Huang's Surge Halted

Level 13 : 1,200/24,000, 400 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang has just taken a hit to his stack.

We arrived to the table with Huang holding {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and his opponent who was at risk holding {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}.

The race was on and the flop came {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{K-Spades} putting Huang way ahead, the turn {J-Hearts} helped no one but the cruel river card of the {Q-Clubs} made Huang’s hand second best and gave his opponent the double.

The loss has halted Huang’s late surge but he still has 40,000.

Huang Continues to Fall

Level 13 : 1,200/24,000, 400 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang’s bad run continues as he battled in the blinds with Yanji Ge.

The action folded to Huang who completed from the small blind and Ge checked his option in the big. The flop fell {K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades} both players checked the flop and the turn of {J-Diamonds} but Huang bet 3,500 after seeing the river {5-Hearts}. However, he was raised by Ge to 8,500 and Huang made the quick call.

At showdown, Ge showed {6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for two pair and Huang mucked his hand. Huang has moved down to 25,000 in chips whilst Ge moves close to 110,000.

Ace O'Brien Trumps King Jazz

Level 13 : 1,200/24,000, 400 ante

Jazz Mathers had that awful roller coaster of emotions that comes with first happily looking down at {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and then looking up and seeing the dreaded {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} of an opponent. On this occasion it was Paul O'Brien with the pocket rockets.

When the chips first went in the middle, the stacks looked pretty even and when the dealer spread out a {4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} board, it was time to count down the stacks and see if Mathers was elimianted.

O'Brien's stack was counted first. He had 92,200.

Mathers' was counted next and he had... 92,200.

With that, O'Brien is one of the larger stacks in the room, while Mathers wont be making back-to-back final tables.

Lone Team Pro Gone

Level 13 : 1,200/24,000, 400 ante

The lone Team PokerStars Pro in the field, Bryan Huang, has been elimianted.

Huang was getting short and shoved with {a-}{7-} only to have the player in the big blind call with {a-}{9-}.

The board ran out {3-}{3-}{5-}{4-}{a-} and Huang was on the rail!

Back for Final Two Levels & Likely Bubble

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

The players are back from their break and ready to play the final two levels of Day 2.

There are approximately 69 players remaining.

With the top 54 players making the money, we are very likely to burst the bubble before the end of the night.

Min Jae Park Looking Dangerous

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

Min Jae Park is continuing to put the pressure on his opponents and is one of the leaders during these late stages of the day.

Not too long ago we caught the action on the flop with Park battling from the big blind against his opponent in the small blind.

On the flop of {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}{4-Spades} Park raised his opponent to 16,500 from 7,500. The opponent called and saw the turn of {2-Clubs} and checked to Park who bet 25,000. Again his opponent called and the river fell the {A-Spades}. Park announced all in after his opponent checked to him. After a few minutes his opponent released his hand and Park took down the pot. Park has now moved up to 330,000 and is one of the top stacks in the room.
