Huge swings for FA_Morgoth and kernassi

FA_Morgoth (pictured left) started his Day 2B really strongly and by dinner break was among the top 10 chip leaders in the field. He had grown his starting stack of around 85,000 chips to over 200,000 chips. However, by the time it came around to start bagging chips, FA_Morgoth was left with a much less imposing stack of 132,200.

kernassi also suffered a similar fate as he ended with over 50,000 chips less than his peak chip count of around 170,000. In the final hand of the night, he picked up A-A, but instead of adding to his stack, he lost about a third of it after an opponent called him down three streets with a turned flush.

Allanon and PokerNoob were two of the PokerStrategists who were sent to the rails on Day 2B. For Allanon, his day never quite took off and he was eliminated in the first couple of levels of the day. PokerNoob meanwhile flopped the nut straight and a royal flush draw holding on an A-J-T flop. He improved to a flush on the turn and the money went in on the river, but unfortunatly his opponent had the nut flush with .

All players will be taking a short one day break after Day 2B. Day 3 will resume on Monday. All 22 remaining PokerStrategists will be joining the 2,600 or so survivors from Day 2A and 2B.
