The combined day 1a-f survivors will return to the Event Center on Friday September 13 at 12 PM to resume day two.
A full list of day two chip counts and seating assignments will be posted as soon as they're available.

The under the gun player raised to 10,000 and Carlos Matos moved all in for 95,000. It folded back to the player who called turning over

The dealer fanned the 
flop and the player paired his queen in the window to take the lead.
The 
hit the turn and Matos improved to a set of jacks to regain control. The 
river card sealed the deal for Matos and he doubled his stack.

The board ran out 
and Williams spiked his jack on the river improving to a full house to crack Diolosa's aces and stay alive.
Diolosa took the brutal beat in stride scooping the side pot and Lin was eliminated.
