K-J no good for Kjerstad

[user46392]
[user46392]
Stephan Kjerstad open-shoved in early position and it folded right around to Riccardo Mazzitelli in the big blind who made Kjerstad squirm for a little while before calling.

Kjerstad: {K-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}
Mazzitelli: {A-Spades} {9-Hearts}

Board: a fairly exciting but in the end fair {8-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {5-Spades}

Mazzitelli let out a victory grunt and Kjerstad took his leave.

Kitai Ups the Aggression

[user140525]
[user140525]
Davidi Kitai was just moved to a new table, and they don't seem too happy to have him. In the latest hand, he bet at a {J-Hearts} {9-Spades} {2-Clubs} flop. His lone opponent, Ruslan Prydryk, put in a raise. Not to be pushed around, Kitai three-bet shoved on Mr. Prydryk, forcing him to either fold or call all in. The man sat frozen for several minutes until someone called the clock. Prydryk still didn't move a muscle as the floor counted down the minute and then declared his hand dead.

Kitai is up to 210,000, more than enough to bully his rather short-stacked table.

Weisner Wound Up

[user66118]

We admittedly missed the action that led to the showdown, but we can venture a guess. One could surmise that Henryk Nowakowski opened with an early-postion raise, and Melanie Weisner three-bet him from the big blind. It appears that she put him to a decision for the other half of his chips on the flop with a leading shove. Either way, all 35,500 of Nowakowski's chips ended up in the middle when the dealer ran the first three cards.

Nowakowski: {5-Clubs} {6-Clubs}
Weisner: {7-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}

We walked up just in time to see the tail end of a board that ran out {5-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts}, giving Nowakowski the pot and the double up over 70,000. "Wow, five-six.." Weisner trailed off, down to about 30,000 now.

"Sorry, darling," Nowakowski replied patronizingly. "I'm not a French player." He pointed to his, well, rather noticeable midsection and added, "I play from here... And I thought you had ace-king." He shrugged, and Weisner sat there stewing.

Rumor has it she was relieved of the remainder of her chips while this post was being written.

Buy 'Em Cheap, Amsellem High

Young Jeremy Amsellem, finding himself approaching the danger zone, raised from the button and got looked up by Konstantin Tolokno in the big blind.

Tolokno checked the {A-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {2-Spades} flop and Amsellem calmly pushed his whole stack across the line. Fold.

Amsellem is on 45,000, roughly half the average.

Arnault Bags Up

[user46392]
[user46392]
With the board reading {9-Hearts} {A-Spades} {A-Clubs} {8-Spades} {10-Hearts}, Antoine Rousseau bet out 7,000 from the under-the-gun position, only for Antoine Arnault to make it 20,000. Rousseau thought long and hard before making the call - and then promptly mucked when Arnault flipped {A-Hearts} {8-Hearts} for a full house.

The Louis Vuitton supremo is up to 160,000 after that.

A Furious Pace

[user66118]
[user66118]
The big board shows that 252 players remain in Day 2, meaning we've lost more than 150 since play began. Just while typing that sentence, we heard "Seat open on Table 27," followed immediately by, "Seat open on Table 20." And just now, two more calls for open seats! There's certainly no shortage of action here on Moving Day as the field begins to try and set themselves up for the big push to the money.

Speaking of the money, if play continues at this rate, there's a significant chance we'll burst the bubble before play concludes.
