The day’s entering chip leader Mark Reyes didn’t have as great of a day as he did at Day 1A. He watched his chips drop and eventually fell on the wayside on a flip against Roger Spets. Action began with utg+1 Reyes limping in, Yun Sheng Sun raised to 6500, bb Spets called, Reyes shoved, Sun folded, Spets called with more chips. Reyes wit Q-Q, Spets A-K, the board dropped a king on the flop and that ended Reyes’s day.
