Mel Judah Eliminated

[user67765]

Mel Judah entered the day as one of our short stacks but couldn’t find the double-up he needed. Judah moved his last chips into the middle from under the gun with {K-Diamonds}

but Martin Stewart made the call with {10-Hearts}

.

The board bricked out {3-Diamonds}

to give Stewart the pot and eliminate Judah from Day Two action. Stewart now sits with 51,000 in chips.

The poker room is currently enjoying the presence of the Bluff promotional girls who are wandering amongst the tables. Yevgeniy Timoshenko appears to be enjoying their company, discussing post-match party plans, meanwhile Tony Dunst appears happy to be able to steal pots while his opponents are distracted.

“I’m trying to work here!” cried Dunst.

Battle of the Blinds Goes to Schmejkal

[user75032]

Moritz Schmejkal, a player who qualified for the APT Macau Main Event via online poker site PartyPoker, has doubled up in the first ten minutes of play. When action folded to Schmejkal in the small blind, he opened for 4,000. Koen de Bakker, one of the larger stacks coming into play today with about 76,000 in chips, peeked at his cards and shoved all in. It's didn't take Schmejkal long to call all in for a total of 23,300, and he was correct to do so.

Schmejkal: {A-Hearts}

De Bakker: {K-Spades}

De Bakker rapped the table, saying "good call," before the flop came down. The board ran out {4-Clubs}

. Neither player connected, which allowed Schmejkal to take the pot with ace high. Schmejkal now has about 48,000, while de Bakker has dropped to about 50,000.
