Langrock Knocks One Out

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

We just caught the end of a big hand in which Sebastian Langrock knocked out a player. After the hand finished Langrock was kind enough to explain what happened.

Langrock's opponent raised and the German called in position. The flop brought out {J-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Hearts} and the continuation bet was 800, which was raised to 2,400 by Langrock. The initial raiser called and on the turn the {5-Spades} popped up.

The action was checked to Langrock who bet 4,400. The initial raiser check-raised all in for 13,000 and Langrock snap-called.

Langrock: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

The river brought the {A-Diamonds} and Langrock knocked a player out. On the very next hand Langrock raised to 525 and Don Nguyen called in position. The flop brought out {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Langrock bet 675, Nguyen called and the turn was the {J-Diamonds}, on which Langrock bet another 1,125. Nguyen called and the river was the {A-Diamonds}.

This time Langrock checked and Nguyen bet 2,225. Langrock called immediately and Nguyen mucked right away. Langrock's {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs} was tabled and he took down another pot.

Tim Phan Is Back

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Tim Phan has nearly $2 million in live tournament earnings, nine World Series of Poker cashes, and a 24th-place finish in the 2005 WSOP Main Event for $304,680, but since 2011 the man has been rarely seen at the Series.

Well, he's back now and is in action here in the 2014 WSOP Main Event. Seated at Nam Le's table, Phan has a little under the starting stack about halfway through the second level of the day.

Making Money

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Chris Moneymaker opened for 400 and got three callers to a flop of {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, continuation bet for just 200 and narrowed his opponents down to two.

The turn card was the {6-Hearts} and Moneymaker announced, “One yellow chip.” betting 1,000. This time he got one caller. The river was the {2-Hearts} and it was checked to Moneymaker who bet 1,700. His opponent folded his hand.

“No diamonds huh?” Moneymaker said.

“Diamond, five or ten.” his opponent replied.

“Eight-nine of diamonds eh?” Moneymaker deduced stacking his chips.

Four players committed 450 preflop; one of which was "All American" Dave Swanson. The dealer spread a {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop and the original raiser continued for 1,550 with only Swanson making the call.

The turn landed the {8-Hearts} and Swanson led for 3,500 with his opponent making the call. The river landed the {9-Spades} and Swanson immediately announced all in to put his opponent at risk for his last 7,625.

After about two minutes deliberating, Swanson's opponent folded and tabled his {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}, as Swanson raked in the pot and climbed to 42,150.

Kihara Six-Bet Shoves

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Naoya Kihara
Naoya Kihara

Following a raise to 575, the small blind three-bet to 1,600. With the action on Japan's only WSOP bracelet winner in Naoya Kihara, he four-bet to 4,200 from the big blind.

The original raiser folded, but the small blind tossed in two orange 5,000-denomination chips while announcing a raise to 9,500.

Kihara paused for a few moments then grabbed all his orange 5,000-denomination chips and announced all in for roughly 40,000. The small blind quickly mucked and Kihara moved his stack upwards of 50,000.

Aces and Kings for Gross

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Jeff Gross was just moved to the Amazon room and he stepped away from the table to give us a little insight into his first level of play.

"On the very first hand I got black kings and ended up folding on the turn," Gross said. "The lady I played against turned out to have a set of tens."

"On my first hand at this new table I got two black aces," Gross continued, as he went on to say that his stack now hovers around the 36,000-chip stack.

Bloch House

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Andy Bloch has entered the tournament and was just involved in an interesting spot.

Three players went to a flop of {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{a-Diamonds}. The player in the small blind checked and was the only caller when Bloch bet 700. They both checked the {k-Diamonds} turn card and the {k-Clubs} arrived on the river.

Bloch’s opponent bet 900 and he looked back at his cards before folding what was obviously at best a split pot for Bloch.
