Reard, Chidwick, Loeser, Maue, et al.

When scouring the roughly 250 tables that are currently running on Day 2abc, there are very few that stand out like Table 453. The action folded around to Stephen Chidwick on the button who made it 4,000 to go. Leonard Maue folded his small blind and Manig Loeser called from the big blind.

The flop came Q♥7♠6♦ and Loeser checked to Chidwick who continued with a bet of 3,000. Loeser check-raised to 9,500 and Chidwick instantly dispatched his cards.

A few hands later, Alexandre Reard opened to 3,000 in early position and Chidwick three-bet to 9,000 from a couple of seats over. The action folded back to Reard who wanted nothing to do with the high-roller as he quickly folded as well.

Michael Lech limped from under the gun and in the small blind, Abby Merk raised to 6,000 which only Lech called.

The flop peeled off 6♦4♣3♣ and Merk continued for 5,500 which saw Lech raise to 16,000 and Merk call.

Action checked through on the 3♥ turn to the 8♣ river that saw Merk bet 25,000 and Lech released his hand, ceding the pot to Merk.

Lazar Bartha, James Tilton and Timothy McDermott had gathered 10,000 in the middle when the flop of 6♣2♦Q♦ was dealt. Bartha and Tilton checked from the blinds and McDermott bet 3,500 from middle position.

Only Bartha made the call and the 3♠ turn graced the felt. McDermott now upped the ante to 14,000 after another check from Bartha, who called yet again.

The J♦ river then completed the board and both players now checked. Bartha tabled K♦Q♠ for top pair and McDermott quickly mucked his hand.

On the 9♠9♥J♦ flop, Deeb made a continuation bet of 2,000. Under the watchful eye of the cameras following him, Lim check-called.

The 7♥ appeared on the turn, and Deeb fired a second barrel of 6,500. After a few seconds, Lim decided to fold.

Steven Nichols was facing a bet of 12,000 from an opponent under the gun on a flop of J♦9♠10♠ and called in middle position.

The turn came the 8♦ and action checked to Nichols, who now opened the betting for 16,500. His opponent called to the 2♥ river, where Nichols fired out another 26,000.

The under-the-gun player slid his cards into the muck as Nichols took the pot and is now approaching 500,000.

Mazzawi Fighting Back from the Brink

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The big blind bet 4,500 on a board of 6♠8♥2♠8♠ and Christopher Mazzawi called from the cutoff.

When the big blind bet again, this time 17,500 on a 3♦ river, Mazzawi snapped him off. The big blind showed a busted straight draw, and Mazzawi the nut flush A♠J♠.

"Look at him," Axel Hallay said. "He was about to bust, and now look." Mazzawi confirmed Hallay's admiration, saying he had been down to 19,000 before the dinner break, and had reraised a 14,000 bet all in with just ace five, and spiked the ace that catapulted him toward his current post-dinner-break stack.

Meanwhile at this table, Robert Russ has continued his strong Day 2, chipping up his big stack with what he called, "Some inadvisable hero calls that nevertheless worked out."

In a heads-up pot with roughly 10,000 in the middle on a flop showing 7♦6♠2♠, Colin Mchugh bet out 4,000 from early position and his opponent on the button raised to 12,000. Mchugh tossed in chips for the call and the pair saw the 2♦ turn.

Mchugh checked his option to the button who continued with the same size of 12,000 and Mchugh came along. The 2♣ completed the board and Mchugh checked again. The button took some time, but in the end tapped the table to a showdown.

Mchugh rolled over Q♠Q♥ for a full house and scored the pot when his opponent mucked their hand.
