Mulder Out, More Players In

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Teun Mulder
Teun Mulder

Stefan Schillhabel raised to 6,500 in early position and was called by the cutoff. Teun Mulder was in the big blind and ripped all in for his last 34,000 chips. Schillhabel deliberated for a moment before re-shoving all in which quickly got the cutoff to fold.

Teun Mulder: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Stefan Schillhabel: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Mulder was unable to find any help on the {5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} board which sent him to the rail. Some new faces also joined the field including Daniel Dvoress and Sam Greenwood, along with Erik Seidel who is on his second entry.

Vogelsang Scores Two Knockouts

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A short-stacked Mauricio Salazar Sanchez was all-in with the {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and received a call by Tom Vogelsang with the {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. No ace appeared on the {7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{q-Spades} runout and that spelled the end for the Colombian.

Soon after, Vogelsang and Conor Beresford got into a preflop raising war with the latter ending up at risk for around 150,000.

Conor Beresford: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Tom Vogelsang: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The pocket pair prevailed on the {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} board and Vogelsang notched up another knockout.

"You know how it goes, when the Mystery Bounties come in nothing happens," another player at the table joked.

"Good Turn" for Nesterov

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Zhi Ning raised to 8,500 from under the gun and was called by Neymar and Jakov Nesterov on his left. They went three ways to a flop of {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Ning started with a check. Neymar fired out a bet of 13,000 which Nesterov called and Ning got out of the way.

The {9-Clubs} landed on the turn and Neymar slowed down with a check this time. Nesterov flicked in a bet of 10,000 and Neymar stuck around to see the {5-Diamonds} on the river.

Both players quickly tapped the table this time and Nesterov flipped over {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for a flush. "Good turn," Nesterov pointed out as he collected the pot.

Moraes Among Early Casualties on Day 2

Rafael Da Silva Moraes

PokerStars ambassador Rafael Moraes was also among those to enter in the first hour of play but barely lasted half an hour. He got it in preflop with the {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} against Julien Sitbon, who held the dominating {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}.

The kicker played on the {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{6-Clubs} runout and that spelled the end for Moraes.

However, Sitbon then lost a bigger pot to Kayhan Mokri who further increased his decent stack towards the end of the late registration period.

Lander Lijo
Lander Lijo

In a preflop contest, Lander Lijo had the best of it with {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} as he was up against Gregoire Auzoux with the {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

The kicker issue wasn't solved yet on the {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop but Auzoux improved on the {10-Diamonds} turn, leaving his opponent with just three outs. Nothing changed with the {a-Clubs} river and that spelled the end for the Spaniard.

Wakil Loads Up the Triple Barrel

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jamil Wakil came into the day as one of the short stacks but is slowly making his way up the leaderboard in the opening levels. Wakil raised to 8,000 in middle position and Alexandre Reard called from the big blind.

The flop came {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Reard check-called a bet of 6,000 from Wakil. The {a-Spades} paired the board on the turn and Reard check-called another bet of 16,500 from Wakil.

The {8-Diamonds} completed the board and Reard checked for the third time. Wakil dropped in a bet of 36,000, nearly his entire stack and Reard was forced to finally lay his hand down.
