Day 2 Started

Day 2 Begins with Voth in the Lead

Chip leader Ronny Voth
Chip leader Ronny Voth

Just like Day 2 of the EPT Berlin Main Event, Day 2 of the €10,000 High Roller begins with Ronny Voth commanding the chip lead. Voth bagged over 600,000 chips after eliminating a few notable players, including Sorel Mizzi. On Day 2 of the Main Event, Voth continued to grow his stack before eventually plummeting on Day 3 and busting on Day 4. He will have much tougher competition on this Day 2 however, because he'll be battling it out against some of the toughest players in the world.

Joining Voth atop the counts is American AP Phahurat. Phahurat recently finished runner-up in the World Series of Poker Circuit Caesars Main Event, earning $137,603, and is looking to record his first cash in a high roller and his first cash on European soil. Phahurat has 498,600 chips, and the only other players with over 400,000 chips are the aforementioned Voth and Max Lykov.

Paul Volpe is also in the top-10 chip counts, bagging 185,000. Volpe finished fourth in the EPT London High Roller, pocketing £107,410.

Day 2 will begin with 45 players, but registration is still open until the start of the event. The plan is to play until we reach a final table of eight players, or until we reach a certain time - presumably around 1 a.m. local time.

Peters Eliminates Heitmann

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

We arrived at the table to catch the end of the action, but AP Phahurat and Todd Terry were kind enough to recap the action.

Phahurat opened with a raise and Terry cut out a three-bet. David Peters four-bet from the other end of the table only to have Jan Heitmann five-bet all in. Phahurat and Terry folded and Peters made the call.

Peters: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Heitmann: {Q-}{Q-}

The board ran out {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and Peters' kings were able to hold, sending Heitmann home early in the day. Peters now has about 248,000.

"I folded ace-king," lamented Terry after the hand.

Three Quick Eliminations

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

We have three quick eliminations, including Daniel Reijmer, Steven Silverman, and Bryn Kenney.

Reijmer was eliminated by Todd Terry, and we missed the action, but Terry had {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} on a {10-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} board. We didn't see Reijmer's cards, because they were already in the muck.

Silverman was eliminated by Vojtech Ruzicka. Ruzicak held {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}, Silverman {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}, and the board ran out {j-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

In Bryn Kenney's elimination, AP Phahurat opened for a raise, Kenney three-bet shoved for around 60,000, and Igor Kurganov re-shipped from the blinds. Phahurat folded, and the hands were opened.

Kenney: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Kurganov: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, and Kenney was eliminated.

Sabharwal's Slow Roll

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

After doubling up James Mitchell to start the day, Gautam Sabharwal moved all in on a flop of {5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} against Scott Seiver.

"Call," Seiver said quickly, turning over {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

Sabharwal looked at Seiver's hand for a moment, then finally turned over {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a flopped flush.

The turn and river came {6-Diamonds}, {2-Hearts} respectively, and Sabharwal doubled.

Seiver was disgusted at the slow roll, but is still healthy with 255,000 chips.

Cates Says Goodbye

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

We found a finished board of {3-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Daniel Cates moving his short stack all in. Jannick Wrang announced a call and showed {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}.

Cates let out a laugh and flashed {6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} before mucking his cards. He quickly exited the tournament area. Wrang dragged in the pot and how has about 130,000 in chips.
