Losing Players Fast

Level 18 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

We're not even two levels into Day 2 and we've already lost 33 players. At hour-long levels, that works out to losing one player every three and a half minutes or so. At this pace, we'll crack the money bubble (14 players to go) in no time.

Land Sets Sail

Level 18 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
John Land
John Land

"Cowboy" John Land had a rough going early on Day 2. He doubled a couple short stacks after losing {A-}{K-} to both pocket nines and fours. That left him short stack, and likely a bit frustrated. Things must have continued to get worse for Land, and ultimately led to his elimination as his former seat is now empty.

Cartwright Headed in the Right Direction

Level 19 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Kyle Cartwright, who started the day with 47,500, has been on quite the heater. The Harrah's Tunica Casino Champion recently eliminated an opponent when he held {K-Spades}{5-Spades} in the big blind against the {6-Spades}{7-Hearts} of the small blind on a board reading {K-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{K-Clubs}.

Cartwright's full house brought him one step closer to the money and gave him a stack of 150,000.

MacMurray's Kings Cracked

Level 19 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
ET MacMurray
ET MacMurray

A short-stacked player moved all in preflop holding {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and ran straight into the {K-}{K-} of ET MacMurray. Unfortunately for MacMurray, the flop came down {3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and gave his opponent a set. The {2-Diamonds} was no help, and MacMurray was left looking for a king on the river. It was not meant to be, however, as the {3-Diamonds} hit. MacMurray dropped to 220,000 after the hand.

From Penthouse to Outhouse

Level 19 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

ET MacMurray, who began the day as one of the big stacks, was recently eliminated from the tournament. He got all in preflop holding {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and was called by the {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} of Christopher Juul.

The {9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} flop paired Juul and left MacMurray in bad shape. The {9-Spades} turn and {2-Hearts} river ensured MacMurray's elimination from the WSOP-Circuit Harrah's St. Louis Main Event just shy of the money. On the other hand, Juul has managed to chip up to 215,000.
