Day 2 Chip Leader Joins the Rail as Ernesto Panno Takes the Chip Lead
The Day 2 chip leader Hugo Spangenberg had a rough first couple of levels. He lost nearly half his stack in small pots and now his day has come to an end at the hands of Ernesto "Flacco" Panno, who just recently finished 4th in the PokerStars Festival Uruguay Main Event.
We caught his final hand on the flop with the board showing 
and roughly 40,000 already in the pot. Action was on Spangenberg first and he checked over to Panno. Panno put out a bet of 22,000. Spangenberg reraised, making it 100,000 to go. Panno quickly moved all in and Spangenberg called off the rest of his stack which was about 240,000.
Panno: 
Spangenberg: 
The turn was the 
giving Panno the unbeatable full house and that would be the end for Spangenberg who hit his flush on the 
river anyways. With that the Day 2 chip leader hit the rail leaving the field with just 11 players.
