Michael Moore Spins it Way Up

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

WSOP bracelet winner Michael Moore began the day with just 80,000 in chips and has spun it up very quickly.

With about 400,000 in the pot on a board reading {5-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, Zachary Horton checked from middle position and Moore moved all in for about 260,000 from the hijack. Horton went into the tank for about a minute before deciding to call.

Moore quickly tabled {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}, and Horton tried to muck but was forced to turn over his hand, revealing {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}.

Moore now sits with almost a million in chips.

Wingin' It

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Tammy Wing was down to just 13,000 late in the day yesterday, then built up her stack after winning two, three-way all-ins.

This morning Wing was in the blinds facing an open from the player under the gun, and jammed her stack in the middle. She got a call, and tabled ace-jack off-suit. Her opponent showed two eights for a coin flip, but Wing flopped a jack and found another double-up early on today.

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

With about 250,000 in the middle on a board reading {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}{7-Spades}{j-Diamonds}, John Bonadies faced a shove for 250,000 from Sau Mai. He thought for a short while and eventually called.

Mai tabled {q-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for queen-high, and was drawing dead to the {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} of Bonadies. The river was the {a-Diamonds} and Mai was eliminated.

Scott Baumstein Leads the Charge on Day 3 of the MONSTER STACK!

The penultimate day of Event #47: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em MONSTER STACK is on deck at 11:00 a.m. That's when 234 runners will return for 10 levels of poker as they battle for a massive first-place prize worth $1,094,349.

The chip leader coming into the day is Scott Baumstein, sitting on a mountain of chips totaling 1,592,000. Close behind him is Adrian Allain with a round 1,500,000-chip stack, and Claas Segebrecht finishes off the top three with 1,337,000.

Those 234 players are the survivors of a huge field of 6,717 unique entries. Day 2 started with 1,944 players on Monday morning, and of those remaining, 1,008 players made it into the money for a min-cash worth $2,249. The remaining players coming back today are guaranteed a payout of $5,415, but all are solely focused on pocketing over a million dollars along with the elusive gold WSOP bracelet.

As noted, Day 3 will play out much like Day 2 with 10 levels of 60 minutes apiece. There will be a 15-minute break every two hours, plus a scheduled 60-minute dinner break after the sixth level at approximately 5:30 p.m. Those left will then bag and tag their chips to come back for the final day on Wednesday at 11:00 a.m.

Keep following along as the PokerNews live reporting team continues to bring all of the action right to your fingertips.
