Let's Move On To Tuesday
That's a wrap for Day 2 of the World Poker Tour Rolling Thunder Main Event here at Thunder Valley.
Starting with 152 players, we burned through all but the last 13% of the field, leaving just 18 to move on to Tuesday's Day 3.
Among those advancing is Taylor Paur, the champ from the last WPT stop over at Bay 101 Casino in San Jose. If Paur takes this down it means just two people, Paur and Anthony Zinno, have won the last 4 WPT stops, as Zinno went back-to-back at Fallsview and the LAPC.
We'll be here with all the action tomorrow, and we'll have official chipcounts plus the table draw for the final 3 tables, in just a few moments.
Don't forget to watch the LiveStream final table starting at 12:30pm Wednesday (30 minute delay, so stay away from Twitter to keep Spoilers At Bay at twitch.tv/worldpokertour

Hollywood Gets Chips From Douglas
The flop came out 44Jdd and @Kellyd7127 Douglas lead out into @Jeff_Lennon for 4400.
Lennon didn't hesitate long before putting the rest of his chip in the middle, causing Douglas to back up a bit and think this one out.
Douglas and 'Hollywood' are friends who know one another from playing on the northern California/northern Nevada poker circuit, so both know the other's tendencies to bet big, bet the nuts, and also to push others off hands.
Douglas eventually decides to lay his hand down, and Hollywood flashes KdKh.
The look on Douglas' face showed that Hollywood was good.

Fernandez Bluffs Hall
Joe Fernandez, owner of @TurlockPoker in central California, moves all in preflop into the bigger stck of Galen Hall, stands up behind his chair and watches as the dealer counts out his stack of about 75,000.
Hall doesn't exactly tank, but he is working through a lot of scenarios in his head.
"Show one (card) if I show one?" he asks Fernanadez, a laugh in his voice as he asks.
"I would rather you call and I will show you both cards," says Fernandez, with a big grin on his face. "But you are not ahead," counters Hall.
About 45 seconds go by, Hall slides his chips off his cards, hesitates, and releases the cards.
Fernandez reaches over before sitting down and flips over AJ offsuit.
Hall tosses his head back and laughs, a clear tone of a grimace in that voice.
"Like I said, you were not ahead," said Hall
"Of course I was not ahead," laughed Fernandez as a few at the table also join in the chuckles.
Hall doesn't exactly tank, but he is working through a lot of scenarios in his head.
"Show one (card) if I show one?" he asks Fernanadez, a laugh in his voice as he asks.
"I would rather you call and I will show you both cards," says Fernandez, with a big grin on his face. "But you are not ahead," counters Hall.
About 45 seconds go by, Hall slides his chips off his cards, hesitates, and releases the cards.
Fernandez reaches over before sitting down and flips over AJ offsuit.
Hall tosses his head back and laughs, a clear tone of a grimace in that voice.
"Like I said, you were not ahead," said Hall
"Of course I was not ahead," laughed Fernandez as a few at the table also join in the chuckles.

The Poker Roller Coaster
The Swings of No Limit Holdem can be Vicious, just ask Kelly Douglas.
In a hand early in day 1b Kelly was involved in a hand where his opponent 4 bet shoved allin with AJcc vs Kelly's AdAh flop comes A7J giving Kelly top set vs top 2 pair and a 99.9% favorite to win the hand. J on the turn gives his opponent life with 1 out, only the last J in the deck will beat Kelly's made Full house.... guess what, You guessed it, river J gives quad J's vs the AAAJJ Full house dropping Kelly to 6k.
By dinner break Kelly had recovered to 28K, just under the starting stack of 30K. Early in level 8 the 1 seat opens the pot, Kelly flats and the big blind reraises, kelly calls, flop comes Q75, action is to Kelly he checks BB raises to 1,600, Kelly makes it 5,600, BB makes it 15,000 Kelly shoves and BB calls, BB shows KQ for top pair Kelly shows 55 for bottom set, turn is a 5 giving Kelly quad 5's and sealing the victory and elevating him to just over 60K in chips.
So be sure to fasten your seat belt and prepare for one wicked ride when playing No Limit Texas Holdem.

JC Tran out of WPT Rolling Thunder Main Event
No repeat for JC Tran, for the second time today JC ran JJ into QQ.
Player from middle position shoves allin for his last 7K, JC reshoves from the button for 15K.
The short stack shows QQ vs JJ of JC board runs out 4783Q giving the short stack QQQ.
JC is left with around 8K, shortly after was all in preflop with 5-5, and he needs his hand to hold to stay alive against his opponent's A-K.
The board comes K-K-K-A-6, and Tran's opponent flops quad kings to eliminate Tran from the tournament. (WPT team)
