The tables have turned for Sasha Liu and Robert Slezak. Liu started the day with less than 40,000 in chips and is now over the starting stack of 60,000 while Slezak lost about half his stack already today. Slezak is trying to recover and he just won a small pot.

He raised to 2,000 from early position and Liu called from the hijack. The player in the cutoff called as well and the {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{9-Spades} flop was dealt. Slezak continued with a bet of 3,000 and Liu got out of the way. The player in the cutoff called.

The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and he bet another 4,000 which was enough to make his opponent fold.

Bechtel Check-Bombs Flop

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

With 22,600 in the pot on a flop of {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, Jim Bechtel had check-raised all in for a total of 75,400 from the small blind over his opponent's bet of 30,200 from early position.

Bechtel's opponent quickly asked for the dealer to rake in the 30,200 from each player in order to see the amount left to call. After about a minute, he asked the dealer again how much it was to call. The dealer confirmed the remaining amount was 45,200.

Three more minutes passed by and eventually another player at the table called for a clock. A member of the floor happened to be walking by at that exact moment and carried out the process. As the countdown neared the end, the floor's "five, four, three . . . " was audible.

With two seconds left, Bechtel's opponent flicked forward his cards and the pot was shipped Bechtel's way.

Action checked down to the river of a {a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} board, and Newhof checked again. Garza flicked a single T$5,000 chip into the pot, and Newhof folded.

Michael Soyza has started well into Day 2c and built a solid profit to his stack already.

The second bet on the turn was for 7,000 and both them opted to check the river.

Henson Can't KO Fomine

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante
Ray Henson
Ray Henson

A player raised to 1,800 from middle position, and Ray Henson called next to act. Vladimir Fomine three-bet shoved for 15,200 on the button, and action folded back to Henson, who shrugged, then called.

Vladimir Fomine: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Ray Henson: {7-Spades}{6-Spades}

Fomine's queens took a bigger lead on the {5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{j-Spades} flop, leaving Henson drawing to running cards to knock out Fomine. The {10-Hearts} turn left Henson drawing dead to the {8-Hearts} river, and Fomine doubled up.

Mackey Misses a Chip

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

There was around 18,000 in the pot on a board of {2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{10-Spades} and the player in the big blind bet 7,000. James Mackey raised to 40,000 and after about a minute, his opponent folded.

While he was thinking about his action in the hand, the player in the big blind was shuffling his remaining chips. After folding, Mackey realized there was a green, T$25,000 chip belonging to his opponent had that he had not seen when making the raise. Mackey asked politely if he could keep that separate, as his raise in the previous hand had been based on having not seen the large denomination chip, meaning that Mackey thought he was putting his opponent to the test for his tournament life.

Either way, the hand resulted in Mackey taking down the pot right then and there without a showdown.

Kitai gave it some consideration and called. Levi tabled {k-Spades}{q-Clubs} for a missed straight draw and Kitai won the pot with {6-Spades}{6-Hearts} for a set of sixes.
