Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
We're two levels into this day, and we're pausing for a 20-minute break.
Palovic Turns Top-Top
In a heads-up pot, we saw Dag Palovic and David Vamplew check through a 
flop to the 
turn. Vamplew made a small bet of 500, and Palovic raised it up to 1,100. The call came, and the 
hit the river. Palovic fired 2,500, and Vamplew tanked for a long while -- maybe two minutes -- before making the call.
Palovic showed down 
for top pair, and that was good enough to earn the pot.

Hruby Slips
There was 5,500 in the pot already when we picked up a bit of action on the turn of a 
board. Martin Hruby was leading the betting, and the Team PokerStars Pro put out a bet of 2,250. The other man in the hand was another Team PokerStars Pro, and Sebastian Ruthenberg made the call to see the last card.
It was the 
, and the two men checked it down.
Hruby showed

for the better pair of tens,

Four Eighty
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
We're already over 480 players registered for this big Day 1b flight, and we've ticked well over the 600-player mark in total. There were 234 players yesterday.
Engel Floats to the River
We picked up the action post-flop, but we'll take a stab at the preflop action. Ari Engel was in the cutoff seat heads-up with Thibaud Guenegou, the small blind. There was 3,425 in the pot already, so it appears that there was a raise from Engel, followed by a three-bet to 1,600 from Guenegou. In any event, we know for sure what happened after that.
Guenegou put out 1,300 on the 
flop, and Engel flatted to see the on the turn. Guenegou fired another 3,500 and was called, and he slowed down with a check on the river. Engel took his cue to bet 7,000 at the pot, and his opponent quickly surrendered.

Katchalov Catches Aces Early
We picked up the action on the river with the board reading 
. Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov was the first to act of three players on the end and he fired 3,600. The next player folded and accidentally exposed the 
and then the third player made the call. Katchalov tabled the 
and his opponent mucked.
