We're a bit fashionably late over here, but things are rolling now. The announcements have just been run through, and we think we heard the Tournament Director say we're playing six levels today. More confirmation about the day's schedule to come. For now, most of the 407 remaining players have found their chairs, and they've been called to action with the most famous words in poker.
Day 2 is under way.
Team PokerStars Pro Luca Pagano is up to nearly 40,000 after ace-high was good against Haykel Cherif Vidal.
He raised to 2,500 from early position and was called by the Spaniard from the small blind before the flop fell . Pagano c-bet for 3,000 and Vidal called before the two player checked through the turn and river. Pagano tabled and it was good.
With around 7,000 chips in the middle on the flop of , Joseph Cheong, Dmitry Gromov and Jeremie Corcia were in action and Cheong was up first. He checked and Gromov fired 3,100. Corcia raised to 6,700 and that knocked Cheong out of the way. Gromov came back with a reraise to 10,100 and Corcia called.
The turn brought the and Gromov bet 30,000, which had Corcia covered by just a little bit. After a minute or so in the tank, Corcia folded and Gromov moved to 173,000 in chips.
Player | Chips | Progress |
---|---|---|
Dmitry Gromov | 173,000 | 20,800 |
Filippo Candio just sent a player to the rail, Victorio Alexandru Piturca. The money went in preflop and Candio's queens held against Piturca's tens as the board ran out .
Player | Chips | Progress |
---|---|---|
Filippo Candio | 105,000 | 20,500 |
Victorio Alexandru Piturca | Busted |
Team PokerStars Pro Arnaud Mattern just popped by the press area to fill us in on his unfortunate demise.
He raised to 2,500 from under-the-gun before Anatolii Ozhenilok three-bet to 5,300 from two seats along. Mario Adinolfi was one more seat along and he flat called. The action was folded back to Mattern who waited 30 seconds before moving all-in for 21,400. In turn the two players behind him both moved all in as well to create a big showdown.

Ozhenilok:
Adinolfi:
The Italian was behind to both players but he had a live ace and it found a friend on the board to scoop the lot and eliminate both opponents.
We've just confirmed the schedule with the floor staff, and we find it favorable.
We'll be playing six levels today with a 15-minute break between each. All except Level 4, that is, which will be followed by an extended 30-minute "snack break". A level, a break, and one more level after that, the bags will be out on the tables at the end of the night -- right about 9:30 PM local time.
