Failla Falling
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Will Failla's stack is falling fast thanks to some very bad luck.
We caught him firing 13,000 into a 40,000-plus pot on the river with the board reading 
heads-up against Ming Li.
Li responded by shipping it in for 29,800 total and Failla made the immediate call with 
. Unfortunately for him, Li had turned 
into trip eights.
"That was a three-bet pot," said Failla. "Make sure you put that in the blog."

Big Stack Levelling Wars
Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Tables are breaking as players bust out and as fate would have it two of the bigger stacks in the room are now sat next to each other. Chip leader Steven Hensley has been moved to the left of Christopher MacNeil and they haven’t wasted much time getting involved with each other.
We joined the action as the two players had got to the turn of a board reading 
. MacNeil was in the big blind and led out for 14,000. Hensley in first position raised him to 30,000 and after a minutes thought MacNeil raised him right back to 80,000.
Hensley mulled it over for a while. Looked back at his cards one more time and tossed them to the dealer.
Another player at the table said that he had folded 
adding, “Someone’s up to something.”
They certainly are. Round 1 to MacNeil.

Mittelman Makes Aces
Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Niel Mittelman just jumped up the leaderboard in a huge way.
He snap-called when Alen Bilic cold four-bet shoved in front of him, and Mittelman felted 
. Bilic held 
and after the 
board ran out, Bilic was off to the payout cage.
Mittelman is now among the chip leaders.

Tough Table for Immekus?
Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Nicholas Immekus started the day second in chips and we caught up with him as he was bagging up that stack at the end of play yesterday to find out how he did. He told us that he hadn’t been involved in any huge pots but had steadily chipped up throughout the day it. “People were folding when I wanted them to, calling when I wanted them to.”
Immekus had been moved around a lot of tables throughout the day and said he had generally found it a pretty easy day. This is the fourth event he has played so far at the series — all the no-limit hold 'em tournaments — but this is the first one he has cashed. Immekus plays on PokerStars and Full Tilt under the screen name “Frenzuh.”
In one of the first hands of the day Eric Rappaport opened for 2,500 from the small blind and Immekus defended his big blind. They saw a flop of 
. Rappaport continued for 2,500 again and Immekus peeled the chips off for a call. The turn card 
saw a bet of 6,500 from Rappaport and Immekus gave it up. It could be a tougher table today for him.
They Call Him Mr. Ed
Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Eddy Sabat has started the day quite aggressively.
First he stepped all over a 2,600-chip open from David Peters with a 7,600-chip three-bet to pick up a pot. Then after making it 2,700 from the button and getting calls from Peters and Charlie Coultas in the blinds, he fired 6,400 at a 
flop and grabbed another.
Looks like Eddy came ready to play.
Will Busquet Enter One Drop?
Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Charles Klapproth opened from first position for 2,500 and Olivier Busquet made it 6,000 from the button. The blinds folded and Klapproth didn’t waste much time in throwing his hand away.
As Busquet was gathering in the chips Amnon Filippi asked him if he was going to enter the $1,000,000 entry Big One for One Drop tournament later in the series.
“Doesn’t look like it. I made no effort to sell. If I win this tournament...” Busquet replied.
