Good Start For Xuan

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

Xuan Liu called a bet of 200 on the {2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop and then raised from 250 to 625 when the {A-Hearts} appeared on the turn. Her opponent folded and the 888poker pro raked in the chips. On the tables nearby we caught a few more chip counts that you can find below.

Checked Down Pot

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

It most definitely wasn't a huge hand between Steven Dannenmann and Paul-Francois Tedeschi, but gave us the opportunity to enter them into the chip counts. The Frenchman won the pot with {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs} versus {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts} on a {2-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{7-Hearts} board and glanced back at his iPad to watch the match of France vs Honduras. He is below starting stack but most likely happy about the 2-0 lead.

Nanonoko’s Three Hands to Bust

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

Randy “nanonoko” Lew was in the tournament, he isn’t anymore. He gave us a blow by blow account of the 3 hands that comprised most of his action and sent him out.
In the first hand Lew opened with {q-}{10-} and there was a three-bet and another 3 callers. Back to Lew who shoved all in. The three bettor called with {q-}{q-} and the other players folded. The flop was {j-}{9-}{8-} giving Lew a straight and a double up.

The next major hand Lew was involved in saw him three bet with {j-}{j-} the player who previously had queens. He then check-raised all in on the flop of {9-}{8-}{6-} and his opponent called with {7-}{6-}. A {10-} on the turn so nanonoko’s stack reduced.

The very same player did for Lew not long after when Lew called his four bet with {j-}{j-} and his nemesis showed {a-}{k-}, hitting the ace on the flop.

First WSOP Event for Magazine Editor

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

Ross “Startch” Jarvis, Editor of Poker Player magazine, is playing his first ever WSOP and is understandably excited. We stopped by to see how his first ever level of play was in a bracelet event.

“Terrible.” Jarvis said as a third of his chips seem to have been distributed to other players, but he also said it was a great table and he was enjoying it so far.

We watched one hand where Jarvis was in the small blind and saw a flop of {3-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Spades}. A check-fold was his action on that board. Long way to go.

"Come Back In 20 Minutes"

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

Deann Dozier has had a rough start in the first one-and-a-half levels and only had very few chips when we walked by. Taking a glance, she noticed that and tried to hide the stack with her hands. "Come back in 20 minutes when I have tripled it," she said with a smile. We'll do that. ;)

FossilMan Chipped Down

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante
Greg Raymer
Greg Raymer

Greg "FossilMan" Raymer was looking at a stack under 1,000 in front of him when he opened in the cut-off for 125 and got a couple of callers.

The flop was {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. Raymer bet 200 and got called by the button. The turn card was the {a-Clubs} and both players checked. The river card {10-Spades} saw Raymer bet 400 and there was a brief pause before his opponent folded and Raymer gathered some much needed chips.

Collins Back to Starting Stack

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

We noticed Phil "OSU" Collins in the red section of the Brasilia room and he had a not too shabby start, just lost the profit again though. After a little betting war pre-flop, he called the all in of a short stack for 1,425 with {A-Clubs}{J-Spades} and had a coin flip against {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}. The board ran out {9-Spades}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and none of the overcards from the former November Niner showed up.
