Arthur Runs Away With the Lead

Level 1 : 100/100, 100 ante
Karen Arthur
Karen Arthur

At least three players have been eliminated already and that also includes Hasmukh Khodiyara as well as Dritan Arapi. The former appears to have vanished from the same seat as Valdir Cordeiro Dos Santos and Karen Arthur was stacking up even more chips.

"It's the seat of death, set over set queens versus eights," she remarked. Her stack has already hit two and a half times of what she started with and barely 45 minutes have passed so far. Cordeiro Dos Santos is back in the field already for attempt number two.

Argelazi Chips Up Early on Day 1b

Level 1 : 100/100, 100 ante

Eliran Argelazi found himself back at the very same table that he spent most of Day 1a on before he was eliminated and he started well once more. In a heads-up hand to the {10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{j-Spades}{5-Diamonds} river, he raised a bet to 7,600 and his opponent went deep into the tank. The clock was called on the opponent, who then called and Argelazi tabled {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for the nuts.

Ak-Khatri Jams Into Watts

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

Steve Watts check-called a bet worth 6,000 by Husseni Al-Khatri on the heads-up turn of {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and then checked again the {a-Spades} on the river. Al-Khatri then jammed for 7,900 and Watts reluctantly folded. When the hand was over, Watts asked "king-queen no good?" but received no reply from his table neighbour.

Bob Malvasi can also be found at the same table as well.

Ene Calls Correctly Against Arovaara

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

The heads-up turn of {j-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} brought a bet worth 6,500 by Tom Arovaara in the big blind and Gabriel Ene came along. The {10-Diamonds} fell on the river and Arovaara bet another 14,000. Ene went into the tank and eventually called.

"Good call," Arovaara said and mucked his cards. Ene didn't need to show but tabled his {a-Spades}{7-Spades} anyways. "I remember you from playing in the satellite, that's why I called," Ene told his opponent.

"You called with third pair? I won't bluff you if I remember it," Chris Da-Silva chimed in with a grin on the face.

Jordon Enters With a Special Strategy

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

"First hand is always blind," Terry Jordon announced and indeed three-bet to 2,000 without looking at his cards. The initial raiser called and they checked down the {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{9-Spades} board. Jordon was shown the {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and tabled the {a-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} to chop it.

"Not bad for playing blind," he joked and he made a small profit in the very first hand. Already sitting on two times the starting stack on the same table is Cedric Schwaederle, who scored an early knockout.

Jordon Loses a Bunch of Chips

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante
Terry Jordon
Terry Jordon

Terry Jordon three-bet to 2,000 blind and earned two callers to get one hand through with post flop play. He then opened to 2,000 for Cedric Schwaederle and the big blind to call. On the {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop, Jordon bet 1,000 and the big blind called for Jordon to then check his cards for the first time. Once checked to on the {9-Spades} turn, he moved all-in to force a fold.

Soon after, the blind preflop play continued as Julien Sitbon was among those to stick around. Sitbon raised the {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop to 4,000 and Jordon peeled one more card. The Frenchman asked for Jordon's stack and then bet 5,000, Jordon folded. "I like the way you play," Sitbon said in table chat and Jordon joked back "I don't".
