Well, it's not been a good day for Juan Maceiras. He began play with nearly 100,000 chips, but he's run out of them here in the second level of the day. He had been worked down around 15,000 when he got the rest of his money in good with
. Daniel Rauta looked him up with
, and a third seven on the flop was all she wrote for Maceiras.
The board ran out
, and we've lost another of our Spaniards here in Madrid.
Erich Kollmann and Jake Cody like pocket kings a lot as they both used them to double-up as the second level of the day came to an end.
Anton Ionel raised to 3,200 and called when Kollmann three-bet to 10,000. The flop came down 

and Ionel check-called a 30,000 c-bet from the Austrian. The turn came
and Kollmann continued to fast play his hand as he shoved for 56,500 when his Romanian checked again.
Ionel tanked for a while and said, "I can't beat your kings" before he called with 
. Kollmann did indeed have 
and survived the
river.
Moments later Cody three-bet all-in for 22,000 with 
after Patrick Van Dijk opened to 2,200 with 
. The Dutch online phenomenon called but failed to catch up through the 



board.
Under the gun, David Vamplew opened with a mini-raise to 2,000, and Alexander Petersen flatted a couple seats over. On the button, Bruno Lopes stuck in a three-bet to 6,100 total, and Vamplew and Petersen both called to see the flop.
It rolled out
, and Vamplew check-called another 13,000 with Petersen folding out of the way. Heads-up now, the turn brought the
an a check from both men, and the
hit the river. Vamplew opted to lead out into the pot with what looked like 11,900. Lopes quickly called, and his
were better than Vamplew's
, earning him a nice pot at the Scots expense.
Faraz Jaka started off today with over 100,000 but now it's be ground to dust. He shoved over a raise with 
for his last 35,000 or so only for Dominik Nitsche to reshove behind him with 
to bust the American.
Anton Wigg opened to 2,000 from the low-jack and Jake Cody made it 4,400 from the small blind. Chris Moorman then eyed up both stacks and then put in a massive stack of blue chips in the middle to set both players in.
Wigg folded with a sigh and then Cody folded after a couple of minutes thought.
Moorman has since, according to his twitter feed, bust Wigg when he managed to make a straight holding 
against the Swede's 
on a 

flop.
Our pal Neil Stoddart has given us an early batch of shots from this Day 2. Enjoy.
Paul Berende opened to 2,200 preflop and David Gent was the only caller to see the 

flop, Berende led for 2,700 and Gent made it 6,500 to go only for the Dutchman to then three-bet to 11,100. Gent moved all in and Berende quickly called but then said, "That's the hand I didn't want to see..."
Berende: 

Gent: 

The
turn left Berende drawing dead before the
river and Gent had him covered to send him to the rail.
You know it's probably not going to be your day when you push all in for just 7,700 preflop from early position and everyone folds with you showing 
.
That's the kind of day that Olivier Busquet is having.
