Day 2 of $1M GTD Kick-Off Begins at 12 noon in the Poker Room

Kaelaine Minton

Day 2 of the BFPO Kick-Off Event #3: $600 Deepstack NLH resumes play at 12 noon in the Poker Room.

Four starting flights over the previous two days saw 1,425 hopefuls take to the felt. Of those, only 233 have advanced to Day 2.

She Lok Wong leads the field with 539,000 (108 big blinds) at the start of play.

Levels are 50 minutes long today and play will continue until we reach the final 18 players, the lucky few who will bag their chips and return at 12 noon Saturday to determine a winner.

Putinas Doubles Up with Quads

Kaelaine Minton

Level 16 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

In one of the early hands of the day, Gintautas Putinas doubled his short-stack after getting out-flopped by Eric Siegel. Putinas was holding against Siegel's and Eric flopped a Queen — bad news for Putinas.

Then the last two cards came giving Putinas first a set, then quads for overkill. He doubled up and Siegel's stack was able to absorb the hit without too much damage.

Rags Runs Into Sande's Aces

Kaelaine Minton

Level 16 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ragavan "Rags" Thiagarajah got his last chips in holding only to run into the pocket aces of LJ Sande. A king on the flop gave Thiagarajah pause, but the board bricked out and he was felted.

Both players were short, but Sande had the bigger stack. He's up to 137,000.

Sande is in the unenviable position of having WPT Champion Mike Linster on his immediate left, but now their stack are comparable.

Table 15 Got a Lot Tougher

Kaelaine Minton

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

LJ Sande has busted out, sent packing by Doug Shirk, who is up to ~285,000.

Mike Linster has more than doubled his starting stack and is playing ~400,000 — and that's after this pot:

Jon Borenstein got moved into Seat 1 and was the big blind. He and Linster were looking at a flop of and Borenstein checked. Linster bet 10,000, Borenstein check-raised to 35,000, and Linster tanked for a minute before surrendering his hand.

Borenstein is up to ~325,000 after collecting that pot.

Also sharing Table 15 with these guys are Al Riccobono and Christian Harder, making this particular oval a tough patch of felt.
