Day 2 Completed

Terry Jordan Bags Massive Chip Lead after 888Live Easter Edition Day 2

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Day 2 Chipleader Terry Jordan
Day 2 Chipleader Terry Jordan

From a starting field of 76, the 888Live Easter Edition is down to its final two tables. After a long battle over nine levels today, the bubble burst, the field was trimmed and Terry Jordan sits atop the final 15 players with 2,500,000 in chips.

That figure is over 1,500,000 in chips higher than his nearest opponents Mark Harding (842,000) and Julian Hazelhof (823,000)

For the first time, all advancing players were in the same room, lead by Dan Wicks and Million Yosief who were the chipleaders towards the start of the day.

Wicks would be crippled early on in the day at the hands of Julian Hazelhof. On a ten-high flop with two hearts, the players got their chips in with Wicks holding Aces and Hazelhof the flush draw. Hazelhof completed is flush and left Wicks with just 50,000 chips. He would make the money, but be eliminated in 30th place (£815) after being crippled on the money bubble holding Jacks against Epameinond Sintos' Queens and Rana [Removed:321] Adnan's Ace-Queen.

Yosief himself would have his own cooler when his Kings were cracked by the Ace-King of Mark Harding to bust in the money in 29th place, also for £815.

The bubble boy was Kanan Farzaliyev. His pair of sevens was no match for the set of fours of Gary Miller, and he would depart in 37th place, albeit with some consolatory headphones.

888Poker Ambassador Sofia Lovgren also made the money after entering on Day 1a and finishing second in chips behind Hoa Quan. Lovgren bust to fellow Ambassador Chris Moorman who is still in the hunt going into Day 3, with 243,000 in chips.

Chipleader going into Day 3 is Terry Jordan. Over the course of the day it looked like Dutchman Julian Hazelhof was going to storm away with the chiplead, but Jordan managed to peg him back to take the chiplead by over 1,500,000 chips.

Tomorrow the final 15 will return and play down to a winner. Stay tuned to PokerNews for all the live updates and eliminations as we get closer to crowning a winner here at Aspers Casino Stratford.

Robert Lim Shows the Bluff

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

The flop came {9-Clubs}{j-Spades}{7-Spades}. Lim bet 75,000 and Bester called. On the turn, which was the {6-Clubs} Lim moved all in for 293,000. Bester meticulously counted out his stack, looking up at the tournament clock and proceeding to recount out his stack. He eventually folded.

Lim showed {q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Bester said he was thinking about calling with {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Break

Level 18 : 5,000/1,000, 1,000 ante

Players are going on their final break of the evening. When they return the blinds will be 6,000/12,000 with a 2,000 ante. The average is currently 474,342.

Graeme Bester Doubles Through Mark Harding

Level 18 : 5,000/1,000, 1,000 ante

With the flop reading {9-Spades}{6-Spades}{7-Clubs} Graeme Bester had flopped a set with {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} against the flopped straight of Mark Harding who held {5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

"How do you flop a straight like that?" asked Bester as the turn came the {10-Hearts}. However on the river, the {6-Diamonds} gave Bester a full house, beating Harding's straight, and he doubled up to around 400,000.
