Stoneham Lays One Down

[user4144]

A raise, a reraise and a push preflop left Adam Stoneham to a decision for 12,600, virtually all his chips. Stoneham shook his head and folded; his opponent showed {9-Diamonds}

face-up.

Stephen "allinstevie" Devlin, who was chip leader here last year for much of Day Two, has been moved over to the same table as his friend Chris Moorman. They've already butted heads, after both checked the turn of a {10-Clubs}

board before Devlin bet 2,600 on the {7-Spades}

river. Moorman made the call and was shown {A-Spades}

, but the Brit turned over {Q-Clubs}

to win the pot.

A few hands later, Moorman raised UTG to 1,200 and Devlin reraised from late position to 3,500. After smirking at each other, Moorman asked how much Devlin had left before deciding to move all in. Devlin snap-called and turned over {K-?}

to Moorman's {A-Diamonds}

. Despite the flop coming {5-?}

, the remaining two cards were bricks and Devlin is up to around 35,000 while Moorman is down to around 10,000.

Stoneham Pushes in on the River

[user4144]

With an

flop lying patiently on the felt, Adam Stoneham check-called 1,500, and then 3,500 on the {9-Hearts}

turn before moving all in on the {10-Hearts}

river. After a tense stare-down, his opponent eventually folded. Stoneham smirked as he scooped in the pot and now has 27,000.

Levi Dried Up

[user4144]

On a

flop, Nicolas Levi called a bet before flat-calling a check-raise on the {3-Diamonds}

turn. On the {2-Spades}

river, the aggressor pushed all in with a queen-high flush, and Levi called before mucking.

Thorson Gone

[user76023]

William Thorson is out. He was short-stacked and pushed against Rob Sherwood's button raise with {A-?}

. Alas Swedish fans, Sherwood called with {6-?}

and won the flip and has since increased his stack to 17,000.

Dario Rivers a Gutshot

[user4144]

He may have taken a few knocks, but Dario Minieri is back up to 30,000 after seeing his {J-Hearts}

board, all in preflop.

New Chip Leader

[user4144]

Assuming that his red stacks are indeed stacked into thirties, your new chip leader is Italian pro Alessio Isaia with 80,000.

By the looks of it, it would appear as though last night's chip daddy Ludovic Lacay won't be taking his lead into Day Two.
