Riess No More

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ryan Riess
Ryan Riess

A short-stacked Ryan Riess found his Waterloo against Chase Bianchi. Riess was a favorite preflop with {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} against Bianchi's {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, but the {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds} was gin for Bianchi. The {4-Spades} on the turn wrapped it up, making the {8-Spades} river meaningless.

Bosca Over a Milly

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Vicent Bosca
Vicent Bosca

There was already a sizable pot cooking between Daniel Strelitz and Vicent Bosca on a {J-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{K-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} board. Strelitz bet 80,000 and Bosca dipped into his timebank. After burning a card, he opted for a raise to 255,000.

This time, it was Strelitz who needed to burn through his time extensions, and he thought out loud about the possible holdings Bosca could have.

After using up two of his timebanks, Strelitz slid a tower of T-5,000 chips forward to indicate a call. Bosca rolled over {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the nut flush and moved up to over one million in chips.

Urbanovich Leaves Gofman Short

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

On a flop of {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, Dzmitry Urbanovich and Aleksandr Gofman got their stacks in with the former at risk for 170,000.

Dzmitry Urbanovich: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Aleksandr Gofman: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The {J-Hearts} turn and {8-Spades} river were both blanks and Gofman dropped to a short stack.

Leckey Eliminated by Chadha

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Carlos Chadha opened to 12,000 from middle position. Paul Leckey, on the cutoff, three-bet shoved for around 90,000. Action folded back to Chadha who made the call.

Carlos Chadha: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Paul Leckey: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

The runout was {3-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and Chadha stayed ahead, sending Leckey to the exit.

Urbanovich and Ho Double at the Same Time

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Maria Ho
Maria Ho

Jorge Cantos raised to 17,000 from the cutoff, Dzmitry Urbanovich three-bet shoved 95,000 on the button and Cantos called.

Dzmitry Urbanovich: {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Jorge Cantos: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

Urbanovich caught a ten during the {8-Clubs}{10-Spades}{A-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades} rundown to double up. At the exact same time at an adjacent table, Maria Ho shoved for 57,000 from middle position. Brian Altman asked for a count before making the call.

Maria Ho: {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Brian Altman: {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

The old poker saying "deuces never loses" held up as Ho remained best on a {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades} board.

Pantoja Knocks Out Mizrachi

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Robert Mizrachi ended up all in and at risk preflop for around 70,000 with the {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Felipe Pantoja had the dominating pocket pair in {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}.

The board of {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} brought no upset, and since neither player had a diamond in the hand, Mizrachi headed to the payout desk.

Clinkscales Jams; Stembera Doubles

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

With the turn showing {J-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{Q-Clubs}, Rex Clinkscales in the big blind checked over to Aleksandr Gofman in the under-the-gun position and the Russian bet 36,000. Clinkscales check-shoved 172,500 and Gofman asked for a count, then used two time banks before folding.

Moments later, Michael Stembera got his stack in with {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} against the {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} of Erik Lemarquand and won the flip thanks to a {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} board.

Set-Over-Set Debacle for Plesuv

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Pavel Plesuv
Pavel Plesuv

Pavel Plesuv raised to 11,000 first to act with the {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} over on the feature table and Pavel Veksler in the cutoff three-bet to 34,000 with the {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}, Plesuv called. The flop of {J-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs} gave both players a set and Plesuv check-called a bet of 27,500 to see the {5-Hearts} turn.

Plesuv checked once more and Veksler bet 86,500. With 308,000 behind, Plesuv check-shoved and Veksler snap-called.

"Jacks?" Plesuv immediately asked and Veksler nodded. Plesuv needed the case seven, but the river was the {6-Diamonds} to end his tournament in the final level of Day 2.

Kitai Eliminated by Greenwood

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Davidi Kitai
Davidi Kitai

Davidi Kitai raised to 34,000 from under the gun and left himself a blue T-5,000 chip behind. Sam Greenwood in the small blind checked the stack of Patrick Quinn in the big blind and moved all ion, Quinn folded and Kitai called.

Davidi Kitai: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Sam Greenwood: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

The {9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Spades} flop gave Greenwood a set and Kitai was left drawing dead on the {7-Spades} turn, the {6-Hearts} river a mere formality.
