The first ever Event #42: $600 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em / Pot-Limit Omaha Deepstack Day 2 is set to kick off at 12 p.m today. Day 1 had a total of 2403 entries with less than 10 percent of the field advancing to Day 2, with only 195 players remaining. Adam Lamphere is leading the pack after bagging 1,870,000 in chips on Day 1.

A few other big stacks in the battle are Caleb Hershey (1,242,000), Dustin Goldklang (1,114,000), Sean Lengendre (886,000), and Fu-Bang Huang (865,000). Caleb Hershey was leading most of the day and battling hard, putting the pressure on near the bubble and showing a massive bluff with nine-high in Omaha.

The 2403 entries created a prizepool of a whopping $1,261,759, with All of the remaining 195 players are guaranteed at least $875 but the ultimate goal is the $194,759 and of course the prestige World Series of Poker gold bracelet. Levels will be 40-minutes today instead of 30, with a 15-minute break after every 3 levels, and a 60-minute dinner break after the 9th level (approximately 6:30 p.m). The planned schedule is to play down to a winner, but there is a chance of the tournament needing an extra day to complete.

Event #42: $600 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em / Pot-Limit Omaha Deepstack

Day 2 Started

Double or Bust

No-Limit Hold'em

As is traditional on Day 2 of a pot limit/no limit event, shorter stacks are taking the plunge in droves, some regaining playable stacks, and some heading out to be paid. In the latter category are Benjamin Naylor and Nathan McLallin, the latter raising all in for an unfoldable-to amount after and utg+1 open from Brandon Lamora. Lamora's {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} hit to pair to more than hold against McLallin's {10-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, and the first table of the day has already broken.

Elsewhere, Dan Heimiller opened for 45,000 and it folded to late position Christopher Nall, who moved all in for 212,000. After a countdown and consideration period, Heimiller made the call with {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Nall's {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} hit on the flop of a {6-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{q-Hearts} board to scoop the pot and take a healthy bite out of Heimiller's stack, which had been over 530,000 at the start of the day.

Tamasauskas Gets Eliminated

No-Limit Hold'em

Vincas Tamasauska moved all in from early position for 150,000, Robert Cowen called next to act and the rest of the table folded.

Vincas Tamasauska: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Robert Cowen: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

They were off to the races but the flop came {q-Clubs}{3-Spades}{10-Spades} and Tamasauska was going to need to catch a seven to stay alive. The turn {10-Diamonds} and the river {2-Diamonds} were no help and Tamasauskas was sent to the payout desk.

Israelashvili Gets a Double

Christopher Asudillo: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

The dealer fanned a flop of {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, putting Israelashvili in the lead. The turn {6-Diamonds} and the river {9-Hearts} changed nothing and Israelashvili doubled up.

Lamora's Run Continues

Pot-Limit Omaha

A shout of "Payout, Table 456 - Two!" rang out as Brandon Lamora scooped another big pot, eliminating both Diego Goncalves and Kartik Ved. The board was still up although the chips were already being stacked by Lamora: {5-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. From the post-hand dissection, it can be surmised that Lamora held some aces that held.

"How do aces hold? You, sir, are a mighty fine dealer," remarked Lamora.

"It's your big blind," he was answered, and at feigned reluctance to put it in, the dealer added, "I think you'll be OK."

The losing hands were {7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{6-Hearts}.

Close Count Busts Rogan

Pot-Limit Omaha

Two players nearly even in chips have amalgamated their stacks into that of Kyle Montgomery, who just took down a pot with {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{2-Hearts} on a board of {j-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}, eliminating Cody Rogan in the process.

"Gamble preflop, huh, sir?" asked Rogan.

"Trying to win," replied Montgomery, as the closeness of the stacks led Rogan to initiate a self-count.

"I'll count them. I want to make sure I'm out before I go out," he said, and the table were amenable. "Good luck, you guys," he said, when he was found to have slightly fewer chips.

Lu Runs Into a Set of Aces to Be Eliminated

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

In a three-way pot, on a flop of {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and roughly 320,000 in the middle, Yang Lu moved all-in from the small blind for roughly 140,000. Ted Lawson quickly announced all-in as well and Dustin Goldklang got out of the way in a hurry.

Ted Lawson: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{j-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Yang Lu: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

Yu didn't like seeing the set of aces from Lawson, but he still had a chance with a flush draw. The turn was the {5-Spades} and the river was the {9-Clubs}, giving Lu nines full of fives, but losing to Lawson's aces full of fives.
