Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

After working his way up to 400,000 chips earlier, Alex Foxen has taken a hit and now sits with just over ten big blinds. He and Kenny Hallaert are the only two players remaining that were in contention for the Player of the Year race. Making the final table in such a large event could go a long way to winning the title for 2017.

It's a long way to go to reach the final table still but both players surely have their eyes set on returning tomorrow for Day 3.

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Ivaylo Sivinov has been building up a stack in the past hour and he is showing no signs of slowing down, not even when it comes to Maria Zijthof. On a board reading , there was already around 200,000 in the middle and the action was on Zijthof in the cutoff. She checked and Sivinov bet 105,000 on the button. Zijthof made the call and the completed the board.

Zijthof checked again and Sivinov sat in thought for nearly two minutes before the clock was called. Before the tournament staff could reach the table, Sivinov announced all-in. Zijthof counted out her remaining 262,000 chips before knuckling the table and tossing her cards away. Sivinov was pushed another pot as he closes in on the seven-figure mark.
