It's Live Reporting, But With Pictures!
We did the footwork early today and stalked some poker pros in their natural habitat for a little thing we call the Day 2 Update.
Sarwer Busto
"God, I think you're really light," is what he said. "Ok, I call."
Sarwer:
Houghton:
Sarwer: "God you're that strong?"
Board:
Sarwer had only just had Houghton covered and was reduced to less than 4,000. "I think you're shoving way lighter than that, that's why I think that's a call," Sarwer said.
"I am shoving way lighter than that," replied Houghton calmly as he doubled to 125,000.
Next hand Dmitry Stelmak raised to 6,000 and Sarwer called all in. Everyone folded, and they were on their backs.
Stelmak:
Sarwer:
"I only looked at this one," said Sarwer, pointing at the , "And now I have aces." He turned to the rather lovely blonde lady railing him and said, "Thanks."

What a Verbakel
Loss for Ross
The turn was the and this time Boatman check-called 18,000 from his opponent. Boatman checked again on the river and this time he faced a 45,000 bet from the other player. Boatman tanked up for what seemed like forever, squinting at the board, but he must not have liked what he saw there as he eventually folded, leaving himself on under 100,000.
A Felonious Four-Bet
Weisner would spend the next couple minutes in the tank, during which she asked Pastor for a count of his remaining chips. He had about 100,000 behind his initial raise, and Weisner eventually settled on a four-bet up to 40,200 total. Pastor hemmed and hawed and gave a few sideways looks over at his aggressive neighbor before surrendering his cards back to the dealer.
When the hand was done, Cada gave a smirk at Weisner and interjected, “I was going to ship it if he folded or called.”
“You thought about it anyways,” Weisner said, returning the smirk.
“Yeah, but then you were getting two-to-one on your call. And I was worried I didn't have enough to get him to fold either.”
