Mohsin Done in By Running Diamonds
Level 2
: 25/50, 0 ante
After two players had limped, another player opted to raise to 125. Mohsin Charania called from the button, another player came along, and the limpers put in the additional chips to make it five-way action to the 
flop.
Action checked to Charania, who bet 450 holding a set with the 
. One of the limpers then check-raised to 1,100, the original raiser flatter, and Charania three-bet all in for 5,700. Only one player called him holding 
with two diamonds.
Charania was in a great spot to win the large pot, but the running 
turn and 
river was a dagger through his heart as his opponent made a runner-runner flush.
"That was stupid," Charania lamented before taking his leave from the tournament.

The Moony Rises
Level 2
: 25/50, 0 ante
With 200 in the pot and four players in the hand, the flop came down 
and the player in the small blind checked. Jeffrey Moony then bet 200 from the big, an early-position player called, and Jonathan Dimming, who won the Millionaire Maker event for $1.3 million this past summer, came along from middle position. The small blind folded and it was three-way action to the 
turn, which everyone checked.
When the 
completed the board on the river, Moony fired out 700 and chased off both the early-position player and Dimmig.

Lisandro Takes Henson to Broadway
Level 2
: 25/50, 0 ante
"Well that was quick," Ray Henson said via social media. "Wow, very unbelievable."
Henson then explained that action folded to him on the button and he raised to 100 holding the 
. Jeff Lisandro then three-bet to 300 from the small blind, Henson called, and the flop came down 
. They got it all in, and Henson was a huge favorite against Lisandro's 
all-red hand. Unfortunately for Henson, an offsuit jack spiked and Lisandro scored the knockout with a Broadway straight.

Danzer Sits Down Next to Shack-Harris
Level 2
: 25/50, 0 ante
George Danzer recently entered the tournament, and as fate would have it he was seated to the immediate right of Brandon Shack-Harris. The two are currently locked in a heated race for the 2014 World Series of Poker Player of the Year, and just yesterday Danzer took the lead by a couple points.
In a recent hand, a player opened for 150 and Danzer called. Ami Barer came along from the button, the small blind called, and four players saw a flop of 
. Two checks saw Danzer bet 550, and it did the trick as all three of his opponents folded.
Danzer has gotten off to a fast start, while Shack-Harris is on the short side of things.
