Harold Ichbia opened to 5,500 from under the gun and it folded around to Pablo Brito Silva in the cutoff who moved all in for 20,000. Markkos Ladev elected on a raise to 37,000 from the small blind and Ichbia quickly got out of the way.
Pablo Brito Silva: Q♦Q♣
Markkos Ladev: K♥Q♥
Silva was in great shape, and when the board ran out 10♣9♣3♣4♣K♣, it was the queens that made a flush to secure the double up for Silva.
Mikita Badziakouski was already sitting among the chip leaders when he made the raise to 5,000 from under the gun. Adrian Mateos was in the cutoff and three-bet to 15,000. Badziakouski matched the bet and a flop was dealt.
The 9♦J♥10♥ would be the last cards dealt this hand, as Badziakouski check-raised Mateos' 12,500 continuation-bet to 40,000. Mateos quickly folded and Badziakouski added even more chips to his stack, solidifying his position among the top.
Florian Guimond opened to the minimum of 5,000 from the hijack. Murad Ahkhundov in the cutoff had been maneuvring a small stack all day and fired his last 30,000 chips in the middle for an all-in.
Guimond asked for a count, thought for a bit, and opted to fold for the twelve big blind shove.
Patrick Bruel and Sam Grafton had arrived on the flop when the action was caught. With 20,000 in the middle, Bruel bet 5,500 into the 20,000 pot from under the gun. Grafton was in the cutoff and made a raise to 16,000. Bruel thought for a bit but called within his allotted time.
On the 2♠ turn Grafton downsized a bit to 15,500, but the smaller bet still made Bruel opt to check-fold his hand. Grafton has not had the hottest of starts on Day 2, but he won some chips back with this pot to put himself over the 200,000 mark again.
Dimitar Yosifov opened the action to 5,000 from the cutoff and only Adrian Mateos made the call on the button.
The flop came 10♠9♠2♥ and Yosifov continued for 8,000, which Mateos called. On the J♦ turn both players tapped the table and the dealer put out the 10♣ river.
Yosifov took a moment before sliding in a bet of 30,000 and Mateos went in the tank. After just under 30 seconds of thought, Mateos let his hand go and the pot was sent to Yosifov.
Level: 13
Blinds: 1,000/2,500
Ante: 2,500
The 81 remaining players are now on a 20-minute break.
Steve O'Dwyer opened to 4,500 from the button before Dimitar Danchev made it 19,000 to go from the big blind. O'Dwyer paid the extra 14,500 and a flop was dealt.
Q♦8♣J♦ was spread across the table and Danchev continued betting by putting 11,000 chips in the middle. O'Dwyer was not ready to abandon the hand yet and he called for the same amount.
Danchev slowed down on the 9♥ turn and checked to O'Dwyer. O'Dwyer chose to take over the betting lead and fired 23,000. A quick fold from Danchev followed, putting O'Dwyer in the top echelons of the chip counts. He now plays over 300,000, more than double average.
