Fuchs Folds; Lives Chops, & Whitaker Among the Early Day 2 Casualties
Carol Fuchs was in the big blind and defended against an open raise and a call. On the 
flop, Fuchs check-called and then check-folded the 
turn when Brian Lives bet again and Sirous Baghchehsaraie called. After the 
river, Lives check-called the all-in of his table neighbor and they chopped it with 
(Aces-up) versus 
(nut low).
One hand later, Jeffrey Whitaker was all-in from the cutoff and earned calls on the button and big blind. The big blind got it in after the 
flop and was called by Michael Chow.
Jeffrey Whitaker: 
(one pair and straight draw)
Big blind: 
(bigger pair, flopped nut low with straight draw)
Michael Chow: 
(flopped flush)
The 
turn and 
river were already meaningless as Whitaker's elimination was confirmed on the turn, while the big blind escaped for half the pot with the nut low.
