Vytautas Milbutas "Feeling Good" With Monster Chipstack

Will Shillibier

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

Overall chip leader Vytautas Milbutas has arrived just as tournament officials were announcing the shuffle up and deal. Wearing a hat and dark sunglasses he seemed subdued.

"I'm pretty tired actually," he explained, whilst searching the seating draw for his Day 2 table and seat.

"I've played a lot of cash and only got to sleep at 7am! But it's good, I'm feeling good.

"It's impossible to feel bad when you've got such a big stack like I have!"

We'll keep an eye on Milbutas's stack and see whether it continues to grow here on Day 2

Taller Eliminated by Cetindag

Will Shillibier

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

We said yesterday that there was a small group of players hovering just under 300,000, and we would have to wait and see just how many would look to kick on at the start of Day 2, and how many would be content to sit back and wait for the money.

Tezer Cetindag started today with just under 300,000 and opened here from the cutoff to 12,000. Vadim Taller was in the small blind and he three-bet all in for 86,000. The big blind folded and Cetindag called.

Taller:
Cetindag:

Taller's posture immediately brightened when he saw his opponent was dominated, but his head dropped when the Queen in the window of a flop was dealt. The turn was the giving him an additional gutshot out, but the river was the and Taller was eliminated.

With the board reading , Goga 27 moved all in and was called by table neighbor and big stack William Oberst.

Goga 27:
William Oberst:

"He has a lot of outs," someone at the table mentioned and indeed Oberst got there with the river. "Oh no," Goga 27 said and left the tournament area.
