In the Frey

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

A player in early position open-raised for 7,000 and ran into an all-in raise for 32,000. Hunter Frey re-raised all-in for over 300,000 and the original raiser folded.

Frey: {A-}{K-}
Opponent: {A-}{7-}

Frey had a small sweat when the flop came a {3-}{4-}{6-} for a potential gut-shot, but the turn and river bricked, shipping Frey the pot. Frey is now up to 355,000.

Koral Slides

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Tom Koral has just doubled an opponent up to now sit with just under 30,000 in chips.

All the money went in preflop with Koral's {A-Spades}{9-Clubs} trailing his opponent's {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}.

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} to see Koral ship a large portion of his stack over to his opponent to slip to 28,000 in chips.

Mizrachi Moving Up

Eric Mizrachi Making Most of His All-In Encounters
Eric Mizrachi Making Most of His All-In Encounters

Eric Mizrachi has been nursing a short stack throughout the latter stages of Day 2, but after his latest double up he can breathe a little easier. After a player in middle position raised before the flop, Mizrachi pushed all-in for 32,000 more and was called by the initial bettor, who tabled the {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

The {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} held by Mizrachi needed help to improve and that help arrived in the form of a {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop. A {J-Hearts} on the turn provided his opponent four additional outs in the form of a gutshot straight draw, but a {6-Hearts} on the river was a blank and Mizrachi had doubled up. He now sits with just under 72,000 chips.

Cohen Calls Clock... On Herself

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

After her opponent shoved all-in over her raise, Samantha Cohen went into the tank and thought things over. Eventually, she asked the dealer to call the clock on herself and after a few seconds of counting she folded her {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

Her opponent seemed surprised by this move and decided to needle Cohen a bit, showing his {6-Hearts}{7-Hearts} while collecting the pot. Cohen responded to this jab by stating "it's fine, I still have more than twice as many chips as you" while making sure that PokerNews.com knew what had just gone down.

Lights Out on Layne Flack Show

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

From under the gun Min Ku opened to 15,000 and was met with a Layne Flack shove for virtually the same amount.

Ku: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Flack: {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Unfortunately it was closing time for the Layne Flack show as the board was spread {K-Hearts}{7-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{A-Clubs}, but with Flack headed to the rail he did offer one last piece of wisdom, "Boys, you've all see the best poker of your life!"

The board read {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{Q-Spades} and it was Koral's opponent's {A-Hearts}{8-Clubs} that was being pushed the pot.

Young Gets Value from Second Pair

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Entering the pot with a raise to 8,500 from early position, Jordan Young found a caller in the big blind to see a {A-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop.

Both players checked as the {Q-Hearts} landed on the turn and both players again tapped the table as the {10-Clubs} completed the board on the river.

Young paused for a moment before betting 25,000, and with his opponent only having 12,500 behind, he called it off.

Young tabled his {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and his opponent mucked as Jymaster11 climbed to 290,000 in chips.
