More Seat Open

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

Among those to bust recently were Mike Watson, Davidi Kitai, Mike McDonald and Salman Behbehani. For the latter, there was some reason to celebrate last night after picking up a trophy in a €5,000 Side Event for more than €92,000.

Watson was left very short after losing a flip with ace-queen versus jacks to Alexander Timokhin and busted straight after.

Working on the Table Image

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

In the very last hand of the previous level, Adrian Mateos raised to 4,500 and Zvi Stern min-clicked to 7,900 from one seat over. The action folded to Quan Zhou in the big blind and he four-bet to 26,500. Mateos quickly folded, Stern asked for the stack size of his opponent and eventually folded.

Zhou showed and Stern grinned back. The November Niner is up to 400,000 chips and Enrico Coppola has about as much one table over. The Italian called a bet worth 5,200 by Javier Zarco on the turn before check-folding the river to another bet of 12,500.

Jason Wheeler wasted little time moving all in behind for around 80,000 and both players folded.

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Gleb Tremzin, Chance Kornuth and Bryn Kenney were the other three new entries for Day 2 with Kornuth and Kenney firing their second bullet. For the latter, it would only last some 15 minutes though and he was just eliminated by Yang Wang.

Wang opened to 4,500 from the hijack, Mark Teltscher flat-called from one seat over and then Kenney pushed starting stack from the button. Wang reshoved and Teltscher folded quickly.

Kenney:

The door card was the but it was soon followed by the , letting Wang jump out of his chair with a loud "yessss". The rest of the board ran out and Kenney was drawing dead on the turn already, quietly leaving the tournament area.
