Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Fabian Gumz raised it up from under the gun and picked up a couple of callers. The flop came 1052 and Gumz continued with a bet of 1,000. Huabao Chen called on the button and the big blind folded.

The turn brought the 4 and Gumz check-called a bet of 1,900 from Chen. The 6 rolled off on the river and Gumz checked again. Chen sized up a large bet of 14,000 this time and Gumz flicked in a chip to call. Chen flipped over 33 for a straight and Gumz was forced to pay him off.

After Goasdoue checked the 8 turn, Soika fired a second barrel of 4,700. Goasdoue went into the tank and called, then led out for 2,200 on the 8 river.

Soika eventually made the call with AK and won against Goasdoue's A6.

Fleischer Claims Another Victim

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Chance Kornut
Chance Kornut

Picking up the action on the turn with the board reading 10939, Chance Kornuth bet 10,000 into a pot of around 15,000. Terry Fleischer check-raised to 30,000 and Kornuth played with his chips before shoving all in for around 55,000. Fleischer snapped him off and the cards were on their backs.

Chance Kornuth: K10All in
Terry Fleischer: K9

Kornuth was in a heap of trouble with two pair against the trip nines of Fleischer. The river was the A and Kornuth exited the tournament area while Fleischer stacked another pot.

"You've knocked out 15% of the field already," Erik Seidel chimed in from the other side of the table.
