Pace Continues

[user65508]

What was a lightning fast day yesterday does not appear to be repeating itself thus far this afternoon. Once the money has been reached in a tournament, play typically goes faster until we approach the remaining few who have a good shot at making the final table.

But that is not the case here in the Brasilia room, where bustouts tend to be an occasional thing. We've lost more than twenty players in the first two levels of play and we still have quite a ways to go before reaching the final nine.

Klaser Cruising On Top

donpeters

Vladimir Poleshchuk raised to 6,000 preflop from the small blind and Martin Klaser called from the big blind.

The flop came {K-Hearts}

and Poleshchuk bet 12,000. Klaser raised to 36,000 and Poleshchuk called all in.

Klaser: {6-Hearts}

Poleshchuk: {A-Clubs}

The turn came the {4-Spades}

and the river the {9-Spades}

Klaser is now up to 170,000.
