After losing more than half of his chips early on, Dieter van Itterbeeck is almost back to where he started. The Belgian won a flip with pocket jacks versus ace-king.
Ace king (or Anna Kournikova) looks good but never wins. Doubled through the same opponent. Now my JJ held up. Playing 120k #WPTNBrusselsFollow @dietervi

Matas Cimbolas raised from under the gun and was called by Jussi Cimbolas in the big blind. During the hand, Cimbolas already talked a lot to his opponent and they checked down the board until the river. Before it was the turn of the Finn to make his decision, Cimbolas was at it again.
"Don't forget, you are on tilt. Don't make any crazy moves." About two seconds later Matilla moved all in and Cimbolas asked for a count. It was 39,100 to call and the question "If I fold, you show your bluff?" went unanswered. Eventually Cimbolas called and was shown the .
The Lithuanian was reluctant to turn over his cards, since it was an all in showdown tournament director Christian Scalzi reminded him that all cards had to be shown. "Can't I eat my cards?" Cimbolas asked and the entire table cracked up. It was the of Cimbolas that brought both players almost even in chips.

The table of Michael Gathy appears to be "a massacre" (quote from another blogger), as Jean Montury was also sent to the rail. Among the other players to be seated is Bjorn Wiesler, who started Day 2 as one of the shortest stacks. The German has however recovered nicely even though he folded from the small blind to the big blind of Gathy.
Only 100 players left!
