Pokerstars Pros Can be Down, But They are Never Out

After being one of the first tables to get heads up Victor Ramdin took his time before he ultimately claimed victory. Ramdin started heads up with a 3-1 chip lead, but slowly that lead vanished. After about an hour he found himself with barely 3,000 chips in front of him. After winning a crucial double up Ramdin was able to get back on track and able to come out ahead at his table.

Not to be outdone, Eugene Katchalov also won his table. He as well got as low as 3,000 chips, but found a way to persevere. Both Pokerstars Pros will be returning tomorrow to seek further glory and a bracelet.

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

We are down to 15 tables here on Day 1 of the $1,500 Limit Hold’em Shootout and all of them are heads-up. It shouldn't be too long before we call it a day and have our Day 2 all set.

Lubarsky Primed For Second WSOP Cash

Hal Lubarsky raised it up on the button, his opponent in the big blind re-raised, and Lubarsky called.

The flop came down {q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{j-Clubs}, the big blind bet and Lubarsky called.

The turn was {6-Spades} and the big blind checked, Lubarsky bet, and the big blind folded.

Lubarsky has 39,000 of the 41,500 on the table and is looking good for his second WSOP cash and will likely become the only blind person with multiple WSOP cashes.
