See You in 15 Minutes

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

The first break of the tournament just started. In 15 minutes the players will return for their third level, but for now they have time for a quick snack or trip to the bathroom.

Moorman Doubles Through Jewell

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Picking up the action after the river of a {6-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} board with about 14,000 in the middle, action is on Kurt Jewell in middle position. He is facing a Chris Moorman all-in bet of 7,525 from late position and after about two minutes in the tank, Jewell calls.

Moorman tables {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}, Jewell mucks, and Moorman doubles up to about 29,500.

Ivey Raises the Turn

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Faced with a bet of 2,100 on a board of {3-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}, Phil Ivey opted to raise to 6,025. His opponent tanked for quite some time, then finally opted to fold his hand.

Ivey raked in the pot, and sits with roughly the starting stack.

Negreanu in Dire Straits

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

We have it on good authority that Daniel Negreanu is down to just a 1,000 in chips. We heard about a big pot where the board read {8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades} | {4-Clubs} | {2-Spades} and Negreanu had to turn over {10-Hearts}{J-Hearts} from the button. His opponent, the player in the big blind, turned over {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. The exact action is unkown as of now, but Negreanu has only a 1,000 in chips left. We're keeping a close eye on his table to report on his comeback or demise.

Sands Doubles Thru Somerville, Who Busts Soon After

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

David "Doc" Sands opened to 275 from early position, Jesse Martin called on his direct left, and Jason Somerville three-bet to 1,100 out of the big blind. Only Sands called.

The flop fell {3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, Somerville led out for 1,600, and Sands made the call. The turn was the {4-Diamonds}, Somerville fired another bullet worth 3,300, and Sands moved all in for just a few thousand more. Somerville begrudgingly called.

Somerville: {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Sands: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Sands was well ahead with a set of tens, but Somerville could still make a straight with a nine. The {6-Spades} bricked on the river however, and Sands doubled.

Somerville was left with just 2,600, and busted soon after.

Moar!

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

This field is getting ridiculous by now as even more famous players show up. We have a bunch of High Rollers entering the field just now. Amongst them is the Russian player Artem Litvinov who has made a name for himself on the European Poker Tour the last couple of years. Litvinov likes poker and he likes High Rollers. Is $5,000 enough to keep him motivated today? Let's find out!
