| Bill Farnan could only sit and smile after Thalas exited the table, as he was gifted a pot that was worth close to 400,000...on the stone bubble...with pocket kings. |
From chip leader to out on the bubble...in a matter of just over a level. Jason Thalas had lost a close to 900,000 pot to Santana Noronha (during hand-for-hand play), and two hands later, he would open from early position to 15,000. Santana made the call, with players folding around to Bill Farnan. Farnan three-bet to 60,000, and when action returned to Thalas, he would shove for close to 180,000. Santana released, and Farnan quickly made the call:
Thalas: 9♣ 7♣
Farnan: K♠ K♣
Runout: J♠ 2♥ K♥ Q♥ 8♠
"He just had no break," the players said at the table, after Thalas quickly walked away. With no other play eliminated on the same hand, Jason became the last Event #6 player (Day 2) to walk away empty handed.
Bill Farnan - 710,000 (177bb)

| Jason Thalas (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) may live in Florida now, but most of his poker career was spent between Las Vegas and California. |
Jason Thalas (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) came into the day second in chips, but has since trended upwards over the first (40) minutes of play, and is now the Day 2 chip leader (715,000). Thalas has over $200,000 in lifetime tournament earnings, a majority of which was earned on the left coast. Jason has (70) total recorded results on Hendon Mob, only two of which came here in Florida. It's been close to three years since Thalas booked a cash here at the Isle Poker Room, but he's all but a shoe-in to grab his second result here today.

| Steven Bennett is just a week removed from a multi-flight tournament win, as he took down the $130 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD) that was hosted at Hard Rock last week/weekend. |
Day 2 got started just a few moments ago, with the cards in the air for Level 12. For those that don't remember (or weren't aware), Flight 1B reached the 10% mark during Level 12, so that is where they stopped play for the day. That means today's action picks up at that point, with levels lasting (40) minutes. That's great for the shorter stacked players, as their play just got a little deeper than expected, as Day 2 was scheduled to resume with blinds of 2,500/5,000/5,000.
Steven Bennett (pictured above) is the overall chip leader entering the day, returning to a stack of 563,000. Bennett has tons of experience in this spot, and would have to be considered one of the favorites in the field, to reach the Event #6 final table.
Steven Bennett - 563,000 (281bb)
Sunday, October 21st: Ready To Crown An Event #6 Champion, As Day 2 Resumes At 12:00PM
ICYMI: As expected, yesterday's pair of Event #6 flight drew the largest crowds, with Flight 1G and Flight 1H attracting a combined total of (197) entries. From that total, (20) players successfully bagged chips for today's Day 2. We saw Steven Bennet bag the overall Day 2 chip lead, stuffing 563,000 into his bag, during the Flight 1G bagging process. Erik Nomberg packed away 450,000 at the end of Flight 1H, which is good for the fifth largest stack overall, when play resumes this afternoon.
Event #6 will resume at 12:00pm this afternoon, as the (59) Day 2 players look to earn their share of the $162,600 prize pool. While those that min-cash in the event will earn $790, all eyes are on the $33,830 that's up top. The top four payouts are all scheduled to earn five-figure scores, so it will be interesting to see how things play out towards the end of the tournament.
Tournaments: At 12:00pm, the (59) players that bagged chips for the Event #6 ($360 No Limit Hold'em $100,000 GTD) Day 2 will return, ready to play down to a winner. Action will resume in Level 12 (blinds 1,000/2,000/2,000), which was the point that Flight 1B stopped for the night (as the field reached the 10% mark). Day 2 levels will last (40) minutes, staying that way through the conclusion of the tournament.
The Isle Open schedule continues in the evening, with Event #7 ($130 No Limit Hold'em "Turbo Bounty" $5,000 GTD) getting underway at 6:00pm. The tournament is structured with 20,000 unit starting stacks, (15) minute levels, and registration that's open through Level 10 (and the break that follows). There is a $25 bounty for each player elimination, which is included in the prize pool, and counts towards the guarantee.

Promotions: The high hand period runs from 10:00am-12:00am, with the opportunity to win $400 every (30) minutes. During that period, the promotion sees tournament players eligible each half-hour for $100 high hands, 2/2 limit hold'em players eligible for $200 high hands, 2/4 limit hold'em players eligible for $300 high hands, and all other raked games (1/2-5/10 NLH, 4/8 Omaha 8B, 6/12 O.E., etc.) eligible for $400 high hands. From 12:00am-3:00am, players are eligible for $100 high hands every hour.
It should also be noted that players are able to win the high hand using only one card in their hand. The payouts for those that use one card are different than the standard numbers listed above, and can be found (full listing of one-card payouts on flyers in the poker room).
