High Stakes Poker LIVE returned to the airwaves on PokerGO on Wednesday, bringing audiences the second of seven consecutive nights of high stakes, no-limit hold'em cash game action.
Sam Soverel, Jesse Lonis, Justin Gavri, Markus Gonsalves, and Johan 'YoH Viral' Guilbert returned to the PokerGO Studio – joined by newcomer Andrew 'Ace' Pacheco.
In comparison to yesterday's game, the battle on Day 2 was short-lived. After less than two hours, the stream came to an end – possibly a result of Pacheco's abrupt demise.
It was Guilbert who did the damage, taking all of Pacheco's chips in two hands. The $150,000 loss saw Pacheco offer up fist-bumps to his opponents before taking his leave.
With only five players remaining at the table, the game didn't last long after that.
If you want to watch the replay of Day 2, roll the tape below.
Pacheco's demise

Lonis begrudgingly tossed his cards into the muck, but Guilbert called instantly and the two players agreed to run it once with $223,400 in the middle – click the play button below to see how it shook out.
Guilbert took the rest of Pacheco's chips soon after with another well-laid trap. In the face of a raise from Pacheco and a three-bet from Lonis, Guilbert opted to flat call with 
from the small blind.
When the action was back on him, Pacheco sent his remaining $37,200 into the middle with

Again, they agreed to a single runout – and, again, no help came for Pacheco.
