The rich are getting richer here on Day 2.
We picked up the last pot as Robert Toye was opening to 8,500 from the cutoff seat. In the big blind, chip leader Mario Silvestri three-bet to 22,500, and Toye came along as the only caller. The dealer spread out 
, and Toye called another bet of 25,000 from the big stack. On the 
turn, Silvestri bet 42,500, and that finally shook Toye off his hand.
With that pot, Silvestri has climbed over a big milestone. He sits with 535,000 chips now, holding a big lead over the chase pack.
