Nines For Harwood

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

In a raised pot, Vittorio Dicrisco and Loni Harwood took a flop of {J-Hearts}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. Dicrisco checked over to Harwood who knuckled the table as well.

The {8-Clubs} dropped down on fourth street and Dicrisco bet 2,100 which Harwood quickly called. The {3-Spades} fell on the river and Dicrisco fired a final bet of 2,600. Harwood called as well and showed {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. Dicrisco tabled {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for the second best hand and Harwood dragged in the pot. The World Series of Poker bracelet winner is now sitting on 64,000 in chips.

Lensen's Dream Ends

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Dutchman Kevin Lensen qualified for the 2013 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, and an adventure it truly has been. Lensen traveled abroad for the first time in his life and brought his dad along for the journey.

Unfortunately for the amateur player his quest for poker immortality ended early on Day 2 and he explained to us what happened.

Lensen looked down on queen-jack suited in the small blind and called a 2,000-chip raise from the player in the cutoff. The button called as well and the flop brought out {J-}{9-}{3-}. Both blinds checked and the initial raiser bet 3,000.

Lensen check-raised all in for his remaining 23,000 chips and the big blind folded. The initial raiser called with {J-}{9-}, and despite getting some more outs on the turn when an {8-} popped up, it was all over for Lensen on the river.

The Dutchman explained to us that he's going to enjoy some time in the sun, play some of the smaller side events and enjoy the PokerStars party on Sunday night.

Updated Chip Counts; Ryan Riess Out

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

The reigning World Series of Poker Main Event champion Ryan Riess is one of the recent eliminations.

Haxton Playing the "Nuts"

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

PokerStars Team Online player Isaac Haxton began Day 2 with a very short stack of 2,100 in chips, but he has since turned things around and moved back to 15,500.

On his first double, Fedor Holz raised all in from early position for 5,100 before Matthew Fox reraised to isolate. Haxton was in the big blind and called all in with the {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}. Holz held the {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, and Fox had {A-}{Q-}.

"Waited for the nuts," said Haxton.

The flop, turn, and river ran out {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, and Haxton tripled up.

An orbit later, Haxton raised preflop and everyone folded. He showed the {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}.

"Only ace-king suited. That's the only hand I'm playing all day," Haxton commented.

Shortly thereafter, Haxton was all in again. This time, he had the {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} and was up against the {A-Spades}{10-Clubs} for his opponent. The board ran out {6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, and Haxton doubled up again.

Rough Start For O'Brien

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

"I'm feeling good, but it's not been a good day so far," Dan O'Brien just said as he dropped quite a few chips in the first level of the day.

A few minutes later we noticed O'Brien involved in a three-way pot when the board showed {5-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}. The player in the small blind checked after which Jaime Eli Kaplan bet 3,000 from the big blind.

O'Brien tanked for a bit and called from the cutoff and the small blind quickly folded.

On the turn the {2-Clubs} hit and Kaplan bet another 6,200, O'Brien called once more.

The river completed the board with the {9-Diamonds} and Kaplan threw out another 13,700. O'Brien let go of his hand again and dropped down to below the starting stack.

Jones Knocked Back

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Aaron Jones jammed all in on the {10-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} board, and his opponent tank-called for his tournament life. Jones had the {Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, and his opponent the {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. The river was the {8-Clubs}, and that meant Jones lost the hand. He sent over the 34,400 in chips he owed to his opponent and was left with about 12,000.
