Nipun Java check-called a bet worth 2,500 on the {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop and the {10-Hearts} turn was checked by Java and Eric Samuelson checked back.

Rand Chips Up With Aggression

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante
Kevin Rand
Kevin Rand

Anthony Desai raised the button and Thomas Abbas called in the small blind. Kevin Rand then three-bet to 3,200 in the big blind and Desai was the only caller. Rand continued for 3,000 on the {j-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop and received a call to then repeat the same procedure on the {4-Clubs} turn for 7,100.

The {q-Diamonds} fell on the river and Rand now bet 14,000. That sent Desai deep into the tank and he eventually folded to award the pot to Rand.

McLaughlin Grabs Some Chips

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

A flop {6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} was revealed and it was checked to the middle position player who bet 1,200. Only McLaughlin stayed in the pot and a {2-Hearts} on the turn was check-check.

The river fell the {k-Hearts} and McLaughlin bet for 2,000. His opponent didn't take long to muck his cards.

Assorted Counts Across the Amazon Room

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Aces Versus Kings

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Louis Cheffy is still in the tournament, but will be battling uphill after being on the wrong end of the ultimate preflop cooler.

In late position, Cheffy flatted a raise from a player in early position, and was three-bet by Christian Steindel directly to his left.

The original raiser folded, and Cheffy came back with a four-bet to 13,000, which was followed by a five-bet all-in by Steindel for about 24,000. Cheffy called to see the bad news.

Christian Steindel: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Louis Cheffy: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The board ran out {4-Spades}{5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades}, giving Steindel a doble-up and putting Cheffy on a short stack.

McKeehen Busted by Avne's Aces

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Main Event Champion Joe McKeehen recently departed the tournament area. According to Jonathan Avne, McKeehen and Avne got into a preflop raising war that ended with McKeehen shoving all-in with ace-king and getting snapped off by Avne, who held pocket aces.

A king came on the flop, but Avne's aces held up on the turn and river and he collected the rest of McKeehen's chips.
