Almost Set for Day 2

[user66118]
[user66118]
Welcome back for Day 2 of the $10,000 World Championship of Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em! The starting field of 256 runners has been whittled down to just 64 through two quick rounds of action. The players are set to play two more rounds today, and we'll have our final sixteen players set by the time it's all said and done.

The players are mostly in their seats, with the chips being passed out and the last-minute paperwork being taken care of. We expect to be underway in just a few minutes so sit tight, we'll be right back with the action.

Level: 1

Blinds: 500/1,000

Missing Pieces

[user66118]
[user66118]
So far, Scott Fischman is alone at his table. His opponent is slated to be Yevgeniy Timoshenko, but the young pro is missing in action so far. Unlike Day 1, the absent player is being blinded off here on Day 2.

That problem is half as bad as the one on Table 251. Neither Matthew Woodward nor Justin Filtz is here yet, so it'll be difficult for either of them to pull ahead in their faceoff. The dealer is all alone in the box, flipping the cut card back and forth between his hands and looking rather bored.

Classy Move by Jason Senti

[user111541]
[user111541]
Play started about three minutes ago and dealers were instructed to deal even if one player was missing from the table. Meaning, a player was free to raise his opponent and take down every pot until they arrived.

Jason Senti decided to take the road less traveled. He capped his cards and quietly waited until his opponent, Erik Seidel, arrived at the table.

Schwartz Slipping Early

[user66118]
[user66118]
We pick up the action on the turn with the board reading {5-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {J-Hearts}. Action was on Benjamin Sprenger, and he checked over to Noah Schwartz. Schwartz put out a bet of 8,500 which Sprenger called.

The river card was the {3-Spades}. Sprenger grabbed the betting lead now, firing out a healthy bet of 28,000. After some deliberation, Schwartz made the call. His opponent tabled {A-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}, his monster flop turning in the winning trip threes on the river. Schwartz has now shipped about half his stack to his foe, sitting now with 64,000 left.

Senti Grinding at Seidel

[user66118]
[user66118]
On a flop of {10-Hearts} {3-Spades} {K-Hearts}, Erik Seidel checked first to act. Jason Senti bet 3,000, only to see Seidel check-raise to 9,500. Senti called to see the turn.

It was the {7-Spades}. Seidel wasn't stopping now, pushing out 22,000 chips. Senti wasted little time making the call.

The last card off was the {4-Clubs}. Both players checked it down this time. Senti tabled {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}, and Seidel tapped the felt in acknowledgement. "Three," he said, as he pushed his chips in the direction of his opponent. Seidel is down to 87,000 and Senti holds the lead with 153,000.
