We missed the elimination of RunGood Ambassador Bernard Lee, but fortunately we were able to learn some details secondhand.
Lee's demise came after James Hall raised from the cutoff holding the and Lee moved all in from the big blind with . Hall made the call and picked up an open-ended straight draw on the flop, which also contained a diamond. The turn put a second diamond on the board to give Hall even more outs, and he hit when the spiked on the river.
Jeff Fielder managed to get his stack of 152,000 all in preflop and was flipping against Jose Mendoza.
Mendoza:
Fielder:
The flop was gin for Fielder, and after the appeared on the turn he just needed to dodge a seven on the river to double. That's just what he did too as the harmless rolled off. Fielder doubled on the hand while Mendoza was crippled.
Of the 73 players that returned for Day 2, no one had more than Adrian Jiminez. He used that stack to make a run into the money, but his journey just came to an end in 24th place.
Jiminez had grown short when he got his last 130,000 all in preflop holding the and was up against the of the red-hot James Hall.
The paired Jiminez, but he needed to do it again to survive. The turn made it a moot point as Hall made a set, and Jiminez made his way to the payout desk to collect $2,011 after the completed the board on the river.
"All in and a call," the dealer yelled in the last hand before the break.
We made our way over to discover action had exploded on a flop between Henry Gingerich and Mike Vanier. The former, who had a stack of 278,000, held the for the nut flush draw, and the latter, who was the shorter of the two with 271,000, had flopped trips with the .
With nearly 600K on the line, the dealer burned and turned the .
Gingerich made his flush, but he was not out of the woods as Vanier could still fill up. That proved easier said than done though as the useless bricked on the river. Vanier was clearly upset with his bad luck, and he had to exit in 23rd place for $2,011.
Adam Dinsmore raised to 29,000 from middle position and Jose Mendoza called off for 26,000 from the cutoff. Jeff Fielder came along from the big blind, and then check-folded after Dinsmore shoved the flop. Dinsmore tabled , which was ahead of Mendoza's . Neither the turn nor river was of any consequence, and Mendoza made his way to the payout desk in 22nd place to collect $2,011.
Robbie Kent got his stack of 212,000 all in preflop, and Kevin Jones, who had just 16,000 more than that, had him at risk.
Kent:
Jones:
It was a flip, and Jones was just looking to hold to score the knockout. That didn't happen though as the flop delivered Kent an ace. The turn meant Jones needed a nine on the river to claim the pot, but it didn't happen as the blanked.
With that, Kent scored a big double while Kent was left on life support.
