Stammen Bet-Folds the River

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante
Keven Stammen
Keven Stammen

When we arrived at Keven Stammen's table, he was putting in 2,100 to call a preflop raise from Antonio Estorino Da Silva, who was under the gun. Stammen check-called 2,000 on the {3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} flop, but the {a-Hearts} turn prompted him to come out betting with 3,600. Da Silva called, and the {5-Spades} finished out the board. Stammen blasted out 8,000, but Da Silva was far from intimidated by the big bet, as he slid in all of his big chips, which appeared to be 24,000. Stammen folded quickly.

"Nice hand, buddy," he said.

Dreaming Big

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Not every player here is a big name poker pro. Case in point, Mary Pudmoreff, an online qualifier from Canada who won her seat via PokerStars. Pudmoreff has lifetime live tournament earnings of $4,200 and is now taking part in this five-figure buy in Main Event. She recently took down a pot after three-betting from the big blind against her opponent's button raise. Her opponent made the call and would call Pudmoreff's 1,600 bet on a flop of {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}.

He would relent and fold when Pudmoreff bet 2,000 on the {Q-Diamonds} turn. She's a bit under what she started the day with but still has plenty of chips to work with as the tournament approaches the end of the second level.

Bellande Shows Up

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

The legendary Jean-Robert Bellande has made his arrival and taken a seat at one of the tables at the edge of the room. Bellande, well known for his exploits on and off the felt (including an appearance on the popular reality show "Survivor"), as well as his popular twitter handle, has more than $1.3 million in live cashes, and we'll see if he can run up a stack and captivate the poker world once more.

Haxton Bluffs Off a Chunk Before Break

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

We found Isaac Haxton in the big blind firing out 10,500 on a board of {j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs} in the last pot before break. Sergey Pronin quickly called from the button, and Haxton showed {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a pair of sevens, no good against Pronin's {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}, good for a flush.

Players are on break for 15 minutes.

Kamran Coolers Porter

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

We caught the aftermath of a big pot between Michael Kamran and Rep Porter, with the latter being chopped down to about 10,000 after running his {k-}{k-} into the {a-}{a-} of Kamran, who apparently bought in and took a seat at a very fortunate time, as he hasn't been seated at the table for too long.

Sansour Shows the Quads

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

We found Ben Warrington considering calling off his last 10,500 after he had bet 6,000 from the button on a board of {j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and saw Martin Sansour put him all in. Sansour's head was buried deep in his crossed arms as Warrington considered. Finally, the accomplished British player breathed deep and flicked his cards into the middle.

Sansour showed first the {8-Diamonds}, then the {8-Hearts} for quads. Warrington said he folded a boat.
