Kashat Gets Another Move Through

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

Just before the blinds had gone up, Firas Kashat raised the button and called a pot-sized raise to 240,000 by Mads Amot in the big blind. Amot asked for the size of the pot on the 974 flop and then checked. Kashat bet 300,000 into 525,000 and Amot folded.

Kashat mucked his cards very high so that other players could potentially see it. "I didn't see them," Amot told him and Kashat replied "jack, jack, seven, deuce ... that was the best hand,no?"

Smith Hits the One-Outer

Level 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Dylan Smith
Dylan Smith

Daniel Zack and Dylan Smith got all the chips in on a flop of 310A with Zack covering.

Dylan Smith: 9633
Daniel Zack: AA52

Zack had the upper hand with his top set of aces, but the runout of 23 was especially brutal as it gave Smith the one-outer to hit quads on the river to double-up.

Katz Doubles Through Arieh

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Josh Arieh opened the action from the cutoff to 75,000. It folded to Cary Katz in the big blind who called. The 35Q flop landed and Katz snap jammed for his remaining 155,000. Arieh quickly called.

Cary Katz: A1085
Josh Arieh: AQ73

Both players had two pair, but Katz was in the lead. The 2 turn was a brick, and the 8 river gave Katz the full double up.

Dash Dudley and big stack Dylan Weisman managed to get all of the chips into the middle preflop, with Dudley at risk of elimination.

Dash Dudley: AA92
Dylan Weisman: 7654

The board ran out 36A89 to give both players a flush, but Dudley had the superior ace-high flush to scoop the pot for a big double.

Lyubovetskiy Calls Kornuth

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

On a completed board of A101098, Chance Kornuth announced a bet of 360,000 and the action was over to Andriy Lyubovetskiy who stopped to think before making the call.

"I just have ace-king," Kornuth said but then Lyubovetskiy flipped over Q7610 for a low straight to scoop the pot, boosting his already massive stack to 4,550,000.

Kashat Doubles Roiter; Busts Borenstein

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

With half of his short stack in the middle already, Klemens Roiter was all-in after the JJ4 flop for 255,000 and Firas Kashat looked him up with the covering stack.

Klemens Roiter: KJ1010
Firas Kashat: AA97

The 7 turn and 2 river were blanks and Roiter doubled.

"How does it feel to flop two jacks?" Kashat inquired and Roiter replied "I don't know ... I was ready to go home".

Kashat then "gambled" against Jonathan Borenstein to put another short stack at risk preflop.

Jonathan Borenstein: AA108
Firas Kashat: KK43

"How do you guys always have it?" Kashat sighed but spiked the king on the K32 flop. The 10 turn and 10 river sent Borenstein to the payout desk.

"I gambled ... and I got a stack ... and you got a problem," Kashat announced to the table.

Jonathan Azoulay
Jonathan Azoulay

Jonathan Azoulay was spotted on his way to the payout desk and Dylan Weisman raked in the pot to further cement his status as one of the chip leaders late on Day 2.

Azoulay's KJ97 had flopped two pair on KJ6 and they were crushed by the AAQ4 of Weisman. Nothing changed with the 10 turn and 2 river to send even more chips over to Weisman.
