, and all three checked. The turn was the 
, and this time the small blind bet 700. Dragomir called, and the original raiser got out of the way.
. The small blind checked, and Dragomir bet 1,500. His opponent then check-raised to 5,100 total, sending the Romanian into a deep think before finally he finally abandoned the hand.
, Ivan Demidov's opponent fired out a bet of 3,000 -- a bit more than the size of the pot -- and Demidov brooded for about a minute before calling from the button. 
, and this time Demidov's opponent swiftly pushed out one yellow (5000) chip and a pink (1000) one. The Russian grimaced at the sight of the bet, and went deep into the tank. Finally Demidov folded, shaking his head and patting the felt as he did.
-- and Thater continued with a bet of 550, forcing her opponent to fold. She sits with about 31,500 right now.
, a player in early position checked to John Kabbaj who laid out a bet of 1,050. A third dabbler in the hand ducked out of the way while the first player matched the bet with a call.
, and it was checked again. Kabbaj doubled his bet with 2,100 more chips, and his opponent quickly called. The river was the 
, and there would be no check this time. The first player pulled out three chips worth a total of 6,100 and slid them slowly out in front of him. Kabbaj would go deep into the tank for at least two or three minutes before making the call.
, and he would see good news as his opponent tabled 
with a frown. Kabbaj's two pair earns him the pot and a little chip-up to 37,000.
, and though the action is uncertain, it appears that both players checked the flop based on the tiny pot in the middle. On that turn card though, Minieri led out with a bet of 625, and his opponent took a quick pause before making the smooth call.
to pair the board. Minieri grabbed 4,500 chips and made a big overbet of the pot. His foe let out an audible sigh as he leaned back in his chair and sat in the tank for about a minute. Finally, he leaned forward and pulled two yellow chips from his stack, making the raise to 10,000. Minieri didn't seem to like it, but he made the quick call for the few thousand extra chips.
for the full book, and it was the winner. Minieri flashed the 
as he sent his cards into the muck, his stack slipping back to just about where he started the day.
Level: 2
Blinds: 75/150
Ante: 0
, Dragan Galic's opponent checked to him from middle position and Galic, in the cutoff, bet 550 -- about a half-pot sized bet. His opponent called. The turn brought the 
. Again Galic's opponent checked, and this time the Croatian bet 650, only to be check-raised to 1,850 total. Galic thought a moment, then called.
. Galic's opponent made a value-looking bet of 1,500, and exhaling frustratedly Galic pushed his cards dealerward. He's slipped to 22,000 as we near the end of the first level.
, and Stelmak checked. Deeb stacked out 2,125 chips and fired them into the pot in the direction of his opponent. After some consideration, Stelmak grabbed one chip of each color and made a rainbow check-raise to 6,625. Deeb shrugged his shoulders and put in the call.
and a bet of 8,500 from Stelmak. Deeb said something in the direction of Stelmak, but the Russian had his earphones in. "Huh??" he asked. "Nothing, nothing," said Deeb, going back to his deep thinking. After a minute or two, he splashed in the calling chips.
. Stelmak put together 8,000 chips and almost made that bet before adding one more yellow chip and making it 13,000 to skate. Deeb had 11,300 chips left in his stack, and after another two or three minutes, he said, "Okay," and plunked them down in the middle.
, and Deeb was proud to flip over his 
, that great call earning him a double up to 56,000.
