Makowsky Beats Weil

Daniel Makowsky just eliminated Mark Weil to leave us with just two tables remaining.

Makowsky held {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} all in preflop against Weil's {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and the board came an exciting looking {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. Makowsky looked incredibly relieved afterwards stating, "I'm never playing these shootouts again, I feel like I've lost five years off my life!"

Lunkin Slowplays Full House For the Win

Level 8 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Vitaly Lunkin

We aren't entirely sure of how the action all specifically went down, but Frank Rusnak bet almost every street of his final hand with Vitaly Lunkin calling the whole way.

On the river, the board read {6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Rusnak bet 30,000. Lunkin then announced all in and Rusnak nearly snap called. Lunkin showed {6-Spades}{4-Clubs} for a full house and the table win. One table to go!

End of Day 2

Level 8 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

And with that, we're finished for the day and it's a great line up for tomorrow including David Pham who has two bracelets, one in a $2,000 version of this very event. Also among the field are former bracelet winners Dan Kelly, Erik Cajelais, Frank Kassela and Vitaly Lunkin.

Tomorrow the format will be of a two table sit 'n' go with eight players at each table, all starting with 450,000 chips. With payout increases on each spot from now on, we're expecting tomorrow to be a very late day before we manage to find a winner.

The final day will start tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. We'll see you there!
