Lacey Building Up

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Patrick Lacey came into the day as a short stack and had already moved all in several times during the first level of play without receiving any calls. Having built up a playable stack courtesy of stealing several rounds of blinds, Lacey opened to 60,000 from early position. He received a single caller in the form of Alexander Charron in the cutoff.

Both players checked through the {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{q-Clubs} flop to the {a-Hearts} turn. At this point Lacey led out for 60,000, eliciting a fold from Charron and sending another pot Lacey's way.

Hinkle Takes Out Two

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Mason "Uncle Ron" Hinkle calls himself the "ultimate poker railbird," but so far on Day 2 he's been the one to watch after busting two players on consecutive hands.

In the first hand, Hinkle raised to 90,000 from the button before Daniel Samson shoved for 300,000 in the small blind. Hinkle called.

Daniel Samson: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Mason Hinkle: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Samson hit a pair of jacks on the {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop but improved no further as the board ran out {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and he hit the rail.

The next hand, bracelet winner Jim Collopy shoved for 600,000 and Hinkle again called, dominating Collopy's {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} with {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}.

Once again, Hinkle was left with the best hand as the board came {6-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, propelling him over the 2,000,000 chip mark.

Roarke Spikes a Nine on the River

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Alexander Zeligman raised to 40,000 in early position and Philip Roarke called off his 70,000 next to act.

Philip Roarke: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Alexander Zeligman: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Roarke was dominated and the {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop didn't look promising. The {2-Clubs} hit the turn but Roarke stayed seated as the {9-Diamonds} fell on the river for him to survive and double through Zeligman.

O'Connell Flops a Straight, Still Busts

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Colby O'Connell three-bet all in for 225,000 from the small blind and Josh Prager called in the cutoff.

Colby O'Connell: {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Josh Prager: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The {3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop gave O'Connell a wheel and Prager a flush draw, which he completed on the {7-Clubs} turn. Left drawing dead, O'Connell was already standing up as the dealer turned over the inconsequential {10-Hearts} on the river.

Ducks Don't Fly For Lacey

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Patrick Lacey opened on the button and Robert Covert shoved with the larger stack out of the small blind. The big blind folded and Lacey wasted little time before calling off for his tournament life.

Patrick Lacey: {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Robert Covert: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Lacey was at risk and would need to win what was essentially a coinflip to survive. He had one foot out of the door, however, after the {6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{k-Spades} flop and the {j-Diamonds} turn left him drawing thin. The {10-Spades} river officially ended Lacey's tournament early on Day 2. Covert, meanwhile, has surged to over 1,500,000 to place him among the big stacks in the room.

Elsewhere, eliminations have been coming at a fast and furious rate, with more than 60 players gone in the first two levels.

Eichhorn's Flopped Pair is Good

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

With about 240,000 in the middle, the flop read {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. Daniel Eichhorn was in the big blind and checked to Anthony Ribeiro on the button, who dropped a bet of 45,000 across the line. Eichhorn called.

The {8-Spades} hit the turn and Eichhorn checked again before he was faced with a bet of 160,000. He took about 20 seconds and then made the call.

The {4-Clubs} landed on the river, completing the board and both players checked. Eichhorn tabled {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for a pair of nines (that also flopped a flush draw) and Ribeiro mucked his hand.
