Young Soars with Trips

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Instead of the usual poker curse that poker bloggers give players, it seems I have had the opposite effect on Jordan Young.

With Bryn Kenney and a second player heading to the rail, we spoke to Young about the hand in which he eliminated both players.

Kenney opened to 3,000, and one player was all in for 1,000. Young made the call holding {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, and two other players joined them to see a {Q-}{9-}{5-} flop. Kenney continued for 5,500 with only Young making the call as the {9-Spades} landed on the turn.

Kenney checked, and Young pushed out a bet of 13,500, which Kenney called as the {k-Clubs} landed on the river. Kenney checked, and Young moved all in. Kenney made the call, flashing his {K-}{Q-} before making his way to the rail since his top two pair couldn't beat Young's three nines.

As Young was pushed the pot, he moved to roughly 168,000 in chips.

David Rood Distancing Himself from Field

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

During our latest lap around the tournament area, we witnessed David Rood capture three consecutive pots, winning each hand while still trying to stack his chips. His impressive castle now appears to hold just under 200,000 chips, making Rood our leader by a wide margin.

Defending Champ Duhamel Drags More Chips His Way

Jonathan Duhamel a force on Day 2
Jonathan Duhamel a force on Day 2

From what we can tell, Jonathan Duhamel appears to be following his 2010 run to the Main Event championship with a strong showing so far in this year's WSOP. The soft spoken Canadian has built a chip stack of nearly 80,000 and appears to be poised for a real run at his second World Series of Poker bracelet.

Young Clipped But Still Pushing 100k

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The transition from a successful online player to a live one is tough for nearly everyone, but in the case of Jordan Young, he is doing his best to make the best of Black Friday.

Facing a raise to 3,000 from middle position, Young three-bet to 6,700 from the cutoff. Once the action returned to the original raiser, he pushed out a four-bet of 12,700 to force Young's cards into the muck.

Although that small dint sees him slip to 89,000, Young has the skills and the confidence to make a run at a potentially Event #8 final table following same day wins late last year in both the Full Tilt Poker Sunday Brawl and $750,000 Guarantee.

Eames Drops a Bit

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

It was folded around to the button who raised to 2,400 and was called by John Eames in the big blind. Eames led out for 3,500 on the {4-Spades}{6-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop and was called. The action was the same on the {10-Clubs} turn except for 7,500 this time. On the {8-Spades} river, Eames checked and his opponent bet 15,500. Eames snap folded and was down to 100,000 after the hand.

Filtz Fleecing Competition to Take Tournament Lead

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Our chip leader on this Day 2 is Justin Filtz, who we found padding his stack after winning yet another pot. After raising to 3,900 from under-the-gun, Filtz and Steven van Zadelhoff saw a flop of {9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}.

Filtz checked the flop and van Zadelhoff fired a bet of 3,600 into the middle, only to see the chip leader check-raise to 10,600. This was enough to take the pot down and Filtz continues to abuse and bully his opponents into submission.

Charles Chucks it

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

On a board reading {A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, a player in middle position checked to his lone opponent, Charles "Woody" Moore, who quickly fired out a 3,000 bet. Almost as quickly, his opponent check-raised to 8,000. Moore shrugged a bit and mucked his hand. Moore's stack is hovering around the 40,000 mark.
