Loewenthal Falls as Calenzo Wins Flip

Eli Loewenthal raised to 32,000 from the button and then Kevin Calenzo reraised all in from the big blind for about 375,000. Loewenthal called and was all in for about 320,000.

Calenzo: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Loewenthal: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Spades} and Caleno improved to a full house, but he never fell behind in the hand. He's now up to about 700,000 in chips while Loewenthal was sent to the rail in 28th place.

The Best Kasputis Can Get

Steven Gilletly opened-shoved his last 130,000 into the pot with {A-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}, needing to make something happen with his 10bb. Unfortunately for him, he ran into the {7-Spades} {7-Diamonds} of Jim Kasputis.

The dealer would provide no help for Gilletly either, running out a board of {10-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} to end his day. There are 28 players left, and we're one knockout away from our three-table redraw.

Sad Gladwell

Peter Panos came in raising to 23,000, and Jim Gladwell made the call in position. Big blind (and big stack) Joseph Roppolo also called the extra, and it was three ways to the flop.

The dealer spread out {6-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}, and that brought all the betting action. It was Gladwell and Roppolo going at it, and it ended with Gladwell moving all in for about 400,000. Roppolo instantly called, turning up the {6-Clubs} {9-Hearts} for the flopped full house. "Well, I guess I got outs," Gladwell said glumly, tabling his {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}.

There would be no outs for Gladwell, however, on the turn {5-Hearts} and river {5-Clubs}. Unable to beat six-nine with pocket tens, Jim Gladwell has become the latest victim of Day 2. The board shows 32 players left.

Hotaling Cooled Off

Casey Hayes opened with a raise to 28,000. Peter Hotaling reraised all in from the small blind for 245,000 and then James Gladwell reraised all in for 267,000. Hayes let his hand go after tanking for a few minutes.

Hotaling's hand wasn't looking so hot. He had the {A-Spades}{J-Hearts} up against the {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} for Gladwell. The board ran through {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and Gladwell won the pot, sending himself well over 500,000 in chips and eliminating Hotaling from the tournament.

Dropping Treys

From the button, Jim Gladwell raised to 32,000 before small blind Edwin Choi moved all in for 181,000. In the big blind, Kathy Liebert announced an all-in reraise of her own, and Gladwell tanked for a while and folded, later claiming he'd held eight-nine suited. In any event, Choi was at risk as the cards were turned up. "You weren't supposed to call," he said, knowing the news was not going to be good.

Showdown
Choi: {10-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}
Liebert: {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}

Things would improve in a hurry for the at-risk player as the dealer rolled out an unlikely {3-Hearts} {3-Spades} {4-Diamonds}. A player at the table claimed he folded the case three, so it was quite the find for Choi. The turn {8-Spades} and river {8-Hearts} didn't change anything, and Choi has doubled up in the unlikeliest of fashion. He's back over 400,000 now, while Liebert has been knocked back to just 142,000.
