Day 2 Upon Us

Play for Day 2 is going to be held in the nearby Brasilia Room. It's just a 30-second walk from the Amazon Room and holds just 65 tables. This seems to be the only tournament taking place in the Brasilia room today (at least for now), so the players should be able to clearly focus on the task at hand.

The bags of chips have been set out and all the preparations have been made. The dealers were just briefed on how things should run today and all signs point to this tournament running extremely smoothly today.

The players are just moments away from being let in, and then play is scheduled to begin at 2:00pm PDT.

The cards will be in the air soon, so stay with us.

Level: 11

Blinds: 800/1,600

Ante: 200

Fast and Furious

The line at the payout table is already five people deep. It seems the short stacks have the "go big or go home" mentality in regard to mixing it up early.

Tom McLaughlin Eliminated

Tom McLaughlin was another early day 2 casualty. He made his stand with {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} but came up short against the {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds} of Travis Shatsky when the {A-Hearts} hit the flop. McLaughlin failed to improve and headed for the rail.

Denver Donaghe Eliminated

Denver Donaghe raised to 4,700 and Joel Nichols made the call. The flop was {5-Spades} {4-Clubs} {2-Spades}. Donaghe moved all in for 40,100 and Nichols called

Donaghe {9-Spades} {9-Hearts}

Nichols {A-Spades} {J-Spades}

Donaghe held the overpair but Nichols had overcards and the nut flush draw. The turn was the {7-Diamonds} but the river was the {4-Spades} making Nichols' flush and eliminating Donaghe.

Mark Kelly Eliminated

On a flop of {J-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {3-Diamonds} Mark Kelly moved all in for his remaining 7,900 and Brian Rissman looked him up.

Kelly {7-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}

Rissman {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs}

Rissman led with his pair of eights and another fell on the turn. The river was the {Q-Spades} and Kelly made his exit.

Sebastien Roy Eliminated

We can add Sebastien Roy's name to the list of early casualties. He made his exit holding {A-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} but ran into the {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts} of Michael Banducci. The money went in before the flop and although both men hit an ace, Banducci's kicker played and Roy headed for the exit.
