Jon "PearlJammer" Turner's big stack is starting to whither away.
When we caught up with the action, the board read (X) and Turner's lone opponent checked to him from the hijack. The online phenom known as "PearlJammer" fired a 18,300 bet, sending his opponent into the tank.
Eventually, Turner's opponent made the call and revealed for a gutsy call on the ace-high baord as Turner mucked his hand, conceding the pot. His stack has slid to just over 100,000.
After her opponent pushed all-in for his last 9,000 chips, Valerie Cross took a few seconds before announcing a call. Cross showed her and found herself racing against her opponent's .
Flop:
Cross paired her king and took the lead in the hand, while her opponent was left to call for a seven. The turn brought the and the other player picked up a gutshot straight draw, but the on the river was safe for Cross, forcing her opponent to the rail.
"How much you got there?" asked a player in the direction of Carter "ckingusc" King.
"I got 18,100, but also 1,200 in the big blind!" responded King.
Although not appearing in our original table draw, we are happy to report that King is still alive in the tournament, albeit a little on the short side as he sits with a little over 14 big blinds.
Layne Flack opened his button with a raise to 3,400 and both the blinds called as the dealer dropped a flop.
With the action checked to him, Flack pushed out a bet of 6,500 to force his opponents to quickly fold as Flack snatched the pot while moving to 120,000 in chips.
We came over to the table just as the pot was about to be shipped to Gavin Griffin. It appears as though he doubled up with on an board against an opponent’s . Griffin was up to 68,000 after the hand.
On a board reading , 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.
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 .
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.
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 flop and was called. The action was the same on the turn except for 7,500 this time. On the river, Eames checked and his opponent bet 15,500. Eames snap folded and was down to 100,000 after the hand.
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.
