Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

It was a rough start for Krasimir Yankov who took his seat just before the first break of the day. He was down to just 21,000 chips off a starting stack of 60,000. However, he just recently received a full double up, putting himself right back in the thick of things.

Yankov raised it up from middle position and was called by both of the blinds. The flop came J♣7♣3♠ and Yankov continued with a bet of 1,100. Both of the blinds just called and the 8♥ peeled off on the turn.

The blinds checked again and Yankov flicked in a bet of 3,000. The small blind called and Stuart Wilkinson in the big blind raised to 8,300. Yankov jammed all in for 17,800 which got the small blind to fold and Wilkinson called.

Yankov turned over 8♣8♦ for a set of eights which had Wilkinson drawing slim with J♠3♣ for two pair. The river was the 8♠ and Yankov improved to quads for a double up.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Hand #1

There was a button open to 700. The small blind folded and Max Steinberg put in a three-bet to 3,200. The button called and they saw a flop of K♦Q♦8♠. Steinberg led for 3,200 and the button folded. Steinberg chipped back up after a slow start.

Hand #2

The next hand there was an under the gun limp by Bruce Little and action folded all the way around to high stakes pro Brian Kim in the big blind. He checked and they saw a flop of A♠3♠4♦. Kim check-folded to a bet of 1,000 from Little. He dragged the pot but Kim still holds the chip lead.

One Table Over

Martin Kabrhel was still talking about the pot he was dragging into his crippled stack. He is still short after some unorthodox play early in the day.
