Musumeci Moved Off

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Amanda Musumeci in Day 2 Action
Amanda Musumeci in Day 2 Action

Amanda Musumeci watched her opponent check after the flop fell {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, and with a pot of more than 15,000 waiting to be claimed, she fired out a bet of 7,100.

The player thought things over for a minute or so, before sliding out a stack for the call.

When the turn came {3-Spades}, he took a new line in the hand, leading out for a wager of 12,200, and it was Musumeci's turn to study the situation. Eventually, she elected to come along, and the dealer dropped the {j-Spades} on the river.

The player then moved a tower of yellow T1000 tournament chips in front of his card for a bet of 25,000, and Musumeci became a believer, knuckling the table in acknowledgment while mucking her hand.

All Aboard the Salsberg Express to Binksville

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Matt Salsberg
Matt Salsberg

At a table nearby our reporting desk, Matt Salsberg had jumped up and fist pumped. Apparently, before the flop he had gotten two players all in and was way ahead. Salsberg was holding {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} against Tyler Patterson who was holding {A-}{Q-} and another player who was holding {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

The flop came down {6-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts} bringing Salsberg a set and nearly locking up the hand for him right there. The turn was the {8-Hearts} giving the player with tens a few outs, but leaving Patterson drawing dead. The river was the {A-Diamonds} though just to put some salt in Patterson's wound.

Salsberg had both players covered and with that he scooped a giant pot that pushed him close to the chip lead.

"You were supposed to fold the best hand!" Patterson joked with Salsberg after the hand.

"Wow," was heard from multiple players at the table as Salsberg scooped up the giant pot.

Round 1 Goes To Skommo

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Orjan Skommo
Orjan Skommo

Action folded to Orjan Skommo who opened to 6,000 from middle position. Action folded around to Warwick Mirzikinian in the small blind who popped it up to 15,500 to play. Action folded back to Skommo who made the call.

The flop came down {8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Mirzikinian led out with a bet to 17,000. Skommo just flat called.

On the {8-Clubs} turn, Mirzikinian slowed down and checked. Skommo wouldn't check back though, instead, he put out a bet of 22,500 that Mirzikinian called.

The river came the {4-Clubs} and Mirzikinian found his bet button again because he led for 35,000. Skommo quickly called. Mirzikinian tabled {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} for ace high, but Skommo had him crushed with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. With that, Skommo took down the first battle between the two played, and healthily increased his chip stack.

Jacob Bazeley (Seen Here at the Final Table Stage) is Looking to Return to the Mothership

With the board reading {2-Spades}{k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts}{a-Clubs} by the river, Jacob Bazeley slid a stack forward for a bet of just over 22,000.

His opponent sized up the wager for a moment, before sliding two stacks into the middle and declaring himself all in.

Bazeley shot a look across the table, and after a brief moment to realize he was in the dream spot, Bazeley made the call with his {K-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} for a full house on the turn. His opponent could not produce a superior holding, and with that he was eliminated in abrupt fashion.

Bazeley, meanwhile, moved above the 180,000 plateau with the win, and after reaching the final table of Event #6 ($2,500 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Handed), Bazeley has put himself in position for another trip to the Mothership.

The Katz In the Bag

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Philippe Ktorza
Philippe Ktorza

Action began on Phillippe Ktorza who who opened to 7,000 from early middle position. Michael Katz called on the button along with the player in the big blind.

The flop came down {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and the big blind checked to Ktorza who put out a bet of 11,500. Katz asked for a count, then tossed chips in for the call. The big blind player folded.

The turn came the {9-Spades} and Ktorza moved all in. Katz snap called and turned up {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for quads. Ktorza tried to muck his hand. He placed it face down in front of him and went to receive his payout ticket as Katz could not be beaten. The dealer put out the {J-Hearts} on the river for customary purposes but it didn't matter as Katz already had a lock on the hand.

After pestering from some players at the table, mostly Warwick Mirzikinian, the dealer turned up Ktorza's hand to reveal {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a flush draw. Mirzikinian claimed that he wanted to play that hand next time it was dealt to him.

Either way, Ktorza is out and Katz is rolling in his chips.

Barry Hutter Benefits From Basil's Blow Up

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Barry Hutter is Trying to Reclaim the Chip Lead He Held After Day 1
Barry Hutter is Trying to Reclaim the Chip Lead He Held After Day 1

We saw Ira Basil stand to make his exit from the tournament floor, while his entire stack was shipped across the table to Day 1 chip leader Barry Hutter.

The affable Canadian was kind enough to fill us in on the details of his bustout hand, one which had the table gasping when it was all said and done.

Apparently, Basil limped into the pot and watched as Hutter raised it up. Basil elected to make a three-bet and put the pressure back on Hutter, and Hutter simply moved all in to force Basil to the ultimate test.

When Basil snap-called, Hutter was sure his {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} was trailing a premium hand, but surprisingly Basil tabled the {K-Spades}{6-Spades}.

Although the board ran out {j-}{7-}{5-}{6-} by the turn, giving Hutter a bit of a sweat, the river came clean and Basiil was eliminated in stunning fashion.

"I'm just shocked..." Hutter answered, after the dealer asked him to verify his count. "I don't know why he did that, I haven't gotten out of line all day."

Warwick Mirzikinian Eliminated Just Before Break

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Warwick Mirzikinian
Warwick Mirzikinian

We didn't catch all the action but Michael Katz was kind enough to inform us how Warwick Mirzikinian was eliminated just before break. Apparently Mirzikinian got it all in against another play on a flop of {K-}{K-}{2-} with {A-}{K-} against the other players {2-}{2-}. The board bricked out and the other player had a covering stack on Mirzikinian, eliminating him from the tournament.

The other player's name is Matthias Bednarek. After that massive hand, he has advanced to the top of the chip counts, while Mirzikinian was just left with a payout slip.

Musumeci Makes Her Exit

Amanda Musumeci
Amanda Musumeci

We didn't see Amanda Musumeci's bustout hand, but her seat is now empty and all her chips are gone. One player at the table was kind enough to inform us what happened to her.

Apparently, Musumeci moved all in with {A-}{10-} and was called by another player at the table who had {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}. The board ran out but gave no improvement to Musumeci and with that, she was eliminated from the tournament. The player said that Musumeci was sitting around 145,000 to start the hand, and now she has none.

Hutter With The Ace-High Call

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Barry Hutter
Barry Hutter

Action began with a raise from Matt Weber. He made it 12,000 and got three callers.

All four players checked all the way down until the board read {7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. From there, the player in the big blind made a bet of 39,000. Weber folded. Barry Hutter next to act made the call.

There was one player left to act on the button. "I think I might have you both beat," he said before folding his hand.

The player in the big blind mucked, but Rutter was forced to show his {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} to take down the pot.

"I think you might've been good," Matt Salsberg prodded to the player on the button.

With that, Hutter is now well over 600,000 chips.

Hutter and Weber Lock Horns; Hutter Over A Milli'

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Barry Hutter
Barry Hutter

We missed the preflop action but according to another player at the table, Matt Weber opened with a raise and he was called by Barry Hutter. After a check call from Weber on the flop of {Q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{Q-Clubs} we caught up to the action.

The turn came down the {A-Diamonds} and Weber checked again. Hutter reached for a stack of chips and put out a bet of 94,000. Weber thought about it briefly then called.

The river dropped the {7-Spades} and Weber checked again. Hutter grabbed two giant stacks of chips and put out a bet of 172,000.

"Wow," Weber said. After about 15 seconds he threw in the call, but he wasn't pleased to see Hutter's {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for a flopped full house.

"Nice hand," Weber said mucking his cards. "Run better."

With that, a giant pot was shipped over to Barry Hutter which has put him over the 1,000,000 chip mark.
