Judd Feeling like a King

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Matthew Judd got off to the ideal start to his Day 2. Coming into play a little over starting stack, it was vital for him to get an early double-up and that's exactly what happened when he got himself all-in pre-flop with {K-Spades}{K-Clubs} against his opponent's {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}.

The board ran dry for Judd to double himself back into contention, and he shares a table with Stacy Matuson today.

Ciuperca Snapping Happy

Level 14 : 1,600/3,200, 400 ante

Cristian Ciuperca couldn't have been happier to snap call for his tournament life, getting it all-in pre-flop for 81,600 over the top of an open and a raise with {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}. He was called by Simen Gulbrandsen with {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} and the board ran out {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} to leave Ciuperca on a stack of almost double the average and Gulbrandsen on fresh air.

"I gotta take a picture of this!" shouted an excited Ciuperca, and the table waited for him to capture his moment of glory, a chagrin Gulbrandsen politely congratulating his opponent on having won the hand.

Big Double for Kellner

Level 14 : 1,600/3,200, 400 ante
Kelly Kellner
Kelly Kellner

Jose Antonio Gascon Garcia raised from under the gun and Lucia Martinez called in the cutoff. Gregory Torrents shoved his short stack from the button and Kelly Kellner then reshoved from the big blind for more than the average. Gascon Garcia folded and Martinez quickly called, thinking Kellner had a far smaller stack.

Kelly Kellner: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}
Lucia Martinez: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Gregory Torrents: {7-Spades}{6-Spades}

The board ran out {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and Torrents was eliminated, while Kellner doubled for 129,500 through Martinez. The start-of-the-day chip leader has about as much left as she started with after running hot early on.

Kassouf Down Then Up

Level 14 : 1,600/3,200, 400 ante
William Kassouf in bullish mood here on Day 2
William Kassouf in bullish mood here on Day 2

William Kassouf has stayed roughly where he is in the chipcounts, but it's not down to lack of action.

In two hands, Kassouf made minimal profit but was all-in once and involved in big pots in both hands. First he had a set of deuces against a rivered flush to lose 80,000 chips. In the next hand, however, he 3-bet with {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} and then called off the shove of his opponent, who held {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}. The board of {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Diamonds} paid Kassouf and he doubled up the 100,000 stack he had.

Marginal profit over the two hands, but maximum action.
