G Up, G Down

[user22113]

"Tony G" Guoga has had a busy Day 2 thus far. He picked up pocket queens on two consecutive hands with opposite results.

The first time around, the G's opponent was all in with with ace-king versus his pair. Tony hit a set on the flop and his opponent did not recover, boosting Guoga's stack to 125,000.

The following hand, Tony opened to 3,200 under the gun and was called by one player. They checked the {9-Diamonds}

flop, delivering the {6-Clubs}

on the turn. Tony bet 6,000 and his opponent called, landing the {2-Spades}

on the river. Not slowing down, Guoga fired one final bet of 20,000, and his opponent immediately called.

"Set?" asked Tony. Sure enough, his opponent tabled {6-Spades}

, having bested the pocket queens this time. Still, the gregarious Guoga is up on the day, sitting with about 95,000.

You Spin Me Right Round...

[user76023]

Benny Spindler may look just like the emo emoticon on Skype, but don't let the hair draped over his face fool you, he has an excellent tournament record.

Yuri Kerzhapkin raised to 3,600 from the cutoff and Spindler repopped it to 9,000. Kerzhapkin called but then folded to a 10,000 bet on the {9-Spades}

flop.
