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.

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.

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!
