Level 2 : 0/0, 1,000 ante

The number of entries has grown to 21, 15 of whom still remain in contention and these 15 are now on their first 15-minute break of the day.

However, just before they headed off we caught a huge pot that played out between Jason Koon and Gabe Patgorski the saw the former decimate the latter's stack.

We picked up the action on a flop of with 86,000 already in the pot just as Koon (big blind) led out for 65,000. Patgorski shoved from the button and Koon called immediately.

Gabe Patgorski:

Unfortunately for Patgorski the turn gave Koon the nut straight, with the river completing the hand. When stacks were counted down Patgorski discovered he still had chips, just not that many and dropped to 20,000 while Koon climbed to 750,000.
