Patrik Antonius Watch

[user24788]

Snoppy's model friend, Patrik Antonius began the day as the chipleader. All though he's no longer at the top of the pack, he's still as stunning as ever.

According to our fashion reporter, Change100, "He's wearing his Martin's Poker shirt unbuttoned halfway down his chest. in the words of Rachael Ray, 'Yum-o!'"

Sizzling Vinegar

[user4144]

Although we've been blessed with the iconic presence of Johnny Chan, the crowd is surprisingly thin on the ground, unlike the frantic bedlam of yesterday. Perhaps it's due to the contrasting personalities of who's appearing - whilst Hellmuth is guaranteed to put on a show, Chan is more likely to sit in silence for the duration of the day, and thus not be of much interest to a pack of action-hungry spectators.

In fact, everything up here seems to be fairly subdued, the players still in bed-time mode and playing in a rather lack-lustre fashion. Maybe it's just a lack of cards at the right times, but I'm in dire need of a big pot to spice things up.

As a certain British commentator once said, "The atmosphere is so tense, if Elvis walked in with a portion of chips, you'd hear the vinegar sizzle on them."

Dare I say it... I miss Hellmuth.

Johnny Lodden Doubles Up

[user22113]

Johnny Lodden moved all in with {A-Diamonds}

and was called by an opponent with {K-Spades}

. Neither player improved their hand on the {J-Hearts}

board, and much to the delight of his hot blonde railbirds, he doubled his stack.

Two New Players

[user4144]

Whether it's a broken table, or simply a case of moving the big blind(s), us lucky chappies upstairs have been graced with the presence of two of England's finest grinders, the likes of which would make a rock look like a wet sponge, in Ryan 'Boyband' Fronda and Neil 'Bad Beat' Channing.

Although easily perplexed and spending most of their time in search of their table, they're still plugging away, Neil with 26,300, Ryan on 26,300.

[user24788]

Over at the featured TV table, I picked up the action on the flop of {Q-Spades}

. Sam Norman was all in for his last 17,000 against Adam Junglen.

Norman: {10-Spades}

Junglen:

Junglen was ahead with a set and Norman was on the brink of elimination. The turn was the {3-Spades}

. The river was the {10-Clubs}

, which gave Norman a bigger set. He doubled up against Junglen to avoid elimination.

Norman increased his stack to 35,000. Junglen slipped to 64,000.

Tran is the Man

[user3511]

Kenny Tran has been one of the more prolific players today. He is entering a lot of pots and throwing his chips around. He is also at a relatively unknown table that he feels he can dominate.

Already past the 100,000 mark, this is a player to watch today.

Howard Lederer Eliminated

[user24788]

Over at the featured TV table, Howard Lederer busted out shortly after the break. He was heads up with Lee Nelson.

Lederer: {A-Clubs}

Nelson:

The flop was {9-Clubs}

. The turn was the {10-Hearts}

. And the river was the {8-Clubs}

. Lederer's hand could not improve and he headed to the rail. Lederer's sister, Annie Duke, played yesterday. She advanced to Day 3 and ended Day 2a among the Top 10 in chips.

Lee Nelson increased his stack to over 60,000.
