Joey Loves Them Folding The Ladies.

Thomas Merved opened from the button, Yuliyan Kolev reraised in the small blind and Joey Lovelady shoved from the big blind. Merved tanked and folded what he said later was {A-?} {Q-?} and Kolev was forced to call with {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs} against Lovelady's {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}.

The board came {J-?} {Q-?} {Q-?} {7-?} {8-?} with the Scouser feeling he got a little lucky that the small blind was making a resteal and forced the {A-?} {Q-?} out of the hand

"You'd have snapped me off!" said Lovelady as he stacked the 30,000 or so he had now in front of him.

It's All Wright for Hussain

Ash Hussain has doubled up, finding aces at just the right time. Marc Wright was the man with the inferior holding, his {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts} unable to deflect the bullets, {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}, despite a cheeky open-ended straight draw on a {10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{Q-Spades}{4-Clubs} board.

"Good to see you're loosening up in your old age," joked serial wise-cracker Nik Persaud.

Not Robin

I'm a sadist at heart, so at the start of every Day Two, I always see who the short stack is and lurk at their table like a blood-thirsty vulture. On this occasion, that man was Swede Nichlas Saarisilta, who with just 2,275 was in need of a miracle of biblical proportions.

Although he survived one all-in (pushing from under the gun and picking up the blinds uncontested), he couldn't duck the next, calling all in from the small blind after Robin Ylitalo had opened from early postion.

Fellow short stack Elsa Lo Chow also shoved from the small blind, and after Yliatalo threw in the extra shrapnel, the cards were on their backs:

Yliatalo = {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}
Chow = {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Saarisilta = {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

Board: {6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Spades}{J-Spades}

"Another hand perfectly played," complimented Aranud Mattern with a smile as the two early casualties slipped away.
