Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Leon Sturm, a bracelet winner from last year's WSOP, joined flight 1b very late yesterday and began Day 2 with a small stack. He encountered his first setback when he lost a third of his chips on a 7♥4♣4♦Q♣ board against Vladimir Troyanovskiy.
A few hands later, Sturm found himself up against Troyanovskiy again when he went all in for 10,500 from the big blind after Troyanovskiy's opening raise of 4,000.
Leon Sturm: A♠9♣
Vladimir Troyanovskiy: 9♥10♥
What initially seemed promising turned sour when the board revealed 5♦3♥2♦10♦7♣, giving Troyanovskiy a pair of tens and resulting in Sturm's elimination.
