Terrence Chan has been bleeding chips of late, with his hands rarely going to showdown. The blinds and limits are very high now and as such when a player commits just a few big bets, it is a large portion of their stack. Chan is currently one of the shorter stacks in the room.

Ayman Qutami has taken down a few pots recently to see his stack increase dramatically. We recently watched Qutami take down a pot a off Matthew Woodward that went a little something like this.
From under the gun, Qutami raised it up and Woodward three-bet out of the small blind. Qutami called and a 
flop was dealt. Woodward checked and Qutami bet. A call and a 
on the turn would see Woodward again check and Qutami again bet. Wooward called and a 
fell on the river. This time when Woodward checked and Qutami bet, Woodward would go deep into the tank. It's not often that the clock gets called on a player in a limit event, but that's what happened here as Woodward had one minute to act. Eventually he decided to fold and sent the pot to Qutami.

The eliminations have been flying fast during this second level of play today, with Kenneth Shei the latest addition to the rail. The last hand of Shei's night started when Terrence Chan opened up the pot from under the gun. Shei was in middle position and made it three-bets to go. Back on Chan and he made it four-bets. Shei made the call and a 
flop was dealt.
At this point Shei had less then a big bet left and got the remainder of his stack in on the flop. Chan's 
was in great shape against Shei's as he Shei would need some help. It was help that would never come as the turn () and the river () would see Shei sent home in 14th place.
