Day 2 Completed

Play Is Over; Bring Out the Baggies

It's an early night for all our lucky Day 3 survivors -- we're done, and the bagging and tagging is underway. The board tells us that 111 players will be coming back tomorrow, of whom only 104 will be getting paid. Chip leader still seems to be Tommy Vedes. We'll see you at noon.

Timoshenko Eliminated

Yevgeniy Timoshenko busted just a little bit earlier after he saw a limp reraise to 42,000 against his isolation bet of 16,000. Timoshenko ended up moving all-in for about 120,000 more according to tablemate Jon Heath but his opponent made the call with {9-?} {9-?}, dominating Timoshenko's {8-?} {7-?} and knocking him out of the tournament.

Big Stack On Big Stack Action

We joined the action with the board reading {7-Spades} {2-Hearts} {10-Spades} {K-Diamonds} and Tommy Vedes in the small blind betting out 10,900. Peter Eastgate on the button looked very intense and made the call.

They saw a {3-Clubs} river and Vedes thought about it for a bit before very daintily checking, tapping the table with a flourish. Eastgate remained intense, and bet 20,100. Vedes folded {Q-?} {J-?}.

Fischmann Busts In 4-Bet Pot

Scott Fischmann raised preflop, was reraised by the blinds and put in a forth bet, getting duly called.

The board came {K-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} and his opponent quickly moved all-in. Fischmann instantly called with {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} but his opponent turned over {A-Spades} {K-Spades} for top trips, holding on a {6-Spades} turn and {7-Clubs} river.

The American goes out just a few spots before the money.

Big Stack Watch

As we approach the end of the day, these folks look to be our chip leaders:

Tommy Vedes - 530,000
Rui Milhomens - 470,000
Jean Montury - 460,000
Jeff Lisandro - 420,000
Peter Eastgate - 410,000

Goldsmyth

Marty Smyth has taken a few chips off Kevin Schaffel, betting just 35,000 on the turn of a {3-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {3-Spades} {Q-Clubs} board into a 100,000 plus pot.

Schaffel ended up mucking after some considerable thought and the Irishman took the pot.

Annette Doubles Again

Annette Obrestad reraised with {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} against an early position raiser and he set her all-in. She called and found herself dominating his {K-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} as two people said they folded a queen.

The flop was {J-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts} as one out became three outs but the {8-Clubs} turn and {4-Spades} river meant Obrestad is up to 300,000.

Drescher Thinks Zac Is a Jolly Good Fellow

Zac Fellows raised, only for Daniel Drescher to move all in. Fellows squirmed for a short while, and then made the call.

Drescher: {A-Spades} {K-Spades}
Fellows: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}

Board: {2-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} to double Drecher up to around 180,000.

"I wish you wouldn't three-bet shove so much," said the jovial Fellows, "Then I wouldn't have to call."
