Day 2 of the shootout looks a lot like this.
Faraz Jaka was eliminated moments before the break.
On a flop, Jaka got all his money in the middle against Brent Hanks. Jaka's had out-flopped Brent's , and he was still well after the on the turn. But the on the river gave Hanks a better two pair and shipped Jaka to the payout desk. Hanks is up to 190,000.
Time for the first 20-minute break of the day.
Danny Estes has been very active here on Day 2, and he just doubled up Joshua Tieman after he flopped a flush.
The board read when Tieman led for 15,200. Estes moved him all-in and Tieman instantly called.
Tieman:
Estes:
Estses couldn't find a diamond on either the turn () or the river () and Tieman doubled to 210,000 chips.
The hand hurt Estes, but he did win a big pot the next hand and got back up to 110,000 chips.
Dario Minieri is a piu fortunato to still be in Event #6.
That's english for a little fortunate.
Minieri was faced with a 27,000-chip bet from Blair Hinkle with the board reading , and re-raised all-in. Hinkle snapped it off with and Minieri opened , needing a diamond.
Yup, you guessed it: .
Minieri doubled to 260,000 chips and Hinkle slipped to 122,000 chips.
Brent Wheeler opened to 6,900 from middle position, and a short-stacked Tommy Vedes moved all in from the cutoff. Wheeler was even shorter and called all in for his last 41,600. Bad timing for Vedes' steal attempt. His didn't look so good against Wheeler's . The board ran out , and Wheeler doubled up. Tommy was left with just 1,100.
After paying the ante next hand, Vedes threw his last 800 chips in the middle. Cary Katz limped for the 2,400 big blind on the button, and Chino Rheem raised it to 21,200 from the small blind. Keven Stammen repopped it to 55,000 from the big blind. Stamdogg's strong iso move was enough to scare off Katz and Rheem, guaranteeing him a sweet side pot. He actually wanted a call though, showing . Vedes' was going to need a lot of help, and the wasn't even close. Tommy usually abuses his opponents in six-handed situations. He won the Festa al Lago WPT last year after crushing the six-player final table, and a month ago, Vedes took down the €5,000 Six-Max side event at the EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo, but it just wasn't to be for him today.
William Molson opened to 5,500 on the button and Aaron Gustavson moved all-in for 26,800 from the small blind. The big blind released, and Molson called.
Molson:
Gustavson:
The board ran and Gustavson doubled to 55,000 chips and Molson slipped to 205,000 chips.
Everybody loves a good hero call.
The board read when William Molson bet 9,500. Danny Estes min-raised to 19,000, and Molson re-raised to 41,500. Estes asked for a count of Molson's stack (about 93,100 more) before calling.
The two checked the on the turn and Molson checked the on the river. Estes bet 40,000 and Molson made the call.
Estes immediately mucked his cards, and Molson rolled over for just ace-high.
Molson now sits with 240,000 chips.
