Tiwari Slips

Amar Tiwari has just doubled a short-stack when his {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} were no match for the {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades} of his opponent.

The board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts} to see Tiwari take a small hit as he remains with over 125,000 in chips.

Maya Geller Makes Straight, Cruz Fills Up

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante
Maya Geller
Maya Geller

We caught up with the action as the board read {5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{A-Hearts} and Maya Geller, wife of poker pro Patrik Antonius, found herself all in against Valerie Cross.

Geller tabled the {3-Spades}{3-Hearts} and her wheel straight was ahead of the two pair held by Cross, who showed down {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. Cross needed to spike a four-outer to come from behind and eliminate Geller.

River: {A-Clubs}

The dealer flipped over a dagger for Geller and she hit the rail while Cross stacked Geller's chips.

Tiwari Swimming in Chips

A quick stroll over to table 362 saw Amar Tiwari holding a ton of chips - and when we say a ton we mean it - as he has 24 stacks of black 100-denomination chips which amount to 48,000.

Once you factor in the 500 and 1000-denomination chips, plus the two empty seats, one can only assume he is the one that dispatched of those players. As he now sits with over 140,000, he is our clear chip leader.

Mizrachi Jack'd Up

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

From the cutoff, Eric Mizrachi opened to 2,000 only to have the small blind move all in for roughly 10,000. Mizrachi made the call with little hesitation.

Mizrachi: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Opponent: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The board rolled out {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds} to see Mizrachi collect the pot to move to 35,000 while sending his opponent tumbling to the rail.

Neilson Flushed with Chips

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Catching the action with roughly 10,000 in the pot and the board reading {7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} we found Daniel Neilson moving all in having his opponent covered.

His opponent instantly made the call and tabled his {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, but it would be Neilson's {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs} that would see him collect the pot and move to roughly 48,000 in chips.

Do We Have Another Ante-Gate on our Hands?

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

With antes in effect, it’s imperative that both the dealer and the players are aware of who does and who doesn’t put in their antes. On the first hand back from break, Darryll Fish and Gary Goad were both pretty sure that they had put their antes in, but there was one missing. The floor was called over and Fish said that although he was pretty sure he had put in his ante, Goad seemed more certain. Thankfully, Fish said it was no big deal and tossed in the one black chip to avoid any confrontation.

The hand found Mahir Cenghil all in preflop and at risk against Charles Moore. Moore had Cenghil dominated with {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} against {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and the board ran out {K-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} to eliminate Cenghil. Moore was up to 63,000 after the hand.

We missed the early action, but Annette Obrestad found herself all in with her {9-}{7-} trailing the {Q-}{8-} held by Sergey Petrov.

The board read {A-}{8-}{8-}{2-}{Q-} and Obrestad, the youngest player to ever win a WSOP bracelet event in either Las Vegas or Europe, found herself eliminated quickly in Day 2.
