Level 2 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Bryce Yockey made it 11,000 from under the gun with only Dirk Gerritse calling from the big blind.

Gerritse check-called a bet of 27,000 from Yockey on the A♦8♠6♥ flop.

The Q♣ landed on the turn, and Gerritse checked again. Yockey bet the pot for 81,000, and was met by a check-raise from Gerritse to 321,000. Yockey didn't take long to make the call.

Upon seeing the K♠ fall on the river, Gerritse checked the action over to Yockey, who shoved for Gerritse's remaining 146,000. Gerritse used up a few of his time bank cards before eventually putting in the call.

Yockey revealed a bluff with K♥10♠9♠7♥, and Gerritse turned over a set of aces holding A♣A♥6♦3♠ to win the biggest pot of the tournament so far.

Level 2 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Noah Schwartz raised to 11,000 from under the gun and was called by Dirk Gerritse in the cutoff, Najeem Ajez on the button and Dylan Weisman in the big blind. On the Q♣J♦3♦ flop, the action checked to Gerritse who bet 16,000. Only Weisman called and they checked the 2♠ on the turn. The 4♥ came on the river and Weisman bet the pot for 79,000.

Gerritse reluctantly called and mucked to the J♠J♣10♠6♥ of Weisman, who scooped the pot with a set of jacks.

"Very good turn card," Weisman said while raking in the pot.

While the hand played out, Bryce Yockey was waiting to get seated and Richard Gryko was balanced away from the table.

"Is it a good seat?" Yockey asked and Gryko replied "I have no way of knowing," after the Brit had folded this particular hand which was his first of the tournament.

From the hijack, on a board of 2♠7♥A♦K♣, Dylan Weisman bet the pot for 81,000. James Chen took a few moments before sliding in the call from the button.

Weisman decided to check when the 6♥ landed on the river. Chen tossed out a bet of 100,000, which got Weisman to lay his hand down.

Farid Jattin raised from under the gun to get called by Lou Garza in the cutoff, Tomas Ribeiro in the small blind and Robert Cowen in the big blind. Following the 10♥9♣3♣ flop they all checked and Ribeiro bet the A♣ turn for 16,000. Cowen and Jattin called and the 5♦ river then completed the board.

Ribeiro bet the pot for 95,000 and Jattin used one time bank before he called, then mucked when the Portuguese showed K♣J♣J♠2♠ for the nut flush.

In the meanwhile one table over, Veselin Karakitukov had just sat down and immediately won a big pot off Martin Dam when his A♥A♠K♦J♦ was good on a board of K♥10♣6♦2♦2♥.

Haxton's Double Barrel Wins Him the Pot

Level 2 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Laszlo Bujtas opened from under the gun and received calls from Isaac Haxton in middle position, Gruffudd Pugh-Jones on the button, and Martin Dam out of the big blind.

Four ways to the 10♣6♠J♥ flop where the action checked to Haxton. He bet 4,000, which was called by all three of his opponents.

The 10♥ came on the turn, and after two checks, Haxton bet 15,000. This was enough to force three folds from his opponents, and Haxton pulled in the pot.
