Oliver Speidel can't seem to put a foot wrong of late. A few posts ago we told you that he had taken a large portion of Tam Truong's chips. Well, just 20 minutes later and he has now taken Truong's tournament life.
It was all in preflop for Truong, who held . Speidel held and stayed in front until five cards had been spread across the felt.
It's all over for Team PokerStars Pro Angel Guillen. The player from Mexico never managed to gain any momentum here on Day 2 and unfortunately will go home empty handed just a few places shy of the bubble.
Guillen had 26,000 in his stack when he open-shipped his . It was Todor Kondevski who would re-ship behind him holding .
The board changed nothing, with no jack for Guillen as he heads out the door.
The bubble has burst and that means one player had to go home empty handed after getting ever-so close to making the money.
The player was Luis Arrilucea. That name may sound familiar to some as Arrilucea finished 2nd for $124,581 in this very event last year. It obviously wasn't the same story this year thought as it all started when a player in middle position opened it up to 12,500. It was then on Arrilucea on the button and he shipped his stack all in. The action flew back around to the opener and he went deep into the tank. Eventually he decided to make the call, turning over . Arrilucea then tabled his and it was off to the races.
The flop housed a , but it also housed a . The turn fell with an to give Arrilucea another little piece, but when the river bricked out, it was all over for Arrilucea has he officially exits in 55th place. The remaining players are now guaranteed $3,688.
Mishel Anunu has been rising up the chip counts for much of the day, but he has recently taken a big hit to his chip stack. It started with an open from Anunu in middle position. The player in the small blind then 3-bet and it was on Didier Guerin in the big blind. Guerin then threw in a cold-four bet and it was back on Anunu who shoved all in. The small blind got out of the way and Guerin made the call.

Anunu:
Guerin was the player at risk, but he was looking good to take the massive double-up. The board ran out , no help for Anunu as he now sits with a pittance of what was once a huge stack.
