Hruby the Gem Eliminates Andrew Teng
Team Pokerstars Pro Martin Hruby has increased his stack size to ~257,000 and as far as we can tell has taken the chip lead on Day 2.
We joined the action with a huge pile of chips scattered all over the Pokerstars logo in the centre of the table and a tower of yellow chips in front of Hruby. The decision - and one for his tournament life - was over to Mikahil Smirnov. The board was 
and Smirnov eventually folded.
No sooner had Hruby welcomed his new little cherubs into his chip household when Andrew Teng opened from middle position with a 2,800 raise. Hruby made the three-bet from the Big Blind 11,200 for Teng to keep playing. Teng fiddled around with his chips for a while before dumping most of his stack over the line as a four-bet and Hruby shoved all in. Teng called but he didn't look confident.
Hruby: 
Teng: 
The flop gave Teng a glimmer of hope but he already had his jacket on and was leaving the table as the board ran out 
. Teng marched out into the sunshine of Vienna and Hruby marched to the top of our Leaderboard.
Pelayo's Bullets Don't
Almost simultaneously, a big pot was brewing on Table 24, with another 
getting full value rather than kicking their owner out. These stacks were big; [Removed:40] bet out on the 
flop, Oscar Pelayo raised to 10k, and received a quick call. On the 
turn Vitagliano checked, Pelayo bet 16,500 and was immediately set in for around 50k. He made the call, his hand holding against Vitagliano's 
on the river for a pretty big double through (over 120k).
Reinkemeier's Bullets Misfire
for Thomas Reinkemeier in his final hand, and they let him down in the end, albeit in rather spectacular fashion. He only had around 20k but most of it went in vs. Yuriy Nesterenko's on a 
flop. Outs galore for Nesterenko, and the 
came on the turn to complete his flush but leave the door open for Reinkemeier's flush and house draws. Nope - the river was the and the rail beckoned.
This Table Ain't Big Enough for the 9 of Us.
Stavros Kalfas has decided that he needs more leg room around his table. Kalfas who recently finished 3rd in a €2,000 NLHE side event at EPT San Remo for €90,000 has just eliminated two players and now has that much needed leg room.
The first person Kalfas eliminated was Franz Pejcl. Pejcl opened from the button to 2,500 and Kalfas threw in a raise from the blinds that included enough yellow 5,000 chips to cause Pejcl a problem. Pejcl shoved and Kalfas called.

Board: 
The second person who wandered into the Kalfas radar was the Pokerstars Road to Vienna online winner Ondrej Vinklarek. Vinklarek opened from the button to 2,500 and Kalfas made the three-bet to 7,500. Vinklarek went into the tank before deciding to put his stack in the middle and Kalfas called.

Losing Suharto
We caught the hand on the turn of the 
board, with Lubomir Kudlicka going all in for his last 26,000, around 90,000 already in the pot. Darus Suharto made the call and they were on their backs.
Kudlicka: 
Suharto: looking good on the flop but a little less good on the turn with
River: not a king nor a queen nor a diamond but the 
Kudlicka enjoyed a full double up to 140,000 or so. Meanwhile the usually affable 2008 WSOP Main Event finalist was rather quiet as he dropped back to 30,000, the Day 1 starting stack.
End of the Cody
EPT Deauville Champion Jake Cody is no longer in the running here in Vienna as his short stack coming back (17,400 at TOS or 'time of shove') went to Kirill Telezhkin. He'd moved in preflop under the gun and Telezhkin isolated with 
. This wasn't good news for Cody's 
and a raggy disjointed board finished him off with a handshake and a quick march to the exit.
Since his sudden appearance on the live radar in 2009 he's been all over the live tournament circuit like a wet towel, winning the EPT and WPT in a super-quick bid for a triple crown, perhaps. Two short years and over €1,000,000 in prize money later and he's still apparently wearing the same hoody as in his database pic.
Ruben Visser Eliminated
Team Pokerstars Pro Ruben Visser has been eliminated early on Day 2. He started the day with only 9,700 chips so it was always going to double up or nothing. He did get his chips all-in once prior to his elimination and it was greeted by a round of folds but in the end this is how his last hand went down.
The action folded around to Flavius Puica on the Button who raised to 2,500 and Visser shoved his remaining stack from the Blinds and it was heads up to the flop.

Chip Leader Severely Dented
Laurence Houghton started the day with more chips in his stack than two-thirds of his table combined. Now his status as chip leader has been removed by the power of as he got involved with the button from the cutoff in a raising war which ended up with Nima Ahary calling a six-bet shove for his whole 75,000 stack. Houghton tabled 
and with the board coming out he scythed off over a third of his chips and is down to 100k.
