Ike Ousted

After an early position raised and another guy flatted, Isaac Haxton moved all in for a total of 11,700. The first player reshoved, successfully isolating Haxton.

Haxton: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Opponent: {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

The {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{6-Spades} gave Haxton the lead and the {6-Hearts} turn made him aces up. Tough luck, though, as the {4-Spades} on the river gave his opponent fours full and ended Haxton's tournament.

Another Four-Way All In!

The chips are flying as the dealers are on fire with some devastating coolers for the players today. We just witnessed another four-way all in with pocket pairs all around!

Two short stacks moved all in and found one caller, before Peter Smurfit moved all in over the top for his last 19,000 chips. His live opponent made the call and eight cards were flipped onto the table:

Shorty #1: {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Shorty #2: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}
Mr Stuck In The Middle: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Smurfit: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Once again the board missed everyone as it arrived {8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{6-Hearts} and the pocket aces held up. One short stack is out, one quadruples up while Smurfit makes a profit in the side pot action to move up to 29,000.

Mcmanus Doubles

Jim Mcmanus has doubled up at the expense of Andrew Chen. It was Chen's pocket threes racing with the {A-Spades}{K-Spades} of Mcmanus but a king on the turn was good enough for the double up. Mcmanus is up to 16,000 with Chen slipping to 37,000.

Schneider Wheels In A Double

Mike Schneider has recalled to us his double up after finding a fortunate river. Schneider shoved his last 12,000 with a suited {A-}{4-} but the big blind woke up with pocket kings and made the call.

The board fell {5-}{4-}{2-}{Q-}{3-} to give Schneider a wheel and a double up to 24,000.

Team PokerStars Making Its Mark

Arnaud Mattern, Team PokerStars France
Arnaud Mattern, Team PokerStars France

Team PokerStars Pro sent five players on to Day 2 to aim for Stars' first bracelet of the Series. Arnaud Mattern, a member of Team France, probably owns more PokerStars gear than anyone else. He also has more chips than any of his teammates at the moment.

Veronica Dabul is close behind Mattern. She is joined by fellow Team Argentina member Jose Barbero. Team SportsStars pro Fatima Moreira de Melo also made Day 2 and has a dedicated following back home in the Netherlands cheering her on. Rounding out the diverse group of Stars pros in the field today is George Lind, a representative of Team Online who has been busy this month proving he's got live skills too.

Sarwer Slips

Jeff Sarwer raised under the gun and then called the all-in shove of 14,600 from his opponent in the small blind.

Sarwer: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}

The board of {Q-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{J-Hearts} provided no miracles and Sarwer slipped to 11,000.

Jacob Bounced

Alex Jacob got his last few chips in preflop as part of a three-way all in. His {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts} was against {a-Spades}{j-Hearts} and {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}. The board ran out {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}, meaning the other two players split Jacob's money and Jacob was left with nothing.

Binger Bubbled

Michael Binger was eliminated in unknown circumstances. He tweeted as he hit the rail, lamenting his streak of near-cashes so far this series.

Another Kill For Durrrr

Tom Dwan raised the button before a short stack moved all in from the small blind. Dwan made the call.

Dwan: {k-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Opponent: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

Dwan would need a little help this time and it came when the board ran out {5-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{6-Spades}{K-Spades}{8-Spades} to pair up Dwan's king on the turn and send his opponent packing. Dwan now sits with 45,000.
