There is a short break in Day 2 of Event 12, and we took this chance to bring an update on the chip counts of the remaining players. Trevor Delaney still has a stranglehold on this tournament at the time, as his 664,000 stack nearly doubles second in chips, and dwarfs the remainder of the field.

The money bubble burst in the last level before the break, and shortly after this we lost Rong Xu in 13th place, who collected a min-cash of $1,100.

Trevor Delaney, who came into Day 2 of Event 12 as the chip leader, has just extended his lead after knocking out Nick-Real Seide in 18th place.

Trevor opened his button, and went heads-up to the flop with Nick. After c-betting the flop for 25,000, he was faced with a check-raise to 70,000. He replied with an all-in, forcing Nick into the tank. After a few moments, he committed his final 85,000, and they both tabled their hands.

Nick was ahead when he made the call, but the running cards came , and he finished second-best to Trevor’s straight. After the hand, Trevor’s count was just north of 520,000 chips.
