Short Stack Salter Eliminated

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Jack Salter was down to just 30,000 chips, and in the space of three hands he tripled up and lost them all.

In the first hand, Salter was in all in from the small blind and up against two opponents. One folded to a bet from the other on the {k-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop, and Salter was now in need of help from the board to survive with {10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. The turn {4-Clubs} gave Salter trips and the lead against his opponent who held {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and top pair on the flop, but Salter held on the river to move up 120,000.

Just one fold later, Salter got his stack into the middle once more when he three-bet all in after an open from Alex Lindop. Salter's bet was called, and he held a dominating hand with {a-Spades}{j-Spades} against {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}.

The {2-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop was safe for Salter but the {q-Spades} turn but Lindop in the lead. Salter called for a ten on the river, but it didn't come, and he was eliminated from the proceedings.

Cure Takes Out Regonaschi

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Marco Regonaschi started the day with 372,000 but has been unable to continue with his chip building in Day 2.

Regonaschi was all in with pocket tens and in a flip against Frenchman Clement Cure who held ace-queen. The flop brought an ace to put Cure in the lead and despite Regonaschi desperately calling for a ten on the river it didn't come, and he was sent to the rail as Cure moved up to 850,000.

Geilich Doubles Up

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Ludovic Geilich had been going along well at the start of Day 2 and, slowly but surely, moved his stack in the right direction. However, he recently had dropped down to the 120,000 mark.

Just now, Geilich was all in with {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and able to achieve a full double up after one opponent called and the board ran out {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Hearts} to give the Scotsman trips.

Manana Closing In On Two Million

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

On a {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Spades} river, Joao Rodriguez Manana bet 218,000 into a pot of around that amount. His opponent was Upeshka De Silva.

"Are you bluffing?" asked De Silva. "Feels weird."

He went through a few combinations of hands that Manana could have, hands like ace-seven or six seven.

"Kind of have to call," continued De Silva, before plonking the chips in the middle of the table to call.

Manana turned over {7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for two pair and De Silva rechecked his cards before folding and handing over the chips to his opponent. Manana now sits on around 1,900,000 and is a potential chip leader in this event.
