107 players out of the 446 starters return today. Final table or 3am are our long term goals for today. This is moving day where, after getting through the minefield on a Day 1, players aim to accumulate chips and move up the leader board to put them in a good spot of making it to the final table. Players who will certainly be looking to do that include Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth and Greg Mueller.

Play starts at 2pm.

Level: 11

Blinds: 500/1,000

Ante: 0

It's the Sweeney

[user46392]
[user46392]
Patrick Sweeney has pick up some much-needed chips. He reraised from the big blind to a raise from Takashi Ogura and Ogura called.

Sweeney bet out on the {2-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} flop and Ogura called. Sweeney bet again on the {8-Clubs} turn and this time Ogura passed, leaving himself now a little bit short. Sweeney rallies to 16,000.

Donev Not in the Monette

[user46392]
[user46392]
Ivo Donev attempted to either raise or three-bet on the {K-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}; the dealer ruled that it was just a call as he'd tossed a single chip in. Either way, he and his opponent John Monette couldn't get their respective chips in fast enough on the {3-Clubs} turn and Donev ended up all in.

His {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} was behind Monette's {J-Clubs} {K-Spades}, and with no help from the {7-Hearts} river, Donev is bust.

Happy Hellmuth

No brat antics yet
Phil Hellmuth called a MP raise while in the BB to see a {9-Spades} {5-Hearts} {5-Spades} flop. He then called a continuation bet before they both checked the {Q-Clubs} turn. Hellmuth then led out on the {5-Clubs} river and his opponent folded. Hellmuth looked at his cards and threw them in the muck, jokingly berating his own play.

He then grabbed them out of the muck to show {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} and then started talking to his opponent about how he could've extracted more chips out of him.

Baker Takes the Biscuit

[user46392]
[user46392]
Overnight chip leader David Baker has taken a pot out of the paws of fellow overnight big stack Simen Sagstuen.

Baker raised preflop and called Sagstuen's reraise. Baker check-called the {9-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} flop and checked again on the {10-Clubs} turn. This time when Sagstuen bet though Baker raised, and Sagstuen laid it down.

Baker is up to 75,000.

Rafe's Furst.

Rafe Furst raised from UTG and was called in MP and the BB before a {10-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {A-Clubs} flop came down. Furst bet when checked to him and then called the MP's raise with the BB ducking out of the way. The turn {J-Diamonds} saw Furst check-raise his opponent and it did the trick as he folded.

Good Start for Strath

[user46392]
[user46392]
Henric Strath outdrew a monster:

Henric flopped the nuts with {A-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} and check-raised the {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {J-Hearts} flop. His opponent called, and continued to call Strath's bets all the way down the {6-Hearts} turn and {K-Hearts} river -- only to turn over defeated pocket aces at the end of it all.

The fortunate Strath is up to 38,000.
