Players Remaining: 34
Chip Average: 1,000,000

Ettenger has now assumed the position that Liu was just in, holding close to 2,000,000.

Players Remaining: 40

We were looking for Sean's chip count going into the day, but could not find his name anywhere on the paperwork. Reason being…Sean was one of the nine players to buy in this morning with eight big blinds. Wright tripled up with kings only three hands into the day, and has since continued on the upward trend. He now has over 1,100,000 and is seemingly free rolling from where he started the day.

Level 16 (Blinds 2,500/5,000/500)
Players Remaining: 117
Chip Average: 294,000
We walked over to Table 50 as a hand between Mike Dentale and Day 1A chip leader Henry Guttman was on the river. The pot was about 150,000, and the board was 8 4 6 8 2. Guttman had put out a 38,000 river bet, which Dentale raised to 100,000. Henry three-bet all-in (having Dentale covered), and Mike was in the tank for about four minutes talking the hand through. He made it known that he had a full house, but was convinced that he may of been beat.
Mike counted out his chips to see what he would be left if he was to fold, and also did some talking to Guttman (but would get no reaction). Dentale would eventually make the call and see Guttman table pocket fours (turned full house). Mike showed 22 (rivered full house), and exited the tournament area at a swift pace.

| Henry Guttman |
We walked over to Table 50 as a hand between Mike Dentale and Day 1A chip leader Henry Guttman was on the river. The pot was about 150,000, and the board was 8 4 6 8 2. Guttman had put out a 38,000 river bet, which Dentale raised to 100,000. Henry three-bet all-in (having Dentale covered), and Mike was in the tank for about four minutes talking the hand through. He made it known that he had a full house, but was convinced that he may of been beat.
Mike counted out his chips to see what he would be left if he was to fold, and also did some talking to Guttman (but would get no reaction). Dentale would eventually make the call and see Guttman table pocket fours (turned full house). Mike showed 22 (rivered full house), and exited the tournament area at a swift pace.
Big Stax 500 (Day 2): Like Son, Like Father
Level 16 (Blinds 2,500/5,000/500)
Players Remaining: 128
At Table 55 sits Milton Jaffee, father of Jared Jaffee, who final tabled the Big Stax II ($1,500) last May. Jared was talking about the cash coming at a good time before he headed off to Vegas only a few months later. Jared then went on to win close to $800,000 since, which included a WPT win in Jacksonville and another WPT final table at the Borgata.
