A Heartless Game

Andreas Eiler called 17,000 on a {K-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} flop, and then checked behind on the {4-Hearts} turn. The river came down the {6-Hearts} and his opponent now tanked up. Eventually he bet out 25,000 - but Eiler called him with {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} and, unable to beat it, his opponent mucked.

Eiler up to 250,000.

Today's Going Very Quickly

As we approach the last break of the day, it seems like a good time to reflect on how super-mega-ultra-turbo-fast-quickly today has gone.

Runners who started Day 2: 328
Runners left now after five levels: 125

It's not entirely impossible that we'll make the money tonight at this rate.

Paying Pagano

Everyone's favorite scruffily-bearded Italian pro
Everyone's favorite scruffily-bearded Italian pro
Luca Pagano opened the pot from early position, and a middle-aged Italian gentleman in the big blind moved all in for about 70,000. Pagano quickly called with the covering stack, and the cards were turned up. The big blind showed two queens, {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}, but he was not in good shape. Pagano tabled {K-Spades} {K-Clubs}, and a board full of blanks ensued. It ran out {10-Spades} {2-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}.

Pagano's kings hold, and he's notched another knockout. The chips of his latest victim push him all the way up to 290,000.

Hold Everything

Just like that, we've got five levels behind us today. the remaining 120-some-odd players are out in the corridors for their final break of the night. We'll come back for one more level before calling it quits for Day 2.

Level: 14

Blinds: 1,500/3,000

Ante: 300

Boeken Shoves

A player on the button opened with a raise to 8,000, and Noah Boeken moved all in for 79,600 total. His opponent went deep into the tank for a long while before surrendering his hand.

"Ace-jack?" asked Boeken. When the other man shook his head, Boeken revealed {A-Clubs} {10-Spades} with a shrug. "What can I do?" he asked rhetorically.

Boeken's back over 90,000 with that little chip-up pot.

ELkY Rides Out

We came back into the card room to discover the field rather less bleached and rhinestoned. The cause - ElkY's demise on the last hand before the break. Arnaud Mattern filled us in.

It seems that Rui Cao had just moved to the table, and he raised. ElkY reraised such a sum as to almost commit himself, Cao shoved, and ElkY called all in with {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts}. Cao was holding aces ("Pocket rockkkkkkets," said Mattern, with obvious relish for some reason), and that was the end for the rhinestone cowboy.

Marget-Me-Not

Leo Margets' table was broken, and she headed dutifully off to her new table assignment. A minute or two later she was back. Her chips lay in two racks where she'd left them on her old table.

"I knew I was forgetting something," she said as she whisked them off with her.
