Sarwer Captures Roy's Pawn

[user66118]

Jeff Sarwer opened from early position with a raise to 4,000. Alain Roy made the call from the small blind, and they went heads up to a flop of {A-Hearts}

. Both men check-checked, and the turn brought the {9-Clubs}

. When Roy checked again, Sarwer took his cue to bet 6,100, and Roy's cards hit the muck in an instant.

The chess whiz has been up and down today, but the latest counts find him trending upwards once more. He's back to about 130,000, while Roy is working with right around 29,000.

Margets Earning Double Miles on American Airlines

[user66118]

Once again, the details are a bit sparse on this hand, but it's still worth mentioning.

Leo Margets was down to about 45,000 before she got her chips into the middle with {A-Diamonds}

. The board showed {3-Clubs}

when we walked up, so we can't be sure when the money got in, or even what her opponent's hand was. It's irrelevant though; Margets has doubled her way up to 90,000.

Milanov in Trouble

[user46392]

Remaining Bulgarian hope Alexandar Milanov has suffered a near-fatal injury, doubling up an even shorter stack through no fault of his own.

Milanov: {A-Clubs}

Mr. Shorter: {A-Hearts}

Board:

Milanov was left with just 6,000 or so. He doubled up a few hands later, but his new-found 13,000 stack still comprises fewer than 10 big blinds...

Break it Up

[user66118]

Apologies again for that little 10-minute spell of site maintenance. Just as our site returns to functionality, the players leave the room. We're three levels deep in Day 2, and it's time for another break. The tentative plan is to play three more before calling it a day.

Level: 12

Blinds: 1,000/2,000

Ante: 200
