Earlier they battled it out in a small pot and just now Li got the best of Tony G once again. Lee raise to 3,200 under the gun, and Tony three-bet to 8,000 from the button. After Li had made the call the flop brought out and Lee check-called 12,000.
On the turn, the , and the river, the , both players checked. Lee tabled and took down another pot.
An under-the-gun player moved all in and was called by a shorter stack in early position. Andrew Melladp, who had both players covered, also made the call.
Showdown
Mellado
EP
UTG
The flop was kind to the EP player as it paired his king. The was of no consequence, but the spiked on the river to give Mellado trips. The table erupted in disbelief as Mellado raked in a moster pot and scored the double elimination.
We didn't see any of the action leading to the all in, but Paul Singh got himself all in for 50,300 after a flop. Manig Loeser had the covering stack, and his liked that flop very much. But not as much as Singh's . It was a set-over-set situation, and Singh was on the good end of it.
The turn and river didn't change anything, and Loeser has been cut back down under 100,000 after that cooler.
A player in middle position opened for a raise, which was three-bet by Andrew Hinrichsen in the cutoff. Oliver Gill, who was sitting on the button, then four-bet, the original raiser folded, and Hinrichsen five-bet. Oliver didn't stop there as he six-bet all in, and we imagine he regretted it after Hinrichsen snap-called.
Showdown
Hinrichsen
Gill
The flop gave Gill a gut-shot straight draw, but neither the turn nor river completed it. Hinrichsen chipped up to 365,000 while Gill was sent to the rail.
Brett Watson was the chip leader at the start of the day, and he has managed to add a few chips to his stack here on Day 2, brining it to 308,000. We also caught up with Paul Sing, who freerolled his way into the Main Event by winning a Baccpo promotional tournament, and he is sitting with 115,000.
David Bach is out after three-bet calling off his stack. There was an open to 5,500 that Ben Savage and Melanie Weisner called before Bach three-bet to 17,000, with 34,000 back. The original raiser folded but Savage set Bach all-in. Weisner folded, Bach did some maths in his head, called, and tabled .
"You called?" asked Savage. "How can you call with that?" he continued without turning over his cards.
He eventually tabled and then left his chair, stuck his fingers in his ears, closed his eyes, and made noises to drown all his relevant senses from what was happening. He must've smelled victory as he quickly came back to the table after the board had run .
Savage continued to give Bach a rubdown. Bach took it well and said his opponent could've had ace-king there.
Under the gun, Tom Dwan opened to 4,000, and he found two calls including Patrick Healy in middle position. Over in the small blind, Tony Grigg squeezed in a reraise to 17,400 total, and that folded Dwan without incident. The other two called though, and it was three-handed to the flop with a big pot brewing.
The dealer spread out , and Grigg continued out with another 18,600. Healy was a non-believer, though, and he shoved all in for 135,300, enough to fold the player in the middle and put the decision back on Grigg. He took just five seconds to be sure, then made the call with his massive stack.
Showdown
Healy:
Grigg:
Healy was crushed, but he seemed oddly confident that he was going to come out on top as he stood up to lean over the table and sweat his own fate. The turn was a decent miss, giving him another four outs to work with as he picked up a Broadway draw. He began to verbally coax a jack from the deck.
River:
Grigg could barely believe it, and Healy let out a beastly yell in celebration. He's gone runner-runner to scoop up that monster pot, skyrocketing all the way up to 330,000 and into the realm of the chip leaders. It's a big knock to Grigg's count — which would have been massive had he held — but he's still left with about twice the average stack.
