Come at me bro!
Come at me bro!

Welcome back to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino and the 2011 World Series of Poker for Day 2 of Event #43: $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em.

Yesterday saw 2,857 players take to the felt to battle it out in one of the last donkament's of the series. These tournaments have flowed at an extremely fast pace throughout the series, and this event was no exception as nearly 2,500 players were sent to the rail as players jostled for position on the chip leaderboard.

With the chips being bagged for the night, it was Norway's Age Spets amassing the most with his bag containing 119,900 in chips. The only other players sitting in the six-figure club include Nicholas Grippo (110,900), Bret Hruby (110,600) and Greg Darby (105,100).

Females Maria Ho (39,600), Kathy Liebert (30,300) and Erica Schoenberg (20,800), along with bracelet winners Joe Cada, Gavin Griffin, David Baker, Thomas Keller and James Mackey all are still within a shot as we aim to play firstly down to the money-paying top 297 spots before making a run at the $675,117 first prize, coveted gold bracelet and title of champion.

The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be providing extensive live coverage from 2:30 p.m. PDT, so make sure to stay tuned to PokerNews.com for continuous live updates from the 2011 World Series of Poker and Day Two of Event #43: $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em.

[user80015]

Robert Bonneau opened to 4,800 only to have Alex Prendes move all in. One-time chip leader Nicholas Grippo iso-shoved as Bonneau made the call.

Bonneau: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Prendes: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Grippo: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

The board ran out {2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} to see Prendes bust, Bonneau near-triple to 67,000 as Grippo slipped to 81,000 in chips.

Ducks No Good

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Bret Hruby saw a flop of {7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} with his opponent and the action checked around. The {Q-Clubs} fell on the turn and Hruby's opponent bet out 2,500. Hruby made the call and the two saw the {K-Clubs} hit the river. This time his opponent shot out 4,500 and Hruby called once again.

"Just little ducks", his opponent said, tabling {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}

Hruby flipped up {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a better pair. He's now sitting with around 120,000.
