Get Ready for Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of Event #54, the last of the open-field, $1,000 buy-in no-limit hold'em events. After two Day Ones, we have 586 players returning today with hopes of winning a WSOP gold bracelet and the $570,960 first prize due the winner.

But first things first. Or burst things first, as in the money bubble.

The top 396 finishers will get paid in this event, meaning we are a little under 200 eliminations away from hitting the cash. If today goes like previous $1K events, we'll likely see a lot of eliminations early then a significant slowdown when we edge close to that money bubble.

While the short stacks will all be trying to double up right away in the hope of lasting to that moment, those at the top of the leaderboard will have other concerns in mind today. Tommaso Briotti, Eelke Arjaans, and Andrew Talbot all return with more than 70,000 today.

But again, first things first. It's still early, and the tourney will not be won today.

Action begins at 2:30 p.m. local time -- see you back here then!

Level: 9

Blinds: 300/600

Ante: 75

Cards in the Air

We're underway!

A pretty busy day here at the Rio as have many events happening at once. Our event has players both in the Pavilion and Amazon Rooms, although eventually all will be over in the Amazon.

There are 25 minutes remaining in Level 9 as we begin play today.

And So It Begins

A player in middle position made a standard opening raise, then Michael Woods reraised all in behind him. Chris Klodnicki was next to act, and after getting a count on Woods' raise -- about 12,000 -- Klodnicki said he was reraising over the top for his stack, too. The others, including the original raiser, folded, and the two remaining players showed their cards:

Woods {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Klodnicki {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The board came {3-Spades}{5-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{2-Spades}... {4-Hearts}. That river gave Woods a straight, and doubled him to about 25,000. Klodnicki's Day 2 starts unpleasantly, but he's still got about 24,000.

Boeree in the Blinds

A blind-vs.-battle just now involving Liv Boeree. The flop come {4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, Boeree's opponent checked, she bet 700, and her opponent called. The turn was the {A-Clubs}. Again Boeree's opponent checked, she bet 1,300 this time, and again got the call.

The river brought the {Q-Spades} and another check from the small blind. Boeree bet 3,500, and her opponent folded. The 2010 EPT San Remo winner showed her {8-Spades}{2-Spades} as she dragged the pot.

Boeree has 19,500 now.

Sklansky Out

David Sklansky
David Sklansky

David Sklansky began the day with a below average stack, and within the first 20 minutes of play today has met a swift end.

Sklansky opened with a raise to 1,500, was met with a reraise from an opponent, reshoved all in for his remaining 10,000 or so, and was called. Sklansky showed {Q-}{Q-} and his opponent {A-}{K-}.

The flop came {A-}{A-}-X, and no queen came to save Sklansky.
