Perez Spikes Ace

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

It was a clash of the blinds as Dawid Smolka and Roger Perez collided in an all-in hand with Perez at risk during the early stage of Day 2.

Roger Perez: AKAll in
Dawid Smolka: KK

Perez was in trouble against Smolka's kings, but that all changed in a hurry when the 24A flop came to reverse the tables against Smolka.

The 6 turn and the 3 river completed the board as Perez found new life after hitting his ace.

Everybody Loves a.......

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Sin Lan Chen raised from early position to 12,000 and action was folded around to Jaehoon Baek and Matthias Auer in the blinds who both called.

The flop came J93 and the blinds both checked to Chen, who continued for 10,000. Baek called, and Auer folded, and the dealer dropped the 10 on the turn.

Baek checked again, and Chen bet out for 45,000. Baek went into the tank for a short while and then decided to check-raise to 105,000, which sent Chen into the tank for a brief moment before she announced that she was all-in. Baek snap called.

Sin Lan Chen: QKAll in
Jaehoon Baek: QK

The irrelevant 6 fell on the river, and the dealer chopped up the pot.

Emperador Knocks Out Willing

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Diego Emperador raised to 12,000 from middle position and faced an all-in from Kent Willing from the button for 46,000. Emperador called to send them to a runout.

Kent Willing: K10All in
Diego Emperador: A9

It was a coin flip preflop, but the flop landed in Emperador's favor as it came A62 to put Willing behind.

Willing needed some turn and river magic, but there was no magic for him when the A turn rolled over and the 2 river ended the hand and Willing's tournament.

Sheils Scoops His First Pot of the Day

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Brandon Sheils raised from early position to 12,000, and Victor Canaple called from the big blind. The board came out with 510K, and Canaple checked to Sheils, who put out 7,000. Canaple called.

Both players checked the turn K.

On the river 9 Canaple checked again, and Sheils put out 25,000. Canaple took his time and made the fold.

Lehner Shaves Gillette

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Alfred Gillette raised from the hijack to 12,000 before Stefan Lehner chose to play for it all from the small blind and jammed for 123,000. Gillette called for less to be at risk.

Alfred Gillette: AKAll in
Stefan Lehner: 55

It was a fair fight as they headed to the flop, but Lehner gelled with the flop better than Gillette as it fanned out 57Q to give Lehner a set of fives.

The 2 turn ended any hopes of backdoor straight draws as the meaningless 10 peeled off on the river.
