Assorted Counts From Level 2
Level 2
: 100/200, 0 ante
Yunsheng Sun has already lost the vast majority of his stack while Pasquale Vinci and Andriy Palyuga benefited from that to boost their stacks. In a four-way pot just now, Palyuga bet the 
flop for 1,000 and Sun folded. Tamir Segal raised to 2,500 and that forced out everyone including Palyuga.
Only a few minutes later, Roland Israelashvili and Vlado Sevo created a fairly big pot. Israelashvili bet the 
river for 2,200 in the big blind and Sevo on the button raised it up to 7,200. Israelashvili was sent into the think tank and tossed in the additional chips, which prompted Sevo to muck his hand and forfeit the pot.
