Day: 2
On a flop of , Ivert bet 10,000 and was raised by Malone to 30,000. Ivert didn't flinch and carefully moved in enough to put Malone all in. He thought for a moment before making the call for his tournament life.
Ivert:
Malone:
Malone would need a diamond or some runner runner combination to keep him alive. The turn and river were not the tonic Malone needed and he hit the rail.
Ivert has moved to over 500,000 in chips.
Docherty, you may remember, started the day with twelve big blinds in his stack. For him to even still be around at this stage of the tournament is quite a feat. Add to his list of feats "dispatched Ivan the Terrible, 2008 WSOP Main Event Runner-Up". There were 36,000 chips in the pot preflop when Team PokerNews member Will Zemljaric tapped our reporter and said, "This is going to be a big hand." He was right.
Docherty checked a flop over to Demidov, who opened for 43,000. That bet left Demidov only 9,000 chips behind. Docherty responded by raising enough to put Demidov all in. He called.
Docherty:
Demidov:
Demidov whiffed on the flop completely and seemed to just hope that he could buy the pot. Docherty was in the lead but had to sweat the turn and the river. His sweat was longer than normal, as the dealer had to wait so that a floor supervisor could be summoned to the table with a microphone to announce the action for the rail.

Docherty is now in the top fifteen in the counts. He has 220,000.
Overbeek had opened preflop for 4,000, then called a raise to 42,000 from Antonius. Overbeek led into Antonius for 75,000 on a flop of . Antonius responded by shipping in his whole stack, a total of 220,000. Overbeek tanked for long enough that Antonius asked for a clock. With a floor supervisor counting down a minute, Overbeek released his hand. He falls to 220,000 in chips. Antonius is now on 379,000.
There are a couple of the "November Nine" still in today's field. PokerNews presenter Gloria Balding chatted with one of them, Kelly Kim, just before the dinner break.
"Show your hand one time," a player at the table suggested. Kambouroglou turned over .
"What are you tanking that long for?" asked Levy. He flashed the and .
The action was opened by a middle position player who raised to 5,000, only to be reraised by Martin Comer to 20,000. Joe Hachem moved his final 19,100 into the pot, and the original raiser called Comer's reraise.
The flop was checked by both players. Comer bet out at the turn, the other player folded, and it was heads up between Hachem and Comer. With no more action possible, they tabled their cards.
Comer:
Hachem:
Hachem couldn't lose, but still called for an ace. The dealer didn't deliver though, instead putting out the on the river. Hachem triples up to around 65,000 chips.
