Under a Hundo

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We've already ticked down to 94 players remaining, dropping 13 players here in the first 25 minutes of action. It seems likely that we'll be down around 80 by the end of the level.

We'll play until we have 24 players remaining this evening. Or hopefully, this afternoon.

Uribe Stacking Up

The only bit of this pot we caught was the part where the dealer required several pushes to move a big pile of chips over in front of Mayu Roca Uribe.

It was an enormous pot that pushed his stack up over the 200,000 mark, and we'll call it about 225,000 for now. We'll try and pry for some details, but Uribe has his hands full with stacking chips right now.

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Nacho and Leo
Nacho and Leo

Well, this should make for some entertaining poker. We have four Team PokerStars Pros left, and two of them have just been moved to the same table. And they're right next to each other. It's Nacho Barbero in the six seat at Table 5, and he and Leo Fernandez (Seat 7) are engaged in an animated conversation right now.

We'll try not to eavesdrop, but fortunately our Spanish is rusty to begin with. We will, however, be keeping a keen eye on that matchup.

Win One, Lose One with Fox

From the under-the-gun-plus-one position, 2011 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event champion Elio Fox raised to 3,200. Action folded to the player in the big blind and he made the call to see the {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop. After the big blind checked, Fox bet 3,300. His opponent, with 43,600 behind, folded and Fox won the pot.

On the next hand, Fox opened from the under-the-gun position to 3,200. Action moved around the table with some folds before it fell on the cutoff seat. The cutoff, Daniel Trotta Borges, three-bet to 9,000. Play then folded back to Fox and he gave it up.

After those two hands, Fox's gained 2,200 total.

Over 200 Dimes for DNegs

Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu is up over 200,000 in chips (10 times the original starting stack) here on Day 2 in the early goings. He just three-bet a Casio Pisapia under-the-gun open of 3,500 to 8,700 and won the pot preflop. That's all we've got, but when he stack is up to 208,000, we definitely feel it's worth reporting.

So Long, Solari

Juan Manuel Perez Solari came into this Day 2 with close to 100,000 chips, but this second stanza was unkind to him.

He was all the way down to just 3,400 when he called all-in with {5-Spades} {5-Hearts} in a three-way pot. A gentleman holding {8-Spades} {8-Clubs} ended up with the chips as the board ran {K-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}, and Solari has been sent off.

Uribe "Down" Under 300,000

Mayu Roca Uribe
Mayu Roca Uribe

Either we were a little short counting Mayu Roca Uribe a few minutes ago, or he's been dragging some pots while our backs were turned. Either way, he was sitting with just about 300,000 chips to start this hand that we joined on fourth street.

The board showed {10-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {4-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}, and George Powidzer led out with a bet of 6,400 into a pot of about 9,000. Uribe raised to 16,300, and that folded the third player in the pot. Powidzer quickly called, though, and the {7-Clubs} landed on the river. Powidzer checked quickly, and Uribe spent about a minute pondering before checking it back.

Powidzer had gotten there, it appears. He tabled {6-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}, and Uribe held his cards with a sour look on his face. He eventually dropped them into the muck, slipping back to about 275,000. That's still up about 25bb from where we had him a half hour ago.
