Arieh Advances

Josh Arieh is stood behind his chair and looking very satisfied. That's because he has taken all of Marcello Marigliano's chips and advances to the next round.

Yockey Eliminates Froehlich, Koon Advances

We caught Eric Froehlich cashing in his last lammer after Bryce Yockey's pocket kings cleaned Froehlich's stack. The next hand Froehlich opened for 2,400, Yockey raised to 6,700 and Froehlich went all in. Yockey called and the hands were tabled.

Froehlich: {A-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}
Yockey: {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}

The board ran {9-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {2-Spades} and Yockey shook Froehlich's hand.

One table over we saw Jason Koon eliminating Adam Kornuth.

Must Be Nice For Obrestad

Annette Obrestad yesterday
Annette Obrestad yesterday

Annette Obrestad is the latest player through after dismantling Ryan Franklin over the course of two hands.

Firstly she four-bet all-in with {7-}{8-} and beat Franklin's {a-}{k-}. She still had two lammers behind so told us she was risking the minimum with the move.

That left Franklin short and he shoved {k-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} from the button and was called by the Norwegian who had woken up with {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}. The board ran out {6-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

Dealer Change on 413

Level 2 : 400/800, 0 ante

Andy Frankenberger and Alan Keating have traded in their old dealer for a new one.

The old one still had life in her, but the PLO option wasn't working too well. She had trouble calculating the pot and was replaced after a few complaints from Frankenberger.

Lil' or No Chips for Nicholson

Vojtech Ruzicka has become the first player to advance after he eliminated Dave Nicholson in a battle of Europe.

Ruzicka will Czech back in a 4pm for today's second round of matches.

Table 426

Level 2 : 400/800, 0 ante

There's a lot a action happening over on table 426.

Jim Collopy and Victor Ramdin are having a three-bet fest pre flop. Twice in a row Collopy raised to 1,000 in NL and twice faced a three-bet to 2,500. He folded the first time but shoved the second time to take down the pot. I don't think their match will be lasting very long.

Raja Kattamuri and David Benefield are sat at the other end of the table and the former was forced to trade in his third lammer (T24k).

The two saw a {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop in NL before all the chips flew into the middle.

Benefield: {8-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for trip threes.
Kattamuri: {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a flush draw.

The board ran out a blank {9-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

Raja Kattamuri has since dropped even further to 20,000 chips.
