Action was three ways with around 80,000 in the pot and {3-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Spades} on the board when Dan Bekavac checked. Tolga Gesli checked from the next seat over and Dylan Linde bet 24,000 with position. Bekavac folded and Gesli called to see {10-Hearts} on the turn.

Gesli checked the turn and called when Linde continued for 86,000. The river was {7-Diamonds}.

Both players checked the river and Gesli turned over {k-Spades}{9-Hearts} for a pair of nines, but Linde had {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} to take the pot.

Moreno Chipping Up

Matt Hansen
Matt Hansen
Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Nick Pupillo raised to 20,000 and Alexander Nachtwey called from the next seat over before Andrew Moreno raised to 82,000 from the cutoff. The button and blinds got out of the way and Pupillo called while Nachtwey got out of the way.

The flop was {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and Pupillo check-called a small bet from Moreno. The turn was {a-Hearts}.

Pupillo checked again and Moreno bet 100,000. It was too much for the Day 1c chip leader and he got away from it to give Moreno the pot.

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jackson Holtgraves was all in for around 60,000 and Jared Kingery was the one to go for the knockout.

Jackson Holtgraves: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Jared Kingery: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The board ran out {7-Clubs}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and the queens held to eliminate Holtgraves from the tournament in the opening levels of Day 2.

Kingery is looking for another deep run after his final table finish in this week's $1,100 MSPT Main Event.

Moreno Busts Barnum; MSPT Player of the Year Race Heats Up on Day 2

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Justin Barnum
Justin Barnum

It was reported to the PokerNews team that Justin Barnum is now out of the tournament after he was outdrawn by Johnnie Moreno in the early going. Barnum had just a few big blinds left when he got it all in.

Justin Barnum: {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Johnnie Moreno: {7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}

The board ran out {j-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and Moreno picked up an unlikely flush to end Barnum's day.

Meanwhile, Dan Bekavac is building a stack at the same table. Barnum and Bekavac are currently in the heat of this season's MSPT Player of the Year and they both trail Josh Reichard on the overall leaderboard. CJ Peake also remains in today's tournament with a chance to close the gap.

Here's a look at the standings prior to this week's MSPT Main Event double-billing:
