Earlier in the day we lost Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang. We have now seen the last of Angel Guillen as he has recently been eliminated from the tournament.
Guillen's final moments saw him all in preflop holding . Guillen's one opponent was in front with and by the time the board had been spread on the felt, it was all over for Guillen.
Vesko Zmukic has just given all of his chips to Dale Marsland. It was a classic race for Zmukic, with his going up against Marsland's .
Unfortunately it was all downhill for Zmukic from the flop as the dealer turned over . The turn and the river changed nothing for Zmukic as he fell to the might of Marsland's set.
With that, Marsland is one of the big stacks with around 140,000.
We have just received word that last year's ANZPT Queenstown champion Dave Allan has seen his tournament life come to an end. Apparently Allan ran his into the of an opponent and with no help on the board, it was all over.
Jesse McKenzie managed to move over 200,000 during today's action, but has now fallen under 100,000. Plenty of those chips went the way of Emilio Triunfo, who recently almost tripled up.
The hand in question began when a middle position player moved all in for 13,000. Folded to Triunfo in the small blind, he called, leaving himself with around 30,000 behind. McKenzie was in the big blind and slid out enough 5,000-denomination chips to put Triunfo all in. Triunfo made a quick call.
"Well played," said McKenzie as Triunfo tabled his cards.
Triunfo:
McKenzie:
Middle Position:
"I'll probably win," said McKenzie in jest.
Unfortunately McKenzie wouldn't have his way though, with a board ensuring that Triunfo scooped up the pot, one player was eliminated and a dent was put in McKenzie's stack.
Below is how some of the remaining players are faring here on Day 2 of the ANZPT Perth Main Event. As you can see, Pawel Zawadowicz has made a surge towards the chip lead, while Jesse McKenzie is still out in front.
Tristan Bain started Day 2 with plenty of chips and has since managed to see his stack hit six figures. A recent hand involving Bain started when a player opened the button to 1,900. Bain called out of the big blind and the dealer flipped over a flop.
Bain check-called a bet of 4,300 and a hit the turn. Bain once again check-called, this time a bet of 7,700. When the completed the board on the river, Bain opted to again check and his opponent would bet 13,000. Bain ended up calling, at which point his opponent tapped the table as he turned over for a whole lot of nothing.
Bain's for two-pair was strong to scoop up the pot.
