Mike Lafable, who took down the first event of this edition of the Playground Poker Fall Classic, has been steadily growing his stack over the course of this Day 2.

He recently eliminated Ioannis Pentefountas to take over the chip lead of the tournament. We missed the action, but with a considerable amount of chips already in the pot before the river, Ioannis found himself all-in on a board showing 7 of Hearts 8 of Clubs Queen of Hearts 5 of Spades 8 of Spades. He table King of Hearts 8 of Hearts for three of a kind, but lost to Mike’s straight, who was holding 6 of Diamonds 4 of Diamonds.

With that pot, Mike has climbed well over the 1 million chip mark, sitting on approximately 1,350,000 chips. He is directly to the left of TJ Ulmer, who owns roughly 770,000 chips, good for 3rd in chips. Faisail Khan is currently second on the leaderboard with around 840,000 chips.
