Timothy Adams Off to a Good Start

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

From the cutoff position Timothy Adams raised it up to 2,500. The player on the button folded but Daniel Cascado, starting the hand with 60,400 in the small blind, bumped it up to 5,900. The big blind threw his hand straight in the muck but Adams had other plans. Carefully he cut out 10,800 and put that in the middle. This four bet was called by Cascado who checked to Adams on {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. Adams checked behind and the {K-Clubs} popped up on the turn. Cascado checked again, but now folded as Adams bet 8,600.

Phahurat Doubles a Shorty

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

AP Phahurat hadn't even finished stacking up his chips before he was already involved in an all-in pot. We aren't sure what the betting action was, but we saw that Phahurat was in great shape holding {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} against the {k-Hearts}{2-Spades} of James Gilbert. However, the advantage swapped when the flop came {2-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. Phahurat was now looking for a queen to win the hand, but the board completed {3-Clubs} and {2-Hearts}, giving Gilbert unnecessary trips.

After that hand, Gilbert is up over 20,000, while Phahurat is now a short stack with 15,000.

At 1 p.m. day two of the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em tournament will be starting. Yesterday we played down till the money and after a pretty long bubble period they bagged and tagged their chips. All 198 players who survived the first day will return and take home at minimum $2,640 today.

Ashton Holmes is in the lead with 126,300 in chips. Non other than Paul Wasicka, runner-up in the World Series of Poker Main Event in 2006 behind Jamie Gold, is second in chips with 126,100. EPT Grand Final winner Mohsin Charania is the number four in chips with 122,800.

There are plenty of other familiar faces still left in the field and all of them will be battling it out today for a seat at the final table. We'll be playing 10 levels today, starting with level 12 (600/1,200 with a 200 ante).

Take a look at the June 14th Update Lynn Gilmartin before we start this second day of tournament play:
