First Break on Day 2 Underway

Level 10 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

The first two hours of play have boosted the field to 218 entries and there are 77 players remaining as they headed into the first 15-minute break of the day. During that time, the T-500 chips will be raced off as they are no longer needed for the rest of the tournament.

Deppe Eliminated by Rehmtullah

Level 10 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Fabian Deppe
Fabian Deppe

With the flop showing 9♦3♥2♥, Fabian Deppe had checked and Shazin Rehmtullah bet 12,500 for Marko Nortje to call in the next seat.

Deppe then check-jammed for 61,000 and Rehmtullah just called.

"I will fold, I think he has a set," Nortje said pointing to his table neighbour.

Fabian Deppe: J♥4♥ All in
Shazin Rehmtullah: A♠A♥

The aces held on the 6♣ turn and J♠ river to send earlier big stack Deppe to the rail.

Mehta Eliminated by Poonhath

Level 10 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Kamlesh Mehta
Kamlesh Mehta

Rajeev Poonhath opened from under the gun and was then one of two players to call the short-stacked all-in of Kamlesh Mehta for 29,500 in the next seat, as Sugen Singh also flat-called in the small blind.

Both active players checked the 9♠9♣4♦ flop to the 5♥ turn. Singh checked again and then folded when Poonhath bet 7,000.

Kamlesh Mehta: A♦5♦ All in
Rajeev Poonhath: 4♠4♥

Mehta needed a nine or five but the 8♦ river ended his run.

Poonhath chipped up to more than two starting stacks and has one more entry secured in case things don't go as planned, as he won one of today's flip not long ago.

Biru Asefa raised to 7,000 and Jay Kamli called for Jerome Bradpiece to then push for 56,500 on the button. Patrice Ah-Nien reraised to 200,000 in the small blind and isolated successfully.

Jerome Bradpiece: A♥Q♣ All in
Patrice Ah-Nien: A♣K♥

Asefa said he had folded a "big pair" but the K♠K♦J♦ flop gave Ah-Nien trips. "Not that big," another player joked to Asefa.

The 3♣ turn and 8♦ river were blanks and Bradpiece departed.

Harold Brooks

With some 145,000 in the middle to the J♥9♥2♦3♣3♠ river, Harold Brooks jammed for 108,000. Praful Patwa asked for an exact count and reluctantly called.

"Good call," Brooks said as he exposed the 8♣8♠ for eights and treys. Patwa had that beat with the J♠10♥ to score the knockout.
