"Welcome to the Jungle"

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

Farid Jattin defended his big blind against the under-the-gun raise of Caitlin Hall and a pot of around 55,000 emerged until the {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts} river. Jattin led for 27,700 and Hall glanced over at her opponent, then eventually called. Jattin flashed the {8-Spades}{4-Spades} for a rivered straight and Hall mucked.

Ole Schemion's only comment after the showdown was "welcome to the jungle."

Kitai Takes Hit

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

Davidi Kitai was at one point close to 100,000 chips, but his stack has now dwindled considerably after an encounter with Oleg Titov. Titov scored the double with {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} on a {5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} board, and that left Kitai with just to 40,000.

Eugene Katchalov Falls to Kacper Pyzara

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Eugene Katchalov
Eugene Katchalov

Eugene Katchalov was one of the seven players that got a fresh stack this morning by doing a last-minute reentry, but entering a tournament with just 25 big blinds requires you to at least win a few coin flips to stay in it, and Katchalov just didn't have that luck.

Preflop he got it all in with {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} against the {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} of Kacper Pyzara, but with no kings or aces in sight, the Team PokerStars Pro hit the rail.

Zhao Busts Zayonts and Agerskov

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

Rasmus Agerskov won a Side Event yesterday evening after Day 1 of the High Roller had concluded and registered for the event before the start of Day 2. Unfortunately, the Dane won't be adding another trophy to his collection in this event, as Dong Zhao just knocked out him as well as Alexander Zayonts.

Zhao raised from early position, Agerskov just called and Zayonts shoved for around 40,000 in the small blind. Zhao reshoved and Agerskov called all in for around 70,000.

Alexander Zayonts: {A-}{9-}
Rasmus Agerskov: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Dong Zhao: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}

The {K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop improved Zhao, but Agerskov still had some outs. On the {J-Clubs} turn, the Dane picked up a gutshot, however, the {8-Diamonds} river was a blank and Zhao secured the double knockout.

Zeiter's Flush is Bigger

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

Oleg Titov defended his big blind against the raise of Diego Zeiter in early position and a pot of 45,000 emerged until the {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Clubs} turn. Titov shoved and Zeiter quickly called to reveal a setup with flush over flush.

Diego Zeiter: {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Oleg Titov: {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

The {5-Spades} river was already meaningless, and Zeiter doubled up for 58,200, leaving Titov short.

Schemion and Mattsson Both Secures Double-Ups

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

Mattsson Doubles
Preflop Armando Collado raised it up from early position to 5,700, and both Govert Metaal and Liviu Ignat found that to be a fair price. However, they hadn't calculated in the shove of 68,600 that followed a few folds later when Mattsson shoved all-in from the small blind.

Collado thought for a bit before announcing a call, and Metaal and Ignat quickly got out of way.

Armando Collado: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Simon Mattsson: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

The flop of {7-Spades}{10-Hearts}{J-Spades} gave Collado additional outs, but neither the {9-Hearts} on the turn or the {9-Clubs} on the river would do it for the Nicaraguan, and Matsson scored the double.

Schemion Doubles
Ole Schemion went out of the Main Event earlier on the day, and haven't had too much luck in this €10,300 High Roller so far. He did just score a double, when his {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} made two pair against the {A-Clubs}{6-Spades} of Martin Kozlov all in preflop.

Board ran out {7-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, and Schemion dragged the pot.

Grimaldi's Queens no Good

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

Alexandros Kolonias and Pasquale Grimaldi have been eliminated. The latter got it in before the flop with {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} against the {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} of Cristian Egues and the Spaniard found two aces on the board {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} to score the knockout.

Down to 56 Players

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

After just over 90 minutes played on Day 2, the initial field of 80 hopefuls has been cut down to just 56 and another table just broke. The most recent casualty was Viacheslav Buldygin, who sent over his stack to fellow Russian Alexander Lakhov.

Jattin Cracks Hall's Aces

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

The cards of Caitlin Hall were already in the muck while the board showed {Q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{3-Clubs}. Farid Jattin had {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} tabled and his stack was counted, the Colombian doubled through Hall for 75,900.

According to Charlie Carrel, it was Martin Kozlov who opened the action with a raise, Jattin three-bet in the small blind and Hall four-bet in the big blind. Kozlov folded, Jattin five-bet shoved and Hall snap-called with aces only to get two-outered.

Jordi Urlings Sees the Writing on the Wall

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Georgios Zisimopoulos
Georgios Zisimopoulos

Jordi Urlings just hit the rail after a blind-versus-blind encounter against Georgios Zisimopoulos. The players got it all in preflop, Urlings with {K-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Zisimopoulos with {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}, and after the flop fell {Q-Spades}{A-Spades}{8-Clubs}, Urlings was very aware of his fate. The Dutchman stood up and collected his things, and when the {2-Spades} rolled off on the turn, it was all over.

The river was a meaningless {5-Clubs}, and Zisimopoulos collected the pot while Urlings were already halfway out the door. James Akenhead followed him there shortly after.
