Reid Also Busts Hao

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Derek Reid has knocked out yet another player early into Day 2 and has nearly overtaken Vasile Rablou on his table, who started among the biggest stacks. Reid opened from under the gun and called the shove of Yijun Hao for 18,000 in total.

Yijun Hao: {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Derek Reid: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

The board came {10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades}{3-Spades} and Reid rivered the flush for good measure. Morten Mortensen was also among those to run out of chips in the first level of the day.

No Repeat Victory for Racolta

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Andrei Racolta
Andrei Racolta

Andrei Racolta has not survived the first level of Day 2 and his title defense has come to an early end. According to Ran Shahar, Racolta three-bet jammed the button with {k-}{q-} and Shahar called with {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}. Only a jack appeared on the flop, turn and river were blanks.

Carmen Zainescu also walked out of the tournament area and mentioned something about a battle of the blinds and being put all in by an opponent with jack-six suited.

Dedusha on the Rail

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Artan Dedusha
Artan Dedusha

Artan Dedusha was spotted while leaving the tournament area and his stack was shipped over to table neighbor Helder Pinho. Aleeyah Jadavji confirmed the hand details and it was a classic flip that decided over the fate of Dedusha.

According to Jadavji, Bogdan Berinde opened to 5,000 in the cutoff and Helder Pinho three-bet the button to 15,000. Dedusha jammed for 65,000 in the small blind to force out Berinde, but Pinho called with {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}. Dedusha had a flip with pocket fives and failed to hold up on a board of {k-}{q-}{4-}{q-}{8-}.

Natalis Drytchak
Natalis Drytchak

In a three-bet pot to the {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop, two bigger stacks clashed in Stefan Aurelian Gheorghe and Natalia Drytchak.

Stefan Aurelian Gheorghe: {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Natalia Drytchak: {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}

Gheorghe needed a heart to remain in contention, but shipped over his above-average stack to Drytchak after the {k-Clubs} turn and {a-Diamonds} river came up blank.

Bleau and Naste Bow Out

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Iulian Bleau
Iulian Bleau

Iulian Bleau lost his short stack with {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} against the {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} of Ionut Decher and the next shorter stack to fall was Bogdan Nastase. He bowed out against fellow Romanian and Bogdan, Bogdan Berinde, when the chips went in preflop.

Bogdan Nastase: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Bogdan Berinde: {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

The {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop improved Berinde to a pair of kings, and the {q-Diamonds} turn and {9-Clubs} river changed nothing whatsoever.

Parlafes Eliminated by Virlanuta

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Dany Parlafes
Dany Parlafes

Dany Parlafes lost a big pot in the previous hand and dropped to fewer than 50,000. Soon after, he faced a raise to 8,000 by Mihail Cuza and a call by big stack Marian Virlanuta from one seat over. Parlafes jammed for the last 45,500 and that forced out Cuza, however, Virlanuta made the call.

Dany Parlafes: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Marian Virlanuta: {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

Parlafes had plenty of outs and even drew to a chop via straight on the board, but ultimately came up on {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} to become the next casualty. Virlanuta pulled ahead of Derek Reid once more, who happens to sit on the very same table.
