Kaiser On A Rampage, Takes From Mizrachi

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Ronny Kaiser started the day as one of the short stacks but has been on an absolute tear on Day 2. The Swiss EPT winner has been trending nothing but up in the past hours and currently sits behind a towering stack of 640,000. Kaiser recently took down another hand in which Robert Mizrachi paid him off.

It was three-way action on a {2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{7-Hearts} turn where another player bet 21,500. Kaiser called, as did Mizrachi. On the {A-Clubs} river, the first player checked, Kaiser bet 18,000, Mizrachi called, and the other player folded.

Kaiser showed {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, Mizrachi couldn't beat it and mucked.

Kaplan and Sammartino Go Bust

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

We found Shiguang Zeng putting Jordan Kaplan at risk preflop with {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} against {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. The flop brought {6-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, and no queen emerged to save Kaplan. He sent his 100,000 or so to Zeng.

At another table, Dario Sammartino busted, reportedly losing all in with kings against ace-king.

Ladouceur Uses Three Extensions

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Marc-Andre Ladouceur had bet 25,000 in middle position on a board of {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and gotten shoved on by his neighbor, Toby Lewis. Ladouceur only had about 70,000 back, and he went deep into the tank — so deep that he used all three time extensions before mucking right before his hand was dead.
