Ory Hen (Cooper City, FL)

Of the players that bought it this afternoon, Ory Hen (Cooper City, FL) is the only one that remains active.  While he was treading water for the first hour of the day, he was able to keep his stack above the 30,000 he started the day with, and doubled up over 100,000 just moments ago. 

Hen open shoved for his remaining 46,000, and was called by Kevin Grabel, who was in the small blind.  When the cards were tabled, it would be Hen holding a strong lead with 7♥ 7♠ over Grabel's 4♠ 4♣.  The dealer would run out a board of 8♠ 6♥ 5♠ 8♣ 6♣, and Hen would earn the double, and little more breathing room.

While that hand was unfolding, Chad Eveslage (Ramsey, IN) was eliminated from Day 2 play.  At the end of this (20 minutes), players will be going on their first break of the day, and will return to Level 15 (2,000/4,000/500).  Also eliminated from play just moments ago was Anathasios Polychronopoulos.
