Andrew Robl just doubled himself off chip life-support, finding an ever-so-slightly better Ace than Daniel Negreanu in his
(Negreanu held
). No spike or funny straight/flush business on the board and Robl has 139,000 again, to Negreanu's 341,000.

Andrew Robl's short stack is now positively Lilliputian, as he check-called 8,000, then 18,000, then finally 30,000 from Daniel Negreanu on every street of the 



board, before mucking to Negreanu's revelaed 
.
Negreanu - 420,000
Robl - 60,000

He begged, "Please don't win with nine high!" as he checked behind on the river of a
board after having raised the turn (from 13k to 35k on the button). Feldman showed
which was indeed good and Saar Wilf mucked muttering, "So bad, so bad.."
Their stacks remain pretty much even, though, as the 2k/4k level comes to an end.
A bang on the table and Jim "Mr_ BigQueso" Collopy standing in a curiously Napoleonic pose alerted us to the fact that Martin Kabrhel was all in.
Kabrhel: 

Collopy:

Emperor BigQueso could not conquer his Czech tablemate, and Kabrhel doubled to 330,000 and the chip lead.
Howard Lederer led out 20,000 on the turn of the 


board, and Huck Seed paused for a few moments before sleepily going all in. Lederer, appearing rather more awake, snap-called.
Lederer: 
for a pair of kings
Seed: 
for a set
River: an academic 
Seed doubled up - although with 165,000 to Lederer's 285,000, he's still the table shortie.
This hand was already a big one before the all-in shove on the river as a club fell completing the board's broadway with a bonus:
. 120k in there and 122k in Neil Channing's stack - in it went, prompting McLean Karr to wince a little, saying, "That's a sick move!"
He did eventually make the call, but Channing said, "I have it. Nut flush." He showed
and Karr paid the man his money, saying, "I flopped it!" ruefully.
A possibly disappointing, and rather abrupt end to Phil Ivey's tournament - Gus Hansen progressing through to the third round after a sequence of preflop raises as quick as a hummingbird's wing-beats. Button Ivey found
, big blind Hansen
and in three raises it was on-their-backs time. The board came a definitive
which brought a murmured, "Been a pleasure," from Ivey as he went to collect his prize money.

With around 75,000 in the pot by the 

flop, Phil Ivey checked, prompting another age-long tank from Gus Hansen. Eventually he went all in. Ivey called in an instant.

That rarest of things graced Ivey's face as Hansen turned a set - a twinge of emotion. Pulling faces didn't help him though, and Hansen doubled up to 315,000.
