165 Players Remain

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

More than 40 players have already been eliminated from the Day 2 field. According to the big board, there are currently 165 players still in their seats.

Sunar Soaring

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Henri Gregory Janin led out for 16,000 on a {2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop with about 50,000 already in the pot. A player that bought into Day 2 jammed for nearly 31,000 and Surinder Sunar called.

Janin went into the tank and used one of his time bank chips before he folded. Sunar held {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for top pair while his opponent held {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} for a nut flush draw.

Sunar's opponent began to stand up even before the turn was dealt and left his seat after the {6-Spades} came on the turn and the {9-Spades} completed the board on the river.

Sunar's stack soared to around 400,000. Also at his table is Day 1b chip leader Orpen Kisacikoglu with a similar stack.

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Day 1a chip leader's stack Gianny Dominique Morano took a slight dent. He opened from early position before he called a three-bet jam for 15 big blinds from Martin Asim Wrulich.

Morano: {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}

Top Two for Dogra Dogra

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
Martin Jacobson
Martin Jacobson

Petru Tarlev opened for 6,500 from under the gun. After letting half his time bank wind down, Harcharan Dogra Dogra called from the big blind.

Dogra Dogra checked the {5-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{k-Hearts} flop before Tarlev bet 7,000. Dogra Dogra let most of his time bank wind down before he pushed most of his stack for a raise to 45,000.

It was Tarlev's turn to use his time bank. After it winding down to single digits he folded.

Dogra Dogra smiled and first showed his opponent he had {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} for top two pair before he turned over his hand for the rest of the table to see.

Meanwhile, at the same table, 888poker Ambassador Martin Jacobson has built his stack up to around 165,000.

Navarro Perez Out Flushes Aleksandar Abutovic

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Aleksandar Abutovic jammed for about 45,000 with about 25,000 in the pot on a {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop, Manuel Navarro Perez went into the tank and as his time clock wound down used a time bank chip.

With seconds remaining, Navarro Perez made the call.

Navarro Perez: {J-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Abutovic: {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Abutovic was ahead with both a pair and a flush draw. However, Navarro Perez held a better flush draw. Navarro Perez made a fist pump in the air after the {2-Clubs} appeared on the turn to give both players a flush.

Abutovic was drawing dead and he was officially eliminated from the tournament after the {10-Clubs} completed the board on the river.

Strike Three for Talbot

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
Parker Talbot
Parker Talbot

It's strike three for Parker Talbot and he is one of the first players eliminated on Day 2.

He fired three bullets yesterday with his third one coming near the end of the day. He was able to double up and come into today with 24 big blinds.

Talbot shared with PokerNews that he got it all-in with {A-}{K-} on a {A-}{K-}{10-} board. His top two pair weren't looking that good when his opponent called with {Q-}{J-} for a straight.

Unfortunately for Talbot, he was unable to hit any of his outs to improve his hand to a full house. We will likely still see Talbot but on the sidelines in the commentary booth during the next two days.
