Two Day 2's

I spoke to TD Jack Effel and he said that he was going to break Day 2 up into two flights. The 111 players who survived Day 1a will play at the Empire Casino tomorrow for Day 2a. The players who will survive Day 1b will play at the Empire Casino on Thursday for Day 2b. On Friday, the two fields will combine.

Today will be the last day that multiple casinos (The Fifty and The Sportsman) will be used for the main event. As of tomorrow, the remainder of the main event will be held at The Empire Casino.

Table Break, Dinner Break

From the Sportsman --

Finally, a table has broken here and spread its players around the room, after the exits of Ilari Sahamies and Max Pescatori. No drama in the last three minutes of play here, except that Stuart Fox, part of the broken table, mysteriously turned up at his seat on Neil Channing's right holding an {8-Hearts}. After Channing pointed this out, Fox went and replaced it on the table, looking slightly puzzled at himself.

"Bit suspicious, that," said his neighbour, joking that he'd be watching for a set.

Alex Kravchenko Eliminated

Alex Kravchenko
From the Empire...

2007 WSOP bracelet winner (and main event finalist) Alex Kravchenko has been eliminated. He raised with K-K. An unknown opponent thought he was making a move and re-raised all in with A-10. Kravchenko called and lost when an Ace flopped.

Peter Gould Goes Bust

Peter Gould gets it all in with {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, only to run into {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}.

Miraculously, the flop comes {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades} giving Gould a set of tens and the lead in the hand. The turn is the {6-Spades}, which gives his opponent some more outs. The river brings the {K-Diamonds}, giving his opponent a bigger set and Gould is out of the tournament.
