Match #2 - Hand #1: Leo Wolpert

Leo Wolpert has the button.

He raises to 90,000, and Duthie announces a reraise to 340,000. Wolpert makes the call with position.

The flop comes {6-Spades} {3-Spades} {3-Hearts}, and both players check.

The turn card is the {5-Hearts}. Duthie checks again, more slowly this time. Wolpert also considers for an extra beat or two before putting out a bet of 365,000. Duthie cuts chips out from his stack and stares across at his opponent before laying it down. The first pot goes to Leo Wolpert.

"Chip leader!" come the cries from Wolpert's railbirds, drawing a little smirk from Leo.

Match 2 - Hand #9: Leo Wolpert Wins Match 2

Leo Wolpert has the button.

As expected, he raises to 90,000. Duthie comes along to the flop.

It brings {9-Spades} {6-Clubs} {A-Hearts}. Duthie checks, letting Wolpert continue out with 130,000 more chips. The Brit check-raises to 300,000 straight, causing Wolpert to re-check his hole cards. After doing so, he makes the call.

The turn comes the {2-Diamonds}. Duthie checks again, and Wolpert figures it's once again time to bet. He stacks out a pile of 420,000 chips, and as Duthie takes a sip of water, he fires it into the middle.

Duthie quickly announces an all in, and Wolpert insta-calls.

Showdown
Wolpert: {6-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}
Duthie: {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}

Duthie is drawing dead to the meaningless {2-Clubs} on the river. When the chips are counted down, it's 3,460,000 to 3,440,000 in favor of Wolpert, and he has won Round 2 in short order.

The chips are being reset, and we're going to be right back in action with the winner-take-all Round 3!
