Xian Xiao entered Day 2 as the chip leader but failed to reach the money having just been axed by Gabriel Carter. The hand that did it began with a raise by Xiao to 11k, db Carter and bb Michael Soyza called.
At the flop J♠ 9♣ K♠, Xiao bet 16k, Carter called, and Soyza check-folded. On the 3♠ turn, Xiao moved all in and after assessing the board for some time, Carter laid out the call.
Xiao K♦ K♥ set
Carter J♥ 10♠
The river A♠ improved Carter to a flush and that was it for Xiao. Carter climbs to 362K.
