Here's a Story, of a Man Named Brady
Jun 08, '07
The remaing 20 players returned from their dinner break to find one player in the field, Matt Brady, involved in an argument with tournament officials. Visibly upset and agitated, Brady was involved with tournament officials over a dispute in his chip stack. Before dinner the $500 chips were colored up and in this process tournament officials came to the conclusion that Brady had been given $75,000 too much. Brady was adamant that he left for dinner with $332,000 and now he had only $260,000. Tournament officials reviewed the tape from the security cameras and ruled that Brady did indeed have an extra $75,000 in his stack. When asked if he could review the tape personally, Brady was denied. Left with no options but still not in agreement, Brady took his seat and began to play. Brady made some good moves and built his stack back up to over $300,000.
In just one short hour since returning from dinner, the field is down to 14 players at three tables. Christoffer Stahle was heads up against Farzad Fadai on the river with the board showing 9

After having aces numerous times throughout the day, the deck continued to hit Stahle in the face a few hands later. With the blinds at $4,000-$8,000 David Mitchell-Lolis pushed all in for $107,000. Stahle made the call and showed K

The day two chip leader, J.C. Tran was eliminated in 15th place when he got involved in a hand against Joe Awada. Awada called Tran's all in bet with pocket aces and Tran's hand never improved.
