Slow and Steady

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

The amount of players is slowly rising. We started out with only 36 players registered in the tournament but right now there are already over 130 in the tournament. The latest of these entries include Max Silver and 888 ambassador Dominik Nitsche.

We haven't seen a lot of action though, but that might be because the players all have 250 big blinds to play around with.

Great Start for Deeb

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante
Shaun Deeb
Shaun Deeb

The board was already reading {9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and Shaun Deeb was facing a 2,700 bet in the cutoff after big blind Chance Kornuth put in the middle. Deeb called and both players saw the river.

The {10-Spades} river completed the board and Kornuth bet 20,000. Deeb called the 100 big blind bet and saw Kornuth table {A-Spades}{7-Clubs}. After he took a good look he opened up {J-Spades}{9-Spades} himself for a straight and the winning hand.

Deeb could launch himself in the top spot of the Player of the Year race again by cashing in this event, even though it's gonna be really exciting.

Emmett Wins at Showdown

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante
Joe Stapleton - Randall Emmett
Joe Stapleton - Randall Emmett

Randall Emmett enjoyed some laughs with his new tablemates after he found himself surrounded by several professionals including Alex Foxen, Dominik Nitsche, Max Silver and Jonathan Little.

The American film and television producer joked about how he saw his changes against some of the best players in the world, but just took down a pot against Max Silver.

Emmett and Silver were heads-up on an {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{k-Clubs} flop, and Silver checked to Emmett on the button, who also checked. Both players checked again on the {2-Clubs} turn and for the third time after the {3-Clubs} river came.

Emmett revealed he had {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for a pair and Silver conceded the pot.

Deeb Puts Kornuth All In

Level 3 : 150/300, 300 ante

The board was down {7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{k-Hearts}, and Shaun Deeb had check-raised a 16,800 bet from Chance Kornuth on the river. The raise was enough to put Kornuth all in, and he was unsure over his decision.

"This is silly", Kornuth said jokingly.

Kornuth reluctantly folded and showed Deeb his hand which was {4-Hearts}{4-Spades} for a set.

"You can see one," Deeb joked, before he turned over {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a flush.
