Small Hit to Kurganov

Igor Kurganov opened for 2,700 from early position and then called when Thomas Muhlocker shoved for about 7,900 from middle position.

Showdown

Kurganov{7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Mohlocker{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

Kurganov needed to get lucky if he hoped to eliminate his opponent, but it was not meant to be as the board ran out {4-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Despite that loss, Kurganov is still sitting pretty with 130,000.

Becker Holding on in There

SportStar Boris Becker is one of the shorter stacks with just around his starting level of chips. He did pick up a pot off Team PokerStars Pro Henrique Pinho, both players had checked the {6-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} flop but Becker fired out a 3,800 bet on the {A-Clubs} turn and forced the Portuguese pro to fold

Big Stack Watch

Checking in with the Day 1 Chip Leaders

We decided to check in with the respective chip leaders from Days 1a and 1b, Guy Bachar and Aku Joentausta. The former began the day with 193,100 and had run it up to 325,000 here on Day 2, while the latter has gone from 236,200 to 320,000.

Likewise, Bachar's brother, Ziv, who is seated one table over, has run his start-of-the-day stack of 130,000 up to 205,000. Meanwhile, PokerStars high-stakes play Terje "Terkn89" Augdal has been eliminated from the tournament.

Julius Shoved On

Kyle Julius, runner-up from last season's PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, was involved in a four-way pot on the {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop. The first two players checked and Julius bet 3,500. The player behind him called and the other two folded.

The turn was the {A-Hearts} and paired the board. Julius checked and his opponent bet 12,000. Julius took a minute and then check-raised to 25,000. His opponent quickly shoved for around 55,000-60,000, having Julius well covered. Julius quickly mucked and dropped back to 15,000 in chips.

Updated Chip Counts

Ziigmund Busts Ruzicka

Ilari Sahamies
Ilari Sahamies

The €50,000 Super High Roller fourth-place finisher Irari "Ziigmund" Sahamies is running good in the Main Event as well. He just busted an EPT regular from Czech Republic Vojtech Ruzicka.

Sahamies raised to 2,800 from an early position and Ruzicka on the Finn's immediate left went all-in. Action folded back to Sahamies and he made the call. Ruzicka showed {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} and Sahamies opened {5-Spades} {5-Clubs}.

The board was no help for the Czech and he hit the rail.

Pierre Makes Trips

Ouch, this was is going to smart for Nicholas Joseph Augustino.

The board was reading {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades} and his chips went flying in against Yves Pierre Maison.

Augustino: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Maison: {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

Augustino couldn't believe his bad luck in what was a 200,000 plus pot but the {2-Clubs} was the second best card he could've found on the turn, giving him a mix of flush outs and straight chops.

The {8-Diamonds} on the river helped neither player and the Frenchman doubled up to over 210,000
