Marchese Not Scared

Shengqing Zhu limped in from early position, and Andrew Scott limped from the cutoff seat. Tom Marchese raised to 3,000 on the button, and action folded back over to Zhu. He made the call, and Scott folded.

The flop came down {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{2-Clubs}, and Zhu checked. Marchese bet 3,500, and Zhu check-raised to 7,000. Marchese took some time, then fired back with a reraise to 18,500. Zhu folded, and Marchese won the pot.

Westmorland Finally Arrives... Covered in Dirt

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante
Jordan Westmorland with mud and dirt, well, all over
Jordan Westmorland with mud and dirt, well, all over

Last night was the player party, and plenty of players have been struggling to get here on time for Day 2. Earlier, we talked about the first level being deemed the "recovery level," but plenty are still recovering.

One player, Jordan Westmorland, just now showed up for Day 2, nearly two hours after the day started. His clothes are covered from head to toe in mud and dirt, and it looks like he rolled around on the ground in the construction area across the street from the venue. He has no recollection of what happened to him last night, and everyone seems to be getting a pretty good laugh about it all. Even Westmorland is smiling.

Needless to say, the parties in Macau don't stop.

More Chips for Lam

Action moved to Craig Cockburn in the hijack seat, and he raised to 1,000. Start-of-the-day chip leader Yue Hin Lam called from the cutoff seat, and Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov called on the button.

The flop came down {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts}, and Cockburn fired 1,650. Lam raised to 3,700, then Katchalov reraised to 8,500. After Cockburn folded, Lam made the call.

The turn was the {Q-Hearts}, and both players checked to see the {9-Spades} fall on the river. Lam bet 11,000, and Katchalov folded.

Steicke Doesn't Hold Back

David Steicke just raised to 1,150 after which Team PokerStars Pro Angel Guillen three-bet to 3,000. The action was folded to the player in the small blind, and he four-bet to 6,500.

The pressure was now on Steicke who didn't need long before deciding to move all in. His shove was for right around 22,000 chips, and Guillen took well over a minute before he let go off his hand. The player in the small blind quickly mucked his cards and Steicke picked up a decent pot preflop.
