We caught the action with a board reading 
two players all-in. Meg McCormick, who informed me that her name was indeed spelled just like the spice company, flipped up her 
for a flopped set.
This was enough to dispatch her opponent, who had turned a lower set with and found himself on the wrong end of this set-over-set confrontation.
McCormick now sits with just over 7,400 chips and is in a strong position at her table.
Halfway through level two total registration has reached 4,099 players. That means nearly 2,000 players are in the field today and we're nearing last years total of 4,345.
Registration will remain open until the end of the 4th level so there is still plenty of time for more players to join in the fun!
With the board reading 
Ronnie Bardah put out a bet of 725. The player in the hijack opted to call and Bardah showed 
for a straight which was good enough to win the pot.
We spotted Ted Forrest in the field but unfortunately it was as he was involved in his last hand of the day.
With the board reading 
, Forrest raised to 600 under the gun and the player in the cutoff re-raised to 2,300. Forrest only had around 2,000 left in his stack so if he called it would be for his tournament life.
Forrest did eventually make the call and the other player showed the 
for the nut flush and Forrest was eliminated from the tournament.
We caught up with the action as Ozawa Masaki flipped up his 
in an all-in confrontation against an opponent holding 
.
The dealer revealed a flop of 
and Masaki's kings had held so far. The turn brought the 
and the gracious Japanese player was one card away from a double-up.
River: 
Masaki faded the three aces in the deck and eliminated a player from his table, doubling up to approximately 5,500 chips in the process.
With the board reading 
Harley Stoffmaker bet 500 and Chris Tryba raised enough to put Stoffmaker all in. Stoffmaker called and revealed his 
for two pair and was up against Tryba's 
for an open-ended straight flush draw. The turn was a blank but the river brought the 
giving Tryba a flush and sending Stoffmaker to the rail.

We heard two players in the midst of a heated discussion and looked over to see a board of 
, with a large pile of chips in the middle of the table. Alan Larson had his 
flipped up for a flopped set, and his opponent was desperately pleading his case to the dealer and anyone else who would listen.
Apparently, after a bet of 475 by Larson, the unnamed opponent had gone all-in and mistakenly thought he saw Larson fold his hand. The unnamed opponent, believing he has won the pot, tossed his cards towards the muck as well and waited for the dealer to push the chips his way.
Unfortunately for him, Larson had not mucked and his sixes were there for all to see. The unnamed opponent claimed vociferously that he had held the nut flush and begged the dealer to retrieve his hand. Larson showed no mercy however and said "we all know the rules kid, if you had it you would have turned it over." A floorman was called over and much to the dismay of the unnamed player, his hand was declared dead, as it had touched the muck. We may never know if he truly held two spades in his hand and the player was sent to the rail with the baddest of bad-beat stories.
Larson doubled-up on the hand and now sits with 6,975 chips.
