Seidel Doubles

From under the gun, Sam Trickett raised to 10,500. Erik Seidel was on the button and reraised to 25,500. Trickett moved all in to put the pressure on the shorter-stacked Seidel. He made the call for all of his chips.

When the cards were revealed, Trickett held the {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Seidel the {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}. The board was run through {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} and Seidel successfully doubled to around 150,000 while Trickett kicked back to 535,000.

Mortensen Rivers Quads to Bounce Ioli

Carlos Mortensen's chip stack on Day 1
Carlos Mortensen's chip stack on Day 1

Carlos Mortensen opened for 11,000 from middle position and Mark Ioli three-bet to 31,000 from the big bind. Mortensen called and they saw a {Q-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} flop. Ioli checked, Mortensen bet 35,000 and Ioli moved all-in for about 190,000. Mortensen made the call.

Ioli {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Mortensen {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

The turn was the {3-Spades}, making Ioli his flush, but Mortensen found the case queen to make quads on the river! A stunned Ioli hit the rail while Mortensen now has half a million in chips from which to construct his creative edifice-of-the-day.

Big River Bet Paid Off to Kelly by Ivey

From the cutoff seat, Phil Ivey raised to 11,000. Dan Kelly was on the button and three-bet to 30,700. Ivey made the call when action got back around to him and the two took a flop of {8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}.

On the flop, Ivey checked and Kelly fired 44,400. Ivey made the call. The turn added the {10-Spades} to the board and Ivey checked. Kelly checked behind. The river completed the board with the {5-Spades} and Ivey checked again to Kelly. Kelly fired a bet of 104,400 and sent Ivey into the tank.

A minute or so in, Ivey asked Kelly, "What's your name online?" Kelly didn't respond. Ivey then tanked for a little bit longer and made the call.

Kelly tabled the {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and Ivey mucked his hand.

"Good hand," said Ivey as Kelly raked in the pot to move up to 650,000 in chips. Ivey dropped to 230,000.

Mosseri Doubles Kings vs. Queens

Abe Mosseri and Richard Lyndaker got all the money in preflop after a raising war broke out between the two over on Table 371. Lyndaker held the {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}, but was one-upped by Mosseri's {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Mosseri dodged elimination and doubled to around 350,000 in chips. Mosseri was all in for 172,600 preflop. Lyndaker was left with 135,000.

Chip Counts

Trickett Increasing

Sam Trickett was in the small blind and Dmitry Vitkind in the big blind when the two saw a flop of {8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds} after some preflop action. Trickett fired 29,000 and Vitkind called.

The turn brought the {J-Clubs} and Trickett checked. Vitkind bet approximately 45,000 and Trickett called. The river was the {5-Hearts} and Trickett thought for a bit before firing 100,000. Vitkind gave it up and Trickett was pushed the pot.

Trickett did not report his overnight chip count and that's why he was listed on the official list from Harrah's as having only one chip. He came into Day 2 with 507,000 and now is approaching the 600,000-chip mark. Vitkind dropped to 145,000.

Ivan Demidov Eliminated by Phil Ivey

Phil Ivey opened for 11,000 from under-the-gun, Mclean Karr called from the cutoff, Ivan Demidov called in the small blind and Eugene Katchalov came along from the big blind.

The flop was {7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. The action was checked to Ivey, who bet 24,000. Karr folded and Demidov raised to 59,000. Katchalov got out of the way, and Ivey moved all-in. Demidov called for his remaining 140,000 in chips.

Demidov {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Ivey {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}

That's what we call set over set, boys and girls.

The turn was the {9-Clubs}, the river was the {K-Hearts} and Demidov's tournament came to an end. Thanks to that cooler, Ivey has some serious chips to work with now-- he's up to 390,000.

Buchanan Comes from Behind to Double

Jared Jaffee raised on the button to 8,000. Shawn Buchanan reraised all in from the small blind before Dave Sands reshoved all in from the big blind. Jaffee folded.

Sands held the {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and Buchanan the {A-Spades}{J-Spades}.

The board ran out {K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Sands doubled up Buchanan.

"I can't win with ace-queen," said Sands after losing the pot. "It's f***ing unreal."

Sands dropped to 200,000 while Buchanan doubled to 145,000.
