We caught up with Joseph Felder right as he was raising from middle position. Action folded around to Dmitry Gromov who reraised him making it 4,000 total, Felder obliged and they were off to see a flop.
On a flop both players cautiously checked. A turn was flipped and Felder put out a bet of 8,500, he was quickly called.
A river brought with it a bet from Felder putting Gromov all in. After some silent contemplation Gromov called and to his horror was shown for a full house. Gromov couldn't counter and was subsequently eliminated.
With the board reading , we watched as a player slowly slid five stacks of 500 denomination chips into the pot for a bet of 49,000. The player, who offered "Frank, no last name" when asked for his identity, stared intently at his opponent in the cutoff position and waited for the next move.
Frank's opponent could not muster the cards or the courage to make the call and Frank dragged a huge pot in his direction.
We caught the action with the flop reading and Scott Sitron playing a three-way pot against players in the small blind and hijack positions. Sitron was holding the button and after two checks to him, he tapped the table as well.
Turn:
The small blind checked again and this time the hijack bet the pot, putting 12,400 more into the middle. Sitron made the call and the small blind mucked, bringing the to the table on the river.
The player in the hijack opted to check and Sitron pounced on this show of weakness, instantly announcing that he was all-in. The hijack appeared to be disgusted with the move and shook his head as he mucked his cards. Sitron collected a large pot and built his stack to 55,000 in the process.
When we last checked we saw Heather Sue Mercer all in with two callers on a board of . The two other players seemingly didn't like the river as they both checked. Mercer was the only one to show and flipped over for a pair of kings. Neither of the other two players could produce anything better and Mercer tripled up.
Mercer is one of two women remaining in today's field.
We saw Gary Long standing up after pushing his last 12,000 chips into the pot from the cutoff position. Long was called by a player in the hijack and it was up to the dealer to decide this one.
Showdown
Long:
Opponent:
Long was slightly ahead with his pocket tens and suited connector, but as is always the case with Omaha the flop would settle things, and after it fell Long's nut straight gave him a commanding lead. The on the turn further solidified Long's holding, and after the fell on the river Long had scored a much needed double-up.
He now sits with a little over 20,000 and will need to keep making moves if he hopes to survive the minefield of Day 2.
On a flop of we saw Nick Binger call the all in of the player Under the Gun after a series of back and forth betting. Binger showed for a plethora of straight draws along with a flush draw to boot. His opponent held , all he had was a nut flush draw, but he still had the advantage going to the turn.
A on the turn and both players switched roles with Binger now in the lead. As the rattled off on the river Binger was awarded the pot with a pair of jacks.
We caught the action before the flop, as a player from under-the-gun and Eddie Oshana, sitting in middle position, both limped in for 1,200. David Chiu decided to put the pressure on and raised to 5,700, forcing the under-the-gun player to fold. Oshana wanted to see the flop, however, and made the call.
Flop:
Oshana checked it to Chiu, who forcefully announced "Pot!" while sliding a more than 10,000 into the middle. This was met by an instant declaration of "All-In" by Oshana and Chiu stood up from his chair while asking for a count. Oshana had Chiu covered and, pot-committed as he was, Chiu made the crying call with his for just a pair of aces.
Oshana tabled his for a flopped nut straight and Chiu knew he was in terrible shape. The on the turn offered a glimmer of hope and Chiu now needed another king or four to fall on the river to make a full house. After a useless on the river, the tournament veteran was dispatched early on in this Day 2.
We happened to be watching at Table 275 as Sumanth Reddy put out a massive check raise. His opponent shoved a bet of 20,000 into the middle on a board after Reddy checked.
When the action got back to Reddy he put out a massive raise making it 60,000 total, essentially putting his opponent all in.
Reddy's opponent took his time to figure out what it was he wanted to do, he took so long in fact that another player at the table called clock on him. It wasn't until the floor started counting doing "10.. 9.. 8.. 7.." that Reddy's opponent finally folded.
We found Dmitry Gromov raising preflop at Table 282. The hijack, the cutoff, the button, the small blind, and the big blind all made the call.
A flop of wasn't what anyone wanted as everyone checked. The turn was no different as all the players checked again. The graced the river and we again had a repeat of action with six people checking. Cards were turned and it was Gromov's that was declared the winner.
