[user75032]
Cards are in the air. Players are on four seven-handed tables. We will be playing today until nine players remain, which we expect to happen somewhere around Level 13. Despite what TD Danny McDonagh said last night, we will be redrawing at 24 players.

Level: 7

Blinds: 400/800

Ante: 100

Chip Leader Continues Where He Left Off

[user67765]
[user67765]
David Steicke raised to 2,400 from under the gun and Nam Le made the call in the cutoff. The flop landed {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and Steicke led out for 2,400. Le thought for a long time before making the call. The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and Steicke bet out again for 5,000, forcing a fold from Le.

"I just worked you out!" exclaimed Eric Assadourian.

Steicke replied, "Well write it on a piece of paper and we'll see if it's correct!"

Barry Opens with a Double

Barry Greenstein
Barry Greenstein
Barry Greenstein didn't take long this afternoon to get his chips in the middle. With not even ten minutes elapsed in the tournament, Tyler Cornell raised to 2,200. Greenstein, sitting in the big blind, put all 23,000 of his chips at risk. Cornell made the call with pocket nines and had to duck Greenstein's {A-?}{Q-?}. No such luck; the board came {J-Spades} {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} to double Greenstein up to 47,000.

Cornell retain 21,000 in chips.

Today's Plan

[user67765]
[user67765]
Today we'll be playing right through until we reach a final table of nine players, at which point we'll be in the money and each player will see some TV time.

However with 28 deep-stacked, world-class players left in the field it could be awhile before we reach that point.

Kay Triples Up

[user75032]
[user75032]
Matt Kay reraised all in for 13,300 after Nam Le had opened for 2,500. David Steicke called on the button and Le called as well. On a flop of {3-Clubs} {5-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}, Le open-shoved but couldn't shake Steicke, who called.

Kay: {A-Hearts} {A-Spades}
Le: {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs}
Steicke: {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades}

Le and Steicke, holding each other's outs were both drawing dead for the main pot and could only chop the side pot. Once the board ran out {K-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}, the dealer shipped the 40,000-chip main pot to Kay as Le and Steicke took back their flop bets.

Set Over Set Sends Lisawad Home

[user67765]
[user67765]
Pakinai Lisawad is an early casualty of Day Two action after he got all of his chips into the middle on a {4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} board against Wei Will Ma.

Lisawad held {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}, but unfortunately for him it was set over set as Ma tabled {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}.

The river was the {4-Diamonds} and Lisawad crashed out of the tournament as Ma now sits with 80,000 in chips.

The Game's Afoot

[user75032]
[user75032]
The beauty of watching and playing no-limit hold'em is witnessing the little psychological mind games that players engage in. Some of those Jedi mind tricks are already in play at Eric Assadourian's table. He reraised to 6,000 after David Steicke had opened the pot for 2,400. Steicke called.

When the flop came out {Q-Spades} {9-Clubs} {5-Spades}, Steicke led into Assadourian for 2,400. Assadourian immediately announced a raise to 15,000.

"Fifty?" asked a surprised Steicke.

"No, fifteen," replied Assadourian. "I don't want to scare you with fifty."

"Fifteen scares me," said Steicke as he mucked his cards.

Assadourian turned over {7-Spades} {10-Clubs} for a stone bluff. "We've started the game already."
