Arthur Peacock has already more than doubled his stack as he was responsible for the elimination of Brandy Savage. The cards of the latter were already in the muck when Peacock raked in the pot holding 7♠6♠ on a board of A♠8♣6♦9♦5♥ for a rivered nine-high straight.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Pavels Spirins raised to 700 in middle position. Samy Boujmala called in the hijack, after which Michael Chafetz defended his big blind. The trio checked the 6♦10♠8♥ flop, causing the 9♠ turn to appear.

Chafetz checked again, prompting Spirins to bet 800. Boujmala quickly mucked his cards, but Chafetz tossed in a call.

The 2♣ river saw Spirins size up to 2,800. Chafetz check-called to showdown, but he mucked his cards when Spirins showed 8♦8♣ for a set of eights.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Action was followed from the river with two players looking at a 10♦J♠3♦J♥Q♣ board. The pot stood at around 10,500.

Ren Lin checked the small blind and Qi Hu bet 10,000 from the big blind.

Lin asked Hu how much he had behind, taking his time before raising to 32,000. Hu sat back in his seat, and eventually called.

Lin showed J♣Q♠ for the boat, and Hu mucked his hand.

In the next hand, Lin raised the button to 800 and Hu called the small blind. Gary Herstein also defended the big blind.

All players checked the J♠10♠2♦ flop to see the J♣ turn.

Action was checked all the way down to the 7♠ river with Herstein stating "Ace-High", before showing A♦9♣. Hu mucked and Lin showed A♣K♣, just pipping Herstein for the pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Johannes de Koe made it 800 from the cutoff, and only Yuriy Kudrynskyy called out of the big blind.

Kudrynskyy check-called a bet of 1,500 from De Koe on the 7♦K♦A♦ flop.

The 9♥ landed on the turn, and Kudrynskyy checked again. De Koe bet 3,300, which Kudrynskyy called.

When the J♣ hit the river, Kudrynskyy checked for a final time. De Koe fired 5,000, and after a few minutes in the tank, Kudrynskyy folded.

Delval Takes His Seat at the Ladies Table

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Women traditionally make up a small percentage of the Main Event field, so it's a statistical anomaly that three of them, Xiaoqiong Liu, Sara Skinner, and Thea Booysen, are seated side-by-side at the same table.

Frederic Delval just arrived to take his seat at this table. "Bonjour monsieur, and madame," he said to his new tablemates.

"Seat 1, the South African. She's a sniper. So good," tablemate Jonathan Kramer said about Booysen, who is doing the best of the trio and is up to around 80,000 so far.

Ferreira Calls Off Incorrectly

Brett Slezak

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Henrique Camara Ferreira from early position and Mateusz Moolhuizen from the button were involved in a three-bet pot that had grown to over 30,000 by the river with the completed board reading J♦6♥2♥3♦4♠ after Ferreira had check-called a bet on the turn.

Ferreira checked for a final time to Moolhuizen who bet enough to put Ferreira all-in for his final 20,500. Over three minutes would come off the clock as Ferreira lamented, "Sick spot," before he finally slid forward the call.

Henrique Camara Ferreira: 8♠8♥ All in
Mateusz Moolhuizen: A♠A♥

Ferreira called off with his eights but was always in tough shape against the aces of Moolhuizen who got max value as Ferreira hit the exit.
