Sharp Start for Bakes

Level 12 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

David "Bakes" Baker brought one of the bigger stacks into Day 2, and he's nearly doubled his belongings. Baker's latest addition came when he tangled with Cai Zhen on a board of {5-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} with both players in early positions. Each had a bet of 4,800 in front of them and Bakes fired 8,500 on the river. Zhen took some time before calling, but he mucked when Baker revealed {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} for a flush.

Bucky Finds Big Slick

Level 11 : 400/800, 800 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Shawn Buchanan shoved his last 10,100 from the button and Eli Elezra called on his left. Chris Ferguson gave it some thought but then decided to let Buchanan and Elezra heads up.

Buchanan: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Elezra: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

"You're not supposed to have such a good hand," Elezra smiled, knowing that in many cases he'd hold the dominating hand.

This time, however, it was Buchanan who got the best of it and the board of {7-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} confirmed his double.

Urbanovich Goes to Work

Level 11 : 400/800, 800 ante

No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw

Dzmitry Urbanovich took down consecutive pots to get his stack up to 54,000, putting a beat on Phil Hellmuth in the first of those pots with a jack-low. Hellmuth was still steaming over the hand when Urbanovich called an all-in on the first betting round in the next hand.

Dzmitry Urbanovich: {10-}{7-}{6-}{3-}{2-}
Jameson Painter: {8-}{7-}{7-}{5-}{3-}

The draw did nothing to help Painter's fortunes, and he's out to the rail as Level 11 winds down.

Bleznick checked back on the {2-Diamonds} turn and the {a-Hearts} completed the board. Henson cut out a bet of 25,000 and Bleznick laid his hand down.

Turner Eliminates Siegel

Level 11 : 400/800, 800 ante

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

The action was caught postdraw, with a large chunk of chips in the main pot. Jordan Siegel was all in and Jon Turner and Arthur Morris fought for a side pot which had already grown to around 15,000. Turner moved all in for heaps and Morris tank-folded his hand, leaving Turner the side pot. Turner would eventually scoop it all as his {8-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{3-} was superior to Siegel's hand.

Couden Blasts Against Hastings

Level 11 : 400/800, 800 ante

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Following the first draw, Joey Couden checked from the big blind in a single raised pot. Brian Hastings bet 3,500 from the button and Couden fired back, check-raising to 14,000. Hastings called.

They drew one apiece and Couden potted for around 33,000. Hastings quickly folded.

In the meantime, Phil Hellmuth doubled in a hand of PL 2-7 Triple Draw, fading Jameson Painter's one-card draw. Hellmuth had a {10-}{8-}{5-}{3-}{2-} and Painter peeled a king, doubling the Poker Brat.
