After a long heads up battle and a final table featuring multiple lead changes, the night is finally over and Juan Campayo Hernandez has defeated Kenna James to take down the $60,250 and the PokerAtlas trophy. Second place finisher James will get $42,490, a fine payday for two days work! 

With blinds at 75,000/150,000, Hernandez raised the button to 400,000 and James called. The flop was 6s 4h 7d and after James checked, Hernandez bet and James called.

The turn was the Qs and the two quickly got all-in. James flipped over Qh 3c for top pair, but was behind and covered when Hernandez showed 74o for two pair. The river brought a harmless Jd and Hernandez shook James hand, celebrated with his rail, and collected his trophy. 

James has over four million dollars in tournament winnings, while Hernandez more than doubled his lifetime winnings with the first place prize money.

Congratulations to all of our winners and a heartfelt thanks to Resorts World and Justin Hammer and the rest of the staff that helped create an amazing experience for our players. We look forward to seeing many of you in Thunder Valley May 11th to 20th for our next big series!

Hermanth Kumar busted with A8o all-in against Campayo Hernandez KQs when Hernandez ran out a heart flush to send Kumar home in fourth. Soon after Joel Baker got all-in against Hernandez Aces with a flush and gutshot straight draw on the turn. Hernandez aces held up and Baker was out in third. 

Hernandez has about ten million while his heads up opponent Kenna James has almost seven million. 

Hermanth Kumar has been grinding a short stack for hours and he finally found a hand worth playing. Kumar raised preflop and was called by Kenna James. The flop was 3h7d3d and Kumar went all-in for his last five big blinds. James called with A8 and Kumar showed AhQh. The board ran out clean and Kumar doubled to 1,200,000 and knocking James down to around 2,700,000. 

We are down to four handed as Kenna James busted Orion Gallagher a few hands after we came back from break. James raised and Gallagher shoved all-in with KTs, but James called with AQ and it held to send Gallagher to the payouts window. 

Coming back from break here at Resorts World we have full chip counts for our five remaining players. 

Campay Hernandez: 5,020,000

Joel Baker: 3,775,000

Hermanth Kumar: 2,895,000

Kenna James: 2,545,000

Orion Gallagher: 2,510,000

Kevin Theodore is our sixth place finisher after shoving AQ from the small blind for 410,000 and getting called by Campay Henrnandez in the big blind. The odds were in Theodore's favor preflop when Hernendaz flipped over Qd8d, but the board ran out with two eights to give Hernandez trips and send Theodore to the rail. 

Campay now has the chip lead with over five million and a good chunk of the total chips in play. 

Kenna James has crossed the three million mark after busting Steven Consiglieri with a straight vs a pair of treys. 

Patrick Truong busts Kim Joon with K9 vs AA in the blinds and we have reached our final table!

1.  Patrick Truong - 1,100,000
2. Orion Gallagher - 3,300,000
3. Kevin Theodore - 300,000
4. Campay Hernandez - 2,700,000

After a double up from Kevin Theodore and a nice pot won by Consiglieri, the stacks look like this coming back from break. 

Kim Joon shoved from teh small blind with Patrick Truong in the big blind. Truong called with A7o and flopped an ace to survive against Kim's KQo. Truong now has a little over half a million while Kim is down to a little more than a quarter of a million. 

We haven't lost a player or seen a full double up in almsot two hours, but we have had some fun hands. 

----------------------------------

In one had, James Baker limped under the gun for 80,000, Gallagher and Hernandez called behind, and Kenna James raised to 400,000 from the big blind. Only Baker made the call. 

James lead out for 600,000, almsot a third of his stack, on a board of 2sTh5s and Baker quickly raised to 1,300,000. James thoguht for quite some time before folding, and looked pleased with himself after Baker showed a ten for top pair. 

----------------------------------

Another hand saw the aggressive Hernandez raise the button and Baker call the big blind. On a KKJ flop Hernandez bet 100,000 and Baker called. The turn was a 6 and Baker lead for 100,000. Hernandez looked confused by the lead, but eventually called. 

On a river 9, both players checked and Baker lost with 73o vs Hernandez 33. 

 ----------------------------------

A big pot also played out between Hernandez and Baker a few minutes later when Hernandez raised the button and Baker called from the big blind. Hern bet the 356 flop and Baker called. The turn was a king, Hernandez bet bigger and again Baker called. 

When another king fell on the river, Baker lead out for the same bet Hernandez had made on the turn, 350,000. Hernandez raised to 1,200,000 and Baker tanked before folding. Hernandez showed K5 for a full house. 

-----------------------------------

Hernandez and Baker have most of the chips, while Kenna James is still fighting and Kumar and Gallagher have been quiet. 

Campay Hernandez is our chip leader after winning a nice pot from Joel Baker to get to three and a half million. Baker still has a top five stack with over two million. 

Hernandez opened from early position and Baker defend from the cutoff seat. After a check on the flop from Hernandez, Baker bet small on a 968 flop. Another small card on the turn brought another bet from Baker and a check-raise from Hernandez. Baker folded and Hernandez added a few hundred thousand to his already enormous stack. 

Patrick Truong opened the cutoff seat for 50,000 at 15,000/25,000/25,000 and Potts defend the big blind. On a 356 flop Potts check-raised all-in and Truong made the call with A6. Potts had the nuts with 24 and doubled up to about 300,000. A few hands later Potts was seen heading to the payout window, so the double up was just a short reprieve. Truong is still fighting with over 300,000. 

Michael Pitcher survived all-in against Joon Kim with Ad7d against Kim's AA when the board ran out with four tens giving both players quads with an ace kicker. Pitcher still has a long way to go home with 160,000 as one of the shortest stacks, but he still has his chips and his chair and we know how that can go. 

Action is heating up and bustouts are coming fast now in our massive title event. Here are the chip counts coming back from our second break. 

Vegas resident David Gutfreund, with well over a million in tournament winnings, won't be adding much to that total after a rough hand against Steven Consiglieri. The two were in the blinds and Consiglileri limped the small blind for 20,000. Gutfreund raised to 65,000 and Consiglieri made the call.

On a Q64 flop Gutfreund bet 25,000 and Consiglieri made the call. 

The turn was an ace. Consiglieri checked, Gutfreund bet 90,000, and Consiglieri made the call.

The river was an offsuit four, Consiglieri checked, and Gutfreund shoved all-in for his last 200,000. Consiglieri made the call and showed A8 for top pair, while Gutfreund showed J3 for a failed bluff and was out. 

Yaron Malki shoved all-in with a short stack from the cutoff seat and was called by Yemanth Kumar. Malki showed KJo and couldn't catch up to Kumar's QQ. Malki had just a few more chips, so Kumar is back in the hunt and Malki is on fumes. 

Tim Pai was getting short, down to his last eight big blinds with 135,000, when he opened AQ from the cutoff seat. Robert Van Hoosen put him all-in from the big blind and Pai called. Van Hoosen showed A8o and Pai's AQ held up for the win and the double up. 

After getting all-in preflop with a pair of tens, tournament pro Ryan Tosoc was way behind Benjamin Craig's queens. The runout didn't help and Tosoc was out. Craig is now among the chip leaders with around a million in his stack. 

Some chip stack updates after our first break of the day. We have thirty-two players remaining. 

Action is furious on day two so far, with chips moving around the tables and stacks growing as players bust out. 

In a recent hand, Steven Consiglieri raised 15,000 from early position and was called by actor and poker pro Kenna James who was in the small blind. The flop was all small cards, and James checked and called a bet of 20,000. 

The turn was another small card and James checked again. When Consiglieri bet 35,000, James check-raised to 85,000 and Consiglieri made the call. James bet 90,000 on another small card river and Consiglieri made the call again. 

"Good call," James said, and Consiglieri turned over two aces to win the pot.
