Joe Kushner is back among the leaders.
Joe Kushner is back among the leaders.

Joe Kushner, who won a massive five-way all in yesterday, just doubled through Matthew Kirk, and is back among the chip leaders.

There was around 30,000 in the pot when we reached Table 447, and the flop had already fallen {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Kushern and Kirk got into a raising war, and Kushner was eventually all in for 250,500.

Kushner: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Kirk: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}

Neither the turn ({q-Diamonds}) for the river ({6-Spades}) were clubs, and Kushner doubled to more than 500,000 chips.

Stout: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Kirk: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The board ran out {8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}, and Stout was eliminated.

Sage Leads Into Day 2; 88 Remain

Benjamin Sage
Benjamin Sage

Welcome back to Event 39: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha. Today is Day 2 and it's going to be another great one of high-stakes PLO action. Leading the returning 88 players is Benjamin Sage with 358,400 in chips. He's trailed closely by Joe Kushner with 353,500 before a gap of more than 100,000 comes and then Jan-Peter Jachtmann sits in third.

Others still remaining are Andrew Brown (202,100), Jason Mercier (187,100), Daniel Alaei (127,000), Ted Lawson (90,000) and 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Joe Cada (50,600).

Just over 50 players will head home empty-handed today as the top 36 pay out, which means at some point the bubble will burst. You won't want to miss that or any of the action today, so be sure to stay tuned for when the cards get in the air at 1:00 PM Vegas time.
