O'Brien Continues Chipping Up on Day 2

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
James O'Brien
James O'Brien

James O'Brien opened to 18,000 from under the gun and Viktor Utrobin defended his big blind.

Action checked all the way to the river on the {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{j-Hearts} runout and O'Brien eventually put out a bet of 12,000 on the river. Utrobin folded and said "I know you have it" and O'Brien was courteous enough to show the {a-Hearts} as the duo joined the rest of the players on break.

"I knew it!"

Petrov Rivers Nut Flush as Adrianopoulos Rivers Set of Jacks

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Chip leader from all Day 1 flights Sakis Adrianopoulos opened to 26,000 from early position and Veselin Petrov called from the small blind.

The flop came {6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{q-Hearts} and Adrianopoulos continued for 22,000. Petrov made the call.

Both players were extremely quick to check the {5-Diamonds} turn.

On the {j-Hearts} river, Petrov considered his options and slowly slid in a 20-stack of blue chips, equalling 100,000. Adrianopoulos took about three seconds before making the call.

Veselin Petrov turned over {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for the nut flush, which left Sakis Adrianopoulos wincing before he turned over {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}, giving the whole table a reason to wince as well.

Zimmermann Wins at Showdown

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Yasen Dichev raised to 20,000 from under the gun. He was called by Celine Zimmermann in the hijack.

The flop came {10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and Zimmermann called Dichev's 25,000 continuation bet.

The {9-Clubs} was the turn and Dichev bet 50,000. Again Zimmerman called.

The river was the {4-Hearts} and action checked through. Dichev showed {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for queen high while Zimmermann turned over {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for two pair to take down the pot.

Dichev had 140,000 left and was eliminated the very next hand.

Maugini had the better queen and Adrianopoulos was in a world of hurt.

El-Sayed Correctly Folds Pocket Kings, Yasyuchenya Up to 700,000

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Elena Yasyuchenya
Elena Yasyuchenya

Action was caught with around 250,000 in the middle on a {q-Spades}{6-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} board as Elena Yasyuchenya, from the big blind, had shoved over the top of Mohamad El-Sayed, who was seated under the gun.

El-Sayed, who had roughly 220,000 behind, agonized over the decision and needed to use time bank chips. After 90 seconds, he said "I think you're bluffing" and folded {k-Hearts}{k-Spades} face up.

Yasyuchenya showed the {q-Clubs} for trip queens as she raked in another pot.
