The Rich Get Richer

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Jens Jorgensen
Jens Jorgensen

"Wow and I almost fell asleep," Jonathan Khalifa added after looking up from the massage. What had happened? Khalifa only knocked out one of the opponents with an above-average stack in the classic aces versus kings setup. The other player happened to be Jens Jorgensen, who four-bet all in for around 450,000 with the {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} and Khalifa snap-called with {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}.

After a board of {A-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, the rich got richer and Khalifa soon approaches two million in chips.

Mclellan Dusts Off his Chips

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Duncan Mclellan started off strong on Day 2, climbing to around 500,000 but that quickly turned around. After arriving at the table, Mclellan was down to just 120,000 and he was all-in from under the gun. He was up against Ivaylo Sivinov in the big blind.

Sivinov turned over {a-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Mclellan showed {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. The board ran out {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Sivinov's pair of tens were good enough to eliminate Mclellan.

Khalifa a Chip Millionaire

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Frenchman Jonathan Khalifa appears to be the current chip leader with 119 players remaining as he sits on a stack of around 1.3 million. Evrim Yilmaz on the same table jokingly announced in French that he may soon be all in without checking his cards, having looked at the screens and current blind level.

Sinivov Busts Gegic

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Rifat Gegic had cashed in at least two Day 1s before finding a bag and advancing to Day 2. However, he just now check-raised all in after a flop of {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{2-Diamonds} with pocket sevens and his sole opponent Ivaylo Sivinov called with pocket nines to see two bricks on turn and river.

Also among the most recent casualties were Erich Kollmann, Rene Berube, Vladimir Troyanovskiy and Leonardo Romeo.

Racener's Two Pair Gets Crushed

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
John Racener
John Racener

Gaetan Cauchy raised from the hijack and John Racener called from the big blind. The flop came {7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} and Racener checked to Cauchy who continued for 40,000. Racener check-raised to 85,000 and Cauchy pushed all-in for 211,000. Racener instantly called and Cauchy tabled {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}.

Racener out-flopped him with {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Cauchy immediately was displeased. He pushed all of his chips forward and stood up from his chair, spewing out a few French curse words. The dealer burned and turned the {a-Spades} and Cauchy's emotions instantly reversed.

"Yes! Yes!" Cauchy was screaming as he turned a set of aces, leaving Racener drawing dead to the {q-Spades} on the river. "Why did you call me with three-four?" Cauchy asked.

"Because you put all of your chips in drawing to 5%," Racener replied with a laugh. His chip stack wasn't as funny as he was left with under 100,000 and would bust shortly after.

Zoufri Doubles Through Ranzinger

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Abdelhakim Zoufri
Abdelhakim Zoufri

At the end of the previous level, Sascha Ranzinger opened from the cutoff for 22,000 and Nebojsa Ankucic called on the button. Abdelhakim Zoufri shoved in the small blind and the action was back on Ranzinger. The German tanked for quite some time and the clock was called on him, Ranzinger called with a few seconds left and Ankucic folded pocket tens.

Abdelhakim Zoufri: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Sascha Ranzinger: {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

The {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop gave Ranzinger two pair, but Zoufri regained the lead with the {Q-Spades} turn. A blank {3-Diamonds} river changed nothing anymore and Ranzinger, who was up to almost a million in chips before the hand, dropped some.

Luske Folds to Hofmann's All-In

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Thomas Hofmann opened to 23,000 from middle position and Marcel Luske called from the hijack along with the big blind. The flop fell {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and the big blind checked to Hofmann who continued for 30,000. Luske called and the big blind folded.

The turn landed the {9-Clubs} and Hofmann announced all-in. Luske had just under 150,000 remaining and elected to fold. Hofmann scooped the pot and is quickly closing in on 1,000,000 chips.

Zijthof Holds with Kings

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

The action folded to Maria Zijthof who raised to 26,000 on the button. Ruben Garcia Blancas three-bet to 58,000 from the big blind and Zijthof shipped all-in for 175,000. Blancas made the call and the two hands were tabled.

Zijthof: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Blancas: {a-Spades}{6-Spades}

The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Zijthof's pocket kings held on to double up through Blancas.
