Ride the Rausch

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

"Oh, you got me," said John Rausch, standing as he tabled the {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. "I was just trying to make a play, nice hand..."

Rausch had moved all in over the top of a bet on the {j-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop, risking his last 18,225, and his opponent snapped off the bluff with {j-Spades}{10-Spades} for bottom two pair.

"Nice hand," offered Rausch once more, as the dealer burned and turned. "I need an eight dealer."

The turn card brought no eights to the table, as the {Q-Hearts} arrived instead, and when the {9-Spades} fell on the river Rausch's opponent exhaled in relief.

"Scared me for a minute there, looked like an eight," the player said, not comprehending that a nine on the river spelled doom nonetheless.

"Straight!," exclaimed Rausch, realizing after a beat that the river had saved him from a short Main Event appearance. "I have a straight!"

His opponent curtailed his premature celebration, peering across the table at the board to get a better look at the carnage, before slumping down with his head in his hands.

"Sorry man, I had to do it, only had 5,000 left," said Rausch in consolation, suggesting that he had committed himself to the hand with his postflop betting line. With the win, Rausch regained his traction and moved back above the starting stack to begin the third level of play.

Second Break of the Day: From the Chip Lead to Out, Moneymaker & More

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Main Event Day 01B players in the Pavilion Room

What a difference a level can make. The difference between Level 1 and Level 2 for Terry Fleischer, who had eliminated Mehrdad Danialifar 22 minutes into play, was clearly night and day as he lost all those chips and then some to poker pro Micah Raskin. By the end of the level, the man who jumped out to an early chip lead was eliminated from the tournament.

It was also at the start of Level 2 that we spotted Dan Harrington, who won the 1995 WSOP Main Event and made back-to-back final tables in the 2003 and 2004 WSOP Main Events, in the field. Harrington, who gained quite a bit of notoriety through his acclaimed Harrington on Hold'em series, became one of five past Main Event champs in today's field alongside Doyle Brunson (1976 & 1977), Scotty Nguyen (1998), Chris Moneymaker (2003) and Greg Raymer (2004).

Speaking of Moneymaker, it's been ten years since his historic win. Despite his other successes, which includes winning his Invitational Rematch against Sammy Farha at the 2011 WSOP, Moneymaker is still looking for his second Main Event cash. A ten-year anniversary sounds like a pretty good time to do it. For more on Moneymaker and his thoughts on the Main Event a decade later, check out the interview he did with PokerNews just prior to the 2013 WSOP.

We'll be back in 20 minutes for another level of action.

Bartlett Calls Lodden's Bluff

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Steve Bartlett (earlier in the series)

Steve Bartlett watched as the action folded around to him on the button, before opening to 400. He was called by the player in small blind, as well as Johnny Lodden on the big blind, before the three players saw the flop come {7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. With the blinds checking their options, Bartlett threw out a continuation bet of 700, and was called twice. The {a-Diamonds} fell on the turn, as everyone slowed down, checking their options, before the {7-Diamonds} came on the river, completing the board.

The small blind checked, before Lodden bet out 1,500, which was only called by Bartlett. Lodden tabled his {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a bluff, as Bartlett turned over his {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for a pair, winning the hand.

Gates Facing Tough Opponents

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

We arrived at the table, just as the big blind checked his option on a {2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop. Garry Gates was in the hijack, and bet out 750, which was quickly called by the player on the button, as the other player got out of the way.

“You didn’t bring your fold button with you today, did you?” asked Gates, as he checked his option. His opponent smiled before betting out 1,600, which was enough to take down the pot.

Burt vs. Obrestad

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

We saw Tim Burt sitting with a healthy stack of 60,000 over in the Pavilion Room and when asked how he got them he said, "They just keep trying to bluff me."

He then told us about a hand against 2007 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event champ Annette Obrestad. According to him, Obrestad opened for 400 from the cutoff and he called from the big blind with {a-}{3-}. The {a-}{8-}{9-} flop saw Burt check-call a bet of 950 and then he check-called a bet of 1,800 on the {6-Clubs} turn. When the {4-Diamonds} completed the board on the river, Burt checked for a third time and then tank-called when Obrestad bet 5,600. Obrestad showed {j-}{10-} for a missed straight and Burt won the pot.

Garrett Getting Active

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Brad Garrett
Brad Garrett

With the board showing {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, the player seated under the gun plus one bet out 600, and was called by Everybody Loves Raymond star, Brad Garrett, from the cut-off. Both players then checked their options as the {8-Diamonds} fell on the turn, before a bet of 625 on a {q-Hearts} river, was quickly called by Barrett.

Garrett showed his {a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, for a pair of fours, but his opponent would win the hand, after tabling his {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a better pair.
