Tom Koral completed, Tsong Lin raised, and Koral called. On fourth street, Lin bet and Koral called. On fifth street, Lin checked, Koral bet, and Lin called. On sixth street, Lin check-called another bet from Koral, and they both checked seventh street.
Lin showed for a pair of jacks, and that was good for the pot.
In one of the last hands of the night, Tsong Lin completed and Alexander Freund raised. Lin called and then checked on fourth street. Freund bet and Lin called. On fifth street, the betting lead changed to Freund and he bet out. Lin raised with three spades showing and Freund called.
On sixth street, Freund checked, Lin bet with four spades showing, and after a long pause, Freund called. On seventh street, Freund checked again and Lin bet again. Freund folded his hand and Lin collected another pot to extend his chip lead even further just before play concluded for the night.
Day 2 of Event #55: $1,500 Seven Card Stud began with 68 players remaining from the starting field of 298 players. After 10 levels on Thursday, only seven players remain in the hunt to capture a World Series of Poker bracelet and the first-place prize of $96,907.
On top of the chip counts is Tsong Lin with 791,000. In the middle of the pack when the field was down to three tables, Lin quietly ascended the counts. By the time the unofficial final table was reached, Lin was second in leaderboard. From there he went on an absolute tear, more than doubling his stack in the last level and a half of play to bag a sizable lead of 11 big bets. Yueqi Zhu is second in chips with 512,000, while Cheryl Denzik is third with 304,000. When the players redrew for seats at the final three tables, Denzik had only a half of a big bet. She ran that up into the chip lead within two levels before settling back into the pack a bit.
