As the number of remaining players is going down, Joshua Abiscott helped bringing this number down by 2. In a three way all-in before the flop hand with Michael Ferrer and Kurtis Brooks, Abiscott’s 
held through.

Action was folded to Gabriel Attiave, who shoved a rather short stack from the button. He had about 2.5M, or a little over 12 big blinds. Jimmy Setna tried to isolate him from the small blind, but Giovanni Massa, in the big blind with a very strong hand and no more than 1.5M, tagged along.

Attiave let out a first pump, very happy to catch the average. First step completed.

As usual, on a Day 2, small stacks are going to start making moves fast and very early in the day. Sometimes it’ll work and the player will double up or collect the blinds and ante, but other times they’ll make the move at a bad moment and go against a better hand and lose. That’s what happened to Sebastien Soares when, first to act before the flop, he pushed all-in. He got one caller, Samuel Gagnon.

While Gagnon’s pocket pair was enough to make him collect Soares’s stack, he still managed to hit a set on the turn and a full house on the river.
Benger gobbles

Griffin Benger, a very experienced tournament player with almost $4M in live earnings and chip leader to start the day just gulped Vincent Moscati’s 10M stack. Benger and Moscati were dealt a couple of premium hands, and after a pre-flop raising war, they were all-in:

Moscati’s Day 2 was cruelly cut short, and Benger now enjoys a crushing 30M stack. He is not one to sit on a stack like this, and his table mates will surely have their hands full.

Day 2 will take place in the main tournament hall, sharing the space with Day 3 of the Finale and of course, the Final Table of the Main Event on the stage.
It is an exciting day at Playground Poker Club. Three Champion will be crowed today, and millions of dollars will be awarded, $180,000 of which will go to the winner of Event 5. 140 players. On your mark… get set!
