Oh Dear, O'Dea!

Chad Holloway

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

After a player had opened for 6,000 from the hijack, former World Series of Poker November Niner Eoghan O'Dea moved all in from the cutoff for 50,000. Action then folded to Steve Goodridge in the big blind, he called, and the original raiser got out of the way.

O'Dea:
Goodridge:

It was a bad spot for the Irishman, and the flop was about as dry as can be. O'Dea stood in preparation for his exit, but he paused when the turned, meaning he could still win with either a jack or queen on the river. The dealer burned one last time and put out the . It wasn't what O'Dea needed and he made a beeline out the door without looking back.

Wong His Way To Another Final Table?

Happy_Freaked

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

First all, the title above was "Jay Tan approved."

"You should keep it, I think it's hilarious," Tan said after seeing what your reporter was writing about her boyfriend.

Kenny Wong finished second last year to Oliver Speidel and took home a cool million Australian dollars. This year's doing very well on Day 2 with good chances to make another deep run. We just watched Wong take another good nice pot which bumped his stack over the 300,000-chip mark.

We saw that Wong had put in a re-raise to 25,000 and David Tan was his only caller. The other preflop action was unknown to us.

The flop brought out and both players checked. On the turn the hit and Yan bet 45,000, Wong called. The river brought the and Yan check-folded to a 40,000-chip bet. Wong is doing great and the third day seems to be within reach.

Mervin Chan led out for a bet on a flop of , Tony Bloom moved all in for what looked like 73,000, and the action folded back to Chan, who called.

Chan:
Bloom:

The turn was the , giving Chan a flush, but Bloom could still double with a ten or four on the river.

The river was a repeat eight - the - however, and Bloom was eliminated.

Shak's Jack Attack

Chad Holloway

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Adam Carlton opened for 8,800 under the gun and was met by a three-bet to 35,000 from Dan Shak, who was sitting to his immediate left. Action folded back around to Carlton and he eyed up Shak's remaining stack of 95,500 before announcing that he was all in. Shak snap-called and it was off to the races.

Carlton:
Shak:

Neither remained focused on the board as the dealer put down the flop. It was safe for Shak, as was the turn. All he needed to do was dodge an ace and king on the river to double, and that's just what he did as the harmless reared it's head.

Meanwhile, Dejan Pustoslemsek, who had been nursing a short stack the majority of Day 2, has been eliminated from the tournament.

The flop fell , and both players checked. The turn was the , van Engelenburg tossed out 26,000, and Neilson called.

The completed the board, and both players checked again. Engelenburg was about to turn his cards over, but before he did, Neilson showed for a pair of queens. Engelenburg angled his cards into the muck, and Neilson is now flirting with 600,000 chips.
