Connor Richards

Level 17 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Noah Boeken was all in against the bigger-stacked Joezer Tadger three places off the money.

"Is it a fun sweat or a miserable sweat?" asked sideline reporter Jeff Platt.

"It's always miserable," said Boeken.

Noah Boeken: A♣A♦ All in
Joezer Tadger: K♥J♦

Boeken was right to be stoic as the board ran out 9♦2♥K♣K♦8♦ as Tadger cracked his aces to eliminate Boeken on the soft bubble.

Capriles Sent to the Rail

Nick Becker

Level 17 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Aylar Lie raised to 160,000 in middle position and Miguel Capriles three-bet shoved for 630,000 in the hijack, putting himself at risk. Pedro Cavalieri then reshoved in the big blind for 1,665,000, and Lie called, having both of her opponents covered.

Miguel Capriles: A♦Q♣ All in
Pedro Cavalieri: A♣A♥ All in
Aylar Lie: K♥K♣

The flop came 4♦7♠6♠, with Cavalieri still in the lead. The Q♦ turn offered a glimmer of hope for Capriles but the 6♥ river offered no help and he was sent to the rail. Cavalieri scooped both the main and side pots.

Hellmuth a Lone Wolf on the Money Bubble

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Adam Lamers

Level 17 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Alex Keating opened to 200,000 in early position and Phil Hellmuth splashed in his last 200,000 on his left. Paulius Vaitiekunas also called in the big blind and the cameras swarmed the table with the potential of Hellmuth being the bubble boy.

The flop came Q♣5♣2♣ and the action checked through to the 10♥ on the turn and the 7♦ on the river. Keating hinted that he rivered a pair but the cards remained face down until the action was completed at all of the other tables.

Hellmuth turned over A♥K♣ for just ace-high and Vaitiekunas held 4♠3♠ for the nut-low. Keating flipped over 7♥6♥ for a pair of sevens and Hellmuth's Super Main Event came to abrupt end.

There were three other all-in and calls taking place but each of them turned out to be double-ups, much to Scott Seiver's delight.

"Don't split that cash with him!" he could be heard shouting throughout the room.

The remaining 207 players are now guaranteed a piece of the prizepool and will bag up to return for Day 3 tomorrow at 12 p.m. local time.

Level 17 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Phil Hellmuth stone bubbled the largest guaranteed event in poker history this evening in the Bahamas, an exciting exclamation point on an action-packed Day 2 of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise Super Main Event.

207 players advanced to Day 3 of the Super Million Main Event (along with 90 online players), including chip leader Gytis Lazauninkas and other top-ten stacks including Germany's Sirzat Hissou, Spain's Juan Pardo and former PokerStars ambassador Liv Boeree in a rare appearance on the felt.

Others who bagged include Daniel Negreanu, Matthew Wantman, David Peters, Chris Hunichen, Chris Brewer, Alex Keating and chess streamer Alexandra Botez, who has already locked up her biggest tournament cash.

Seiver Cheers as Hellmuth Bubbles

Hellmuth was short four players off the money in the $25,000 buy-in event and folded ace-high in the big blind to survive another orbit. After a few eliminations, he decided to gamble with his last 200,000 — about 2.5 big blinds — against Alex Keating with a better ace-high.

Keating had told Hellmuth earlier that he should even fold aces on the stone bubble. He likely wishes he had listened. As captured by live reporter Adam Lamers, Hellmuth splashed in his final chips with ace-king and couldn't survive a three-way all-in as Keating made a pair of sevens. The Poker Brat had an opportunity to chop a minimum cash as there were three other all-ins, but all ended in doubles. During all of this, reigning Player of the Year (POY) Scott Seiver cheered on the other all-ins in the hope that Hellmuth would be the sole bubble.

It's been quite the day for Hellmuth, who earlier in the day busted a 25-plus big blind stack after calling off with an offsuit queen-deuce (reminiscent of a viral hand against Alex Foxen two years ago).

Another player in the Day 2 field was NBA star Tony Parker, who was eliminated outside the money. Parker spoke to PokerNews on Day 1 about getting bluffed off kings and playing poker with his San Antonio Spurs teammate Tim Duncan.

How Close to $50M Guarantee?

There was some speculation yesterday that the $50 million guaranteed event could come up short by eight figures. But a surge of 254 new entries on Day 2 put that to rest as the event came up $550,000 short of the guarantee.

The $25,000 buy-in event attracted a total of 1,378 entrants across four starting flights and Day 2 entries. Adding that with 600 online players, there were a total of 1,978 entrants for the Super Main Event. They needed 2,000 players to hit the guarantee and fell short by 22 players.

Day 3 action will pick up at the start of Level 17 with blinds of 40,000/80,000/80,000. Each returning player has locked up at least $50,000, while $6 million sits up top for the eventual champion.

Stay tuned as PokerNews will be back on-site at Atlantis for continued coverage of the first-ever Super Main Event in the Bahamas.
