Ashby Sends Argyros to the Rail

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante
Billy Argyros
Billy Argyros

Geoffrey Mooney opened the action with a raise to 4,200 and got called by Richard Ashby on the button as well as Billy Argyros in the small blind and John Dalessandri in the big blind. They all checked down the {2-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} flop and the action was checked to Ashby on the {5-Hearts} turn.

The Brit bet 15,000 into a pot of 16,800 and Argyros eventually called all in for his last 4,900 whereas all other opponents folded.

Argyros: {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {4-Clubs}
Ashby: {4-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {3-Spades}

The {2-Spades} on the river completed the board and Argyros packed his belongings.

Carle's Time Cut Short

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Mitch Carle was one of the players to late register this tournament at the start of Day 2, but his time in Event #5 was cut abruptly short courtesy of Ismael Bojang.

Carle actually managed to double to 30,000 before getting his stack all in in a four-bet pot.

Carle: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}
Bojang: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Carle ran his kings straight into aces, and he paid the price for it after the {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts} board failed to help him.

Jomeen Next to Fall

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante
Karim Jomeen
Karim Jomeen

Nathan Pan raised from the button and Karim Jomeen reraised the pot only for Pan to put him all in. Jomeen called it off and the two of them tabled their cards:

Jomeen: {2-Hearts} {6-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}
Pan: {Q-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {J-Hearts}

Pan found an open ended straight draw on the {9-Spades} {3-Hearts} {10-Clubs} flop and improved further with the {9-Clubs} on the turn. Only one of the two remaining kings could save Jomeen, but it wasn't meant to be as the {6-Hearts} fell on the river.

Battle of The Sams Results in Elimination of Ngai

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante
Sam Ngai
Sam Ngai

Over on table 11 we saw the flop of {2-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {Q-Spades} and Sam Ngai as well as Sam Higgs were involved in a raising war that saw Ngai all in and at risk for his tournament life with {K-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}. His top two pair were dominated by the {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {K-Spades} {4-Clubs} of Higgs and he needed running cards for a straight or backdoor quads in order to stay alive.

The {J-Diamonds} on the turn saw Ngai drawing dead and the meaningless {9-Diamonds} on the river completed the board.

Watson vs. Roberts

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Brian Roberts was one of the seven players to late register at the start of Day 2, and he got things going right with a double through Mike Watson.

Roberts got his stack all in preflop and was on the better end of a kings-versus-queens situation.

Roberts: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Watson: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

The {3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop kept Roberts in the lead, and the {K-Spades} turn actually guaranteed him the double with a set. The meaningless {7-Spades} was put out on the river for good measure, and Roberts raked in the pot.

Early Double for Rossiter

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Action exploded on a {q-Spades}{9-Spades}{a-Clubs} flop between Nathan Pan and Jeff Rossiter that resulted in the latter getting his stack all in.

Rossiter: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}{2-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Pan: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Rossiter had flopped top pair with a flush draw, but he was behind the set of Pan. the {10-Spades} turn have Rossiter the lead with the said flush, but he needed to avoid the board pairing to stay alive. That's just what he did too as the dealer burned and put out the {7-Diamonds} on the river. Ship the double to Rossiter.

Heimiller the First to Go

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante
Dan Heimiller
Dan Heimiller

Dan Heimiller began the day on an extreme short stack, so it was really no surprise that he was the first player to fall.

He was in the big blind when he got his chips in against Richard Johnston.

Heimiller: {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Johnston: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

Johnston was ahead with his kings, and they held as the board ran out a dry {7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Spades}{4-Spades}.
