Day 2 Resumes

[user46392]
[user46392]
Good afternoon, although it feels a little like morning here in the Amazon Room, and welcome back for Day 2 of this $2,000 No Limit Hold'em event.

We have 232 runners left with only 171 places paying out, and there is an ambitious plan to play down to final table tonight. We rather doubt we'll get quite as far as that before the 3am cut-off point, but anything can happen.

Interesting folks still in this event include Phil Hellmuth, T.J. Cloutier and Tom McEvoy, and the field is currently being led by late surger Patrick Stemper on an impressive 165,000.

Level: 11

Blinds: 600/1,200

Ante: 100

Shuffle Up & Deal!

Play is entirely underway, and we're expecting some early carnage as the short stacks do or die before some tightening up around the bubble a little later...

Hot Harry-On-Harry Action

[user46392]
[user46392]
An early double up for Harry Thomas Jr, who got his chips in well ahead with {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs} against Harold Cohen's {A-Diamonds} {10-Spades}. Looking good...

Flop: {A-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {3-Spades}

"Good hand, man," sighed Thomas, as he got up to leave.

Turn: {J-Spades}

"Woah." He sat back down.

River: {7-Spades}

"Unbelievable," said Thomas, even though it was well within the realms of possibility. Thomas doubled up to 30,000, while Cohen was right down to the felt. Unable to recover, he busted out a hand or two later.

Cutlering Up the Opposition

[user46392]
Not a marvellous start for overnight chip leader Patrick Stemper. He bet out 6,500 on a {7-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {9-Hearts} flop and got looked up by Matthew Cutler. Stemper tried it on again for 10,500 on the {10-Spades} turn, and then called the push for roughly double that; Stemper could boast {Q-Hearts} {10-Clubs} but Cutler had flopped the flush with {A-Hearts} {2-Hearts}, and the {A-Spades} on the river couldn't help. Double up for Cutler.

Roy-al Mess

[user46392]
To the surreal strains of the national anthem being played and Phil Ivey standing on the stage, Roy Thung has busted out, smacking his {A-Spades} {9-Clubs} into Feltrin Celso's {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades}. Not that much excitement on the {Q-Spades} {8-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {8-Clubs} board, and he's gone.

Up and Down

Busto:

- Taylor Douglas
- Adam Katz
- Badih Bounahra


Up:

- Peter Rho, on 106,000
- Phil Hellmuth, on 53,000 after extracting around 8,000 from a tablemate. When his opponent folded on the turn, Hellmuth showed him pocket kings.
