"I am Chikkita!"

Level 16 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Yehuda "chiKKita banAAna" Cohen
Yehuda "chiKKita banAAna" Cohen

Yehuda Cohen is well-known around King's Casino, but under the name Chikkita or chiKKita banAAna. He is often seen playing with yellow clothing with a patch stating he is a Chikkita pro.

The reason for his banana-style apparel is that he is the owner of Chikkita Massage located next door to King's Casino.

Chikkita unbagged a big pile of chips to start Day 2, and it has only gotten bigger as the day has gone on.

He just added a little more to his stack in a hand that him and two players including Rehman Kassam. All three players checked a {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} flop.

Chikkita then bet 75,000 after then {J-Hearts} appeared on the turn. One of his opponents folded while Kassam opted to call. After Chikkita noticed he didn't take down the hand right then and there, he turned to Kassam and stated, "Oh, you are still in."

Chikkita then pushed out a pile of chips that more than covered the 275,000 that Kassam had left after the {4-Clubs} completed the board. Kassam quickly folded before and Chikkita showed that he had a straight, but not the nut one with {9-}{5-}.

One of the players commented about Chikkita showing his hand to which he said, "I am Chikkita," before adding more chips to his seven-digit stack.

First Break of Day 2

Level 15 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Players are now on their first 15-minute break of Day 2. During the break, the dealers will be racing off the 500-denominated chips.

Poker Is a Complicated Game

Level 15 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

In what might very well be one of the most confusing hands ever to take place at the King's Casino, Konstantinos Nanos fired out 37,000 into a pot of 65,000 on an {A-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Hearts} board. Martin Wrulich's hand was just inches from being mucked, as he had temporarily placed his cards over the betting line, but he successfully stopped the dealer in mucking them after a lengthy discussion about betting lines and protection of hands. Instead, he went out on his own terms a few minutes later as he decided to fold.

Action was now on Christian Stratmeyer who after a minute in the tank threw out a raise to 60,000. After 30 seconds a player at the table noted, how the minimum raise really should be 74,000, and Stratmeyer agreed and put out and additional 4,000 chips. It took almost another minute before that mistake was rectified and another 10,000 was put in the middle, and with action back on Nanos, he called rather quickly.

The {K-Spades} turn prompted a shove from Nanos for 154,000, and that put Stratmeyer in the deep tank once again. All of a sudden Nanos wanted to know, whether he could show one card to his opponent. Christian Scanti was summoned, but while they waited for him, a fourth player decided to call the clock on Stratmeyer.

Scanti made it to the table, confirmed that no cards were to be turned over untimely and started the count down on Stratmeyer, who seemed more interested in discussing whether it was fair for the clock to be called than actually pondering his decision.

Ultimately Stratmeyer flashed the {A-Diamonds} and mucked his hand, and Nanos scooped the pot after what must have seemed like an eternity to the other players at the table.

Anatoly Filatov Eliminated Before the Break

Level 15 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Anatoly Filatov
Anatoly Filatov

Partypoker Sponsored Pro Anatoly Filatov was just eliminated from the tournament in a quick fashion. The first hand he lost with was jack-nine against pocket kings. Then he lost a hand he was favored to win when his ace-queen was unable to hold against his opponent's ace-four.

After those two hands, Filatov's stack was fairly low. He then lost twice in flip situations when his king-jack was unable to improve against his opponent's ace-ten and his king-queen couldn't out flip pocket eights.

Despite Filatov missing out on a cash in the Main Event, he has had a good poker festival as yesterday he won the partypoker LIVE MILLION Germany €2,200 High Roller for €42,000 as part of a three-way deal.

Kassam and Breviglieri With Average Stacks

Level 15 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Rehman Kassam
Rehman Kassam

United Kingdom's Rehman Kassam shared after Day 1g ended and Day 2 began that his plan was to "spin, spin, spin" his stack. He spun it as high as 550,000 before he lost some small pots for it to go back down to 375,000.

Partypoker Sponsored Pro Natalia Breviglieri still is thinking about what could have been if she won the pot with aces, but in the meantime has regained some chips and is back up to 440,000.

People Busting at a Blistering Pace

Level 15 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Two levels are already in the books, and almost a hundred runners have already hit the rail, among them Romania's Andrei Grimberg and WSOP Europe bracelet holder Pavlos Xantopoulos.

In the other end of the specter is Jan Bendik. The Slovak is winning tons of smaller pots and is currently sitting on a healthy 1.4 million chips.

Jung Dirg on Unscheduled Break

Level 15 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Jung Dirg
Jung Dirg

Jung Dirg began Day 2 as the chip leader. We believe that is still the case as there is a stack of around 1.45 million where he was last seen sitting.

He is now nowhere to be found and believed to have taken a break earlier than the one that is scheduled at the end of the current blind level in 35 minutes.
