Bullets For Hachem

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Andy Frankenberger opened to 2,100 and it folded around to Joe Hachem who three-bet to 4,700 from the button. Action came back around to Frankeberger and he called the raise.

The dealer fanned {J-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} on the felt and Frankenberger checked. Hachem continued for 2,700 and Frankenberger called. Both players checked the {10-Clubs} on the turn and did the same after the {5-Diamonds} fell on the river. The 2005 WSOP Main Event champion rolled over {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts} and it was enough to drag in the pot.

Lykov Ousts Frankenberger

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Just before the break we found Max Lykov and Andy Frankenberger engaged in a series of raises that ended with Frankenberger getting the last of his stack which looked to be about 29,000 all in. Frankenberger held {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} but was crushed by Lykov's {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}. A flop of all low cards came down and Frankeberger was eliminated from play.

Small One for Makhija

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Nick Schulman opened to 2,600 in the cutoff, Amit Makhija defended in the big blind, and the flop came {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Both players checked.

The turn was the {k-Diamonds}, Makhija check-called a 1,900-chip bet, and both players knuckled when the {9-Spades} completed the board. Makhija showed {k-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for a pair of kings, winning the pot.

Vitkind Flops Straight; Eliminates Kurtzman

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

We arrived at the table to find the aftermath of the action on the flop. The board read {7-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Eric Kurtzman was all in for his tournament life with {10-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for top pair against the flopped straight of Dmitry Vitkind with {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. The turn and river brought the {A-Spades} and the {K-Spades} respectively.

Vitkind scooped the pot and eliminated Kurtzman with his straight, but it was Mike Linster on the other side of the table who was visibly upset, folding {6-Spades}{5-Spades} on the flop after Vitkind's large raise. Linster would have made a spade flush and became one of the top stacks had he stayed in the hand. Fortunately for Vitkind, Linster was out and he was able to drag in a pot that leaves him flirting with 100,000 in chips.

Danchev On Fire

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Dimitar Danchev began the day as the chip leader and has continued to trend upward throughout the second day of play. Danchev recently eliminated Sam Stein in unknown action and a few hands later we arrived at the table to find Christophe Benzimra all in and at risk before the flop against Danchev. The two were racing for Benzimra's tournament life.

Benzimra: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Danchev: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

The board fell down {7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} and Danchev's nines were able to hold, sending Benzimra to the rail. Danchev now has about 160,000 in chips.

O'Donnell O'Doubles

O'Donnell held as the board came {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}, doubling to 70,000 chips. Danchev dropped back down to 131,000.
