Level 2 Arrivals

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

O'Grady Among Today's Hopefuls

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

With more than half a million in cashes, Michael O'Grady is among the more notable names in Australia and the vast majority of his cashes come from home soil, in either Sydney or Melbourne. Yesterday, O'Grady finished 8th in the Accumulator Event after his kings were cracked by pocket queens and he collected A$16,900 for his efforts.

The start into Day 1b of O'Grady hasn't been great just yet as his stack was cut down in almost half, however that's still plenty of big blinds in the second level of the day.

Obst Still Climbing

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

James Obst bet 2,400 from under the gun, a pot-sized bet, on {5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}. An opponent in the small blind called him, and the river was a {7-Hearts}. Obst fired big again with 6,000 but this time he took the pot without a showdown.

The Aussie crusher has had a profitable early level overall, increasing his stack by nearly 50 percent.

Alex Foxen has taken his seat on Day 1b of the Main Event and instantly picked up a nice pot. Foxen, who was one of the two players that didn't make the money in yesterday's ANTON Jewellery $50,000 Challenge, saw a {6-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop from the big blind.

After three checks, the button bet 525, the small blind folded, Foxen called and another player called as well. Foxen took over the betting lead on the {3-Hearts} turn and bet 1,800, which only the button called.

On the {4-Spades} river, Foxen amped up the aggression with a bet of 5,100 and the button folded.

Cohen Wins One, Loses One

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

On a board that ran out {k-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}, Sam Cohen bet every street from the cutoff — 500, 1,000 and 1,800 — against the player on the button. That player called down but couldn't beat {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}.

The next hand, someone opened under the gun for 300 and got one call before Cohen made it 1,150 to go. The opener four-bet to 3,200, the squeezed player mucked and Cohen peeled. the flop came {2-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and the first player bet 3,500, getting a fast fold from Cohen.

Assorted Counts Across the Room

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

New entries include Florence Allera, Paul Vas Nunes, and Alex Foxen amongst others. Allera immediately raised to 325 after sitting down a few minutes ago and early big stack Simeaon Zacharias in the small blind three-bet to 1,150. Allera called and the flop fell {6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. Zacharias continued for 700 and that's all it took to shut down all further action.

Ha, the "Donkey" With Quads

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

"I only collected the minimum, I am a donkey. Write that down, I called myself a donkey!" Mai Ha joked after his river bet got very few chips when his {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} hit back door quads eights. Ha was all smiles and the atmosphere on the table was very relaxed, Jack Salter next to Ma was also laughing. The table chatter continued for some time and Ha added "this is nuts, we already had quads six times here."

Ha and Salter have chipped up in the first level already for what it's worth.
