Day 2 Looms

Good afternoon and welcome back for Day 2 of the $2,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em/Omaha event. Yesterday's 453 runners were pared down to just 99 as the clock ran out early this morning. Jamie Rosen finds himself on top of the hill for the restart today, having bagged up 110,200 chips. There's a big crowd right behind him though, including the likes of Tony Cousineau, Michael Mizrachi, Alex Kravchenko, Hevad Khan, Jamie Pickering, Nam Le, and Daniel Negreanu.

We're scheduled to get underway at 2:00pm, but we can see that two of our tables are still being occupied by another event. In all likelihood, it's going to be an extra 10 or 15 minutes before things get rolling. We plan to play deep into the night until we hit our final table of nine.

We'll be back in just a few minutes with the shuffle up and deal.

Level: 9

Blinds: 0/0

Ante: 0

Let's Go!

Well, we didn't do too bad starting 8 minutes late. The players are in their seats, and the cards are in the air!

Filippi Flips Over Kings

Omaha

Amnon Filippi didn't waste any time getting his 32,500 chips into the middle of the table. He held {K-?} {K-?} (X) (X), and managed to draw a third of his kind on the board. With his set of kings, he earns a big double up through Tyler Mckinnon, up to 72,000 now.

Negreanu Takes One

Omaha

Under the gun, Daniel Negreanu put in a minimum raise to 1,200. Action passed all the way back to the big blind where Michael Mizrachi called the extra 600.

The flop showed up {6-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {7-Spades}. The Grinder led out into the pot, flicking out 2,000 in chips, prompting Negreanu to raise it up to 9,000. That was enough to get Mizrachi out of the way, and the pot goes to Kid Poker.

Fast Times for Fossilman

Already a busy day for Greg "Fossilman" Raymer.

All of these hands took place during the first orbit, when the game was PLO. First, Raymer doubled up Hoyt Corkins, thus falling down from his starting stack of 25,400 to 6,700. Then Raymer doubled up through Jay Heimowitz, moving back up to 15,000. Then Raymer doubled up yet again in a three-way hand involving Alfredo Vega and Heimowitz.

The six-time WSOP bracelet winner Heimowitz busted on that last one, and Raymer is back up to 31,000.

The Thrill Is Gone

Omaha

Will "The Thrill" Failla started the day as one of the shortest's stacks with just 4,000, and just now got it all in on a flop of {J-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} against Seth Anirudh. Failla showed {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, while Anirudh turned over {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{5-Clubs}.

The turn was the {8-Hearts} and the river the {7-Clubs}, and Failla's day is done. Anirudh now has 59,000.

Ling Does His Thing

Omaha

Under the gun, Amnon Filippi opened with a raise to 1,700. The bet came around to Andrew Ling, and he re-raised it to 5,400 from the cutoff. Filippi was the lone caller.

The flop came down {3-Hearts} {2-Spades} {4-Spades}. Filippi checked, and Ling moved all in for his final 6,900 chips. Amnon considered for just a moment before letting his hand go, and Ling has chipped up just a bit to 19,000.

"Easy Game"

Hold'em

Julian Rodriguez just got the last of his short stack all in on a flop of {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}{5-Spades} against Amnon Filippi. Rodriguez was in tough shape with {A-Spades}{5-Hearts} versus Filippi's {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}.

But the tide turned quickly with a {5-Diamonds} on the turn. Then the {5-Clubs} popped out on the river. "Easy game," said Filippi with a roll of the eyes.

Rodriguez chips back up to 19,000, while Filippi now has 58,000.
