Time to Play Down to a GDAM Final Table
Here we are once again at PokerStars LIVE at the City of Dreams and we are getting ready for another day of thrilling poker action here in the GuangDong Ltd Asia Millions (GDAM).
After a massive day at the felt yesterday, the field of 71 players had made 54 rebuys and were eventually whittled down to 51 survivors. Of those players it is Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel who bagged the most chips, while Isaac Haxton and Sorel Mizzi arent too far behind.
The above will be in the best shape to make the money, but players like Mike McDonald, Igor Kurganov, John Juanda, Tobias Reinkemeier and Gus Hansen are also still alive and in with a chance to go all the way. The full Day 2 seating draw can be found in the live reporting blog below.
The plan for Day 2 is to play down to the official GDAM final table of eight players. That will also mean we have made the money, with the min-cash at 8th place worth HK$6,000,000 (US$774,193), while the eventual champion will take home a staggering HK$34,600,000 (US$4,464,516). Be sure to check out the full money situation on the payout page.
All the action is set to begin at 3:00 p.m. local time (12.00 a.m. PDT) and we will once again be on the floor, bringing you the live updates from the GDAM Main Event. Who will make the final table? Stay tuned and find out.
Level: 8
Blinds: 30,000/60,000
Ante: 7,000
The Cards Are Flying
Level 8
: 30,000/60,000, 7,000 ante
The 51 returning players have scrambled into their seats and the cards are in the air here on Day 2 of the GDAM Main Event presented by PokerStars.
Today we recommence with level 8 – blinds 30,000-60,000 with a 7,000-chip ante. There are plenty of short stacks, so we expect the early action to be fast and furious. Let’s do this!
Plan of the Day
Level 8
: 30,000/60,000, 7,000 ante
Today we play down to a final table of nine, then we eliminate one more player and call it a night once the official final table of eight remains. The top eight players will of course finish in the money.
Levels once again last 60 minutes each, with the players going on short break every two levels and a dinner break after four levels. As per the structure and the amount of chips in play, today’s action should last somewhere between six and eight levels. You can check out the structure below.
| Level | Blinds | Ante |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | 30,000-60,000 | 7,000 |
| 9 | 50,000-100,000 | 10,000 |
| 10 | 70,000-14,000 | 15,000 |
| 11 | 100,000-200,000 | 30,000 |
| 12 | 150,000-300,000 | 40,000 |
| 13 | 200,000-400,000 | 50,000 |
| 14 | 300,000-600,000 | 70,000 |
| 15 | 500,000-1,000,000 | 100,000 |
With so much cash on the line, make sure to also check out the full GDAM payout structure.
No JC Here
Level 8
: 30,000/60,000, 7,000 ante
JC Alvarado arguably has one of the toughest table draws here on Day 2, with Tore Lukashaugen, Tobias Reinkemeier, Bertrand "ElKy" Grospellier, Joseph Cheong and Greg Merson all at his table. Maybe that's why Alvardo hasn't arrived yet. His stack is currently losing a few antes as we await his arrival.
Lim Staying Active
Level 8
: 30,000/60,000, 7,000 ante
Australia's Aaron Lim is certainly no slouch at felt, winning APPT Seoul ealier this year, before winning the $5,000 WSOP APAC event and then going on to finish 2nd in the EPT Berlin High Roller. Lim is in today's action and we recently watched the young player staying active as he played a couple of hands.
The first hand saw Lim open the button and John Juanda called out of the big blind. On the 
flop, Juanda checked and Lim bet 150,000. Back on Juanda and as calmly as ever, he check-raised to 327,000. Lim quickly got out of the way and it was on to the next hand.
This time the action was opened up by Winfred Yu who bet 125,000. Lim made the call on his direct left and the rest of the table got out of the way. The dealer flipped over a 
flop and Yu quickly check-folded to a bet of 135,000.
JC in the House
Level 8
: 30,000/60,000, 7,000 ante
Never fear JC Alvardo fans, the prominent poker pro has recently ran into the room and sped into his chair. Apparently he got caught in a bit of traffic jam, but it's all good now as he is looking comfortable over on his tough table.
Brutal Cooler for Duhamel
Level 8
: 30,000/60,000, 7,000 ante
2010 WSOP champion Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel started the day with the chip lead and was certainly one of the favourites to make it all the way to the final table. That may no longer be the case as a brutal cooler has seen Duhamel lose half his stack.
Playing out over on the feature table, which we have limited access to, Duhamel and Zheng Tang got into a preflop raising war, with all the chips going in on with Duhamel six-bet jamming. When Tang tabled 
, Duhamel looked quite disheartened as his 
landed on the felt.
Unfortunately for Duahamel the 
board wouldn't bring Duhamel the help he needed and just like that Tang was the new chip leader, while Duhamel plummeted.
