all in with pocket eights on the hijack, and Rey Baro had them both covered holding pocket kings.

The kings were good on a final board reading 10h4h2c5hQd, and Baro took out both of his opponents to stack up 1.93 million after collecting the pot. Jones was out in 97th place, and Woolf took 96th. They both pocketed $1,980 in prize money.

Kevin MacDonald

The cutoff opened to 50,000 preflop, the button called, and the big blind called as well. The flop fell 9s7c5s, and all three players popped in another 100,000 each to the pot.

The turn delivered the Js, and all three players checked through to the 6c on the river. That’s when Senhao Cao ripped it all in for 550,000 from the big blind. Kevin MacDonald called to cover him from the cutoff, and the button got out of the way.

Cao held Js6c and he was eliminated in 104th place for a payout of $1,640, while MacDonald stacked up 1.6 million after the hand thanks to pocket sevens for a set.

Kevin MacDonald – 1,600,000 (53 bb)
Senhao Cao – Eliminated in 104th Place ($1,640)
