Kim Graham was the runner-up in the last Main Event on the PPT and he made Day 2 once again here this time around. His day ended a little earlier this time, however, when Ali Khani raised the cutoff to 18k, then snapped it off when Graham shoved a smaller stack.

Graham was dominated with ace-six into ace-king, and while the dealer originally thought it was a chopped pot, the king played for Khani to take it and send Graham to the rail for 33rd place today. There are about 30 minutes to play in Level 17 before the first break of Day 2.

If this was a cash game, the bad beat jackpot likely would have just been paid out. MOney went in on the flop with Nathan Masih on quad tens but Johnny Dalphond open-ended to the straight flush with ten-jack-queen-king of clubs. The table erupted with “Wow!” when the A♣ came on the river to give Dalphond the Royal and the double up.

Meanwhile, on another table Ottawa moving magnate Marc Lavergne hit the rail for 34th place today.

Level:	16 (3000/6000/6000)

They are down to 35 left now with the exits of Ron Lauzon, Mal Hagan, and Chad Horseman with Horseman as the first player in the pay jump to $2,190. There are about 15 minutes remaining in Level 16.

There were a few very short stacks to start the day today, and among them were Thomas Taylor and Kevin Voyer. The mixed-game specialist, Taylor, was the first player to hit the rail today for a min-cash of $1,810 and Kevin Voyer followed him out of the room shortly afterward.

Day 2 is set with 40 players returning, and 1a chip leader Sen Vijataratnam leading the way by more than 300k. The second stack for Day 2 will be Day 1b leader Jatinder Brar with Colten Yamagishi, Garry Sandhu, and Steve Chung, all from 1b, rounding out the top five stacks.

Day 2 gets underway at noon on Sunday but players are asked to be in the room by 11:45 so the bags can be opened on time. They’ll start play at the end of Level 15 with less than 2 minutes remaining on the clock.

Play is expected to finish on Sunday, but depending on how late things go, the tournament director reserves the right to stop the game and bring the remaining players back for a Day 3 on Monday if required.
