Xiaohu Chen made it 60,000, Jerry Calvaneso re-popped to 150,000 and Chen made the call.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and after a Chen check, Calvaneso shipped it in for almost 320,000. Chen flipped over two jacks before acting. He was given a warning for exposing his hand, but after a good four minutes in the tank, he made the call.

Calvaneso held {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and blanked on the turn and the river to go broke seventh.

It was another 13 hour day of poker for Calvaneso with a much different result than his victory in Event #1 last night, but still an impressive two-day run for the Grand Island, NY native.
