Day 2
Poker Gods Give Quang Dinh a Double Up
Quang DinhVietnamese Quang Dinh opened from middle-position and got three-bet by Chudapal Siarhei on the button. Dinh responded with a four-bet jam with his 312,000. Siarhei quickly called, covering Dinh whose tournament life was in big danger.
Quang Dinh: A♦ Q♦
Chudapal Siarhei: A♣ K♥
The flop came out K♠ T♠ 8♠ , giving Dinh's hopes four outs. The 4♠ turn gave him additional chop-outs to stay alive. The J♣ river must have felt like a gift from god for Dinh who is now sitting with a comfortable stack nearing the end of Day 2.

Choong Loses the Coin Flip
Yita Choong opened under the gun to 20,000 and was called by Hai Phong Nguyen in the next seat. Chudapal Siarhei, sitting in the under-the-gun +2 position, then jammed all-in for his tournament life. Choong called, while Nguyen folded, leaving the two players to face off.
Chudapal Siarhei: A♥ J♠
Yita Choong: 9♠ 9♦
It was a classic coin flip, and Siarhei was hoping to come out on top. The flop came 2♠ 2♦ 5♠ , keeping Choong in the lead with his pair of nines. The turn 6♣ and the river K♦ didn’t change the outcome, eliminating Siarhei from the tournament.

Cao Ngoc is Back in the Game
After losing 75% of his starting stack Cao Ngoc just doubled up and again has a decent stack to play with. Hoang limped from early-position, Jack Moore made it 1,800 which got called by Mason Griffin on the button, and Chudapal Siarhei in the small-blind, before Cao Ngoc in the big-blind put his 12,000 chips into the middle. Everybody, except Siarhei folded and Ngoc got a chance to build his stack back up again.
Cao Ngoc: K♠ T♥
Chudapal Siarhei: 7♥ 7♠
The board ran out favorable for Ngoc as it came A♣ K♦ T♦ J♣ 3♠ . Ngoc is back in the game!
