Bracelet winner Robert Cheung was kind enough to let us know that he had been eliminated just before the previous break.
Apparently, after losing 100,000 in an earlier confrontation, Cheung ran his 
into an opponent's 
. His underpair failed to catch up, and Cheung will have to wait another day to win that elusive second WSOP bracelet.

Alex Kunichoff raised to 22000, and then Kimberley Kilroy re-raised enough to put Kunichoff all in. Everyone else folded, and action was back on Kunichoff. He thought for a minute, and decided to fold. He left himself with 74,000, while Kilroy is up to 320,000.
As Kilroy was stacking her chips, Mark Kroon looked at her and said half-jokingly, "Nice bet, bully." Kilroy simply smiled and feigned innocence.

Aussie Michel Bouskila is playing in the Amazon Room, with the banner celebrating his countryman Joe Hachem's 2005 Main Event title, and he just had a decent cup of sugar passed his way.
We caught the action with the flop reading 
, as Bouskila and another player were exposing their hole cards after getting it all in. The man from Down Under held 
for a flopped set, which put him way ahead of the 
held by his opponent.
The turn (
) and river (
) changed nothing, and Bouskila doubled his 207,000 through to put himself well above the current average nearing the end of this second day of play.

Chuck Goldstein wanted to be interviewed and he was jokingly told he needed to quadruple up. Well, he more than accomplished that goal.
He sat down at his new table with 50,000 in chips. In his first big blind someone moved all in and he woke up with . He called the all in and there is the first double. In his second big blind, someone moved all in and he woke up with 
. He called the all in and there is the second double. In his third blind, someone moved all in and he again woke up with . He called the all in and there is the third double.
The three big blind hands happened in consecutive orbits to take Goldstein from his original 50,000 to 450,000 and all he had to do was call. Goldstein, just like several other players in this field, has a poker playing son, Alan. Goldstein said, "He is just one of those internet kids. It's nice that I am doing something for once."

As Day 2 of the Seniors Championship draws to a conclusion, the remaining 42 players can now finally see the others standing between them and a WSOP bracelet. They say familiarity breeds contempt, and that just might be true, because the calls of "Payout, Table..." are now echoing through the Amazon Room seemingly every few minutes.
The latest two bustouts came courtesy of Makram Merhom and Ray Spencer, with each using a pocket pair to dispatch a fellow senior.
First, Spencer got it all in against an opponent's 
holding the 
, and the board ran out 
left the nines out in front.
On the next table over, Merhom called an opponent's all in move with the , and the other player's 
failed to find a set or a straight on the 
board.
Both Spencer and Merhom moved into a comfortable chip position, and they will be looking to knock even more players out as an appearance at the final table inches ever closer.
