Chris 'Domino' Authement (pictured) started Day 2 as the chip leader but hit a rough patch near the bubble against Jeff Kester. A table change seems to be doing Authement some good as he picked up a sizable pot against former chip leader Ben Warlock.
Warlock checked the 9♠9♦5♥ flop to Authement, who bet 28,000. Warlock check-raised to 125,000 and Authement shoved for 275,000 total. It didn't take long for Warlock to fold and Authement is back over 400,000.
