PearlJammer Doubles

Walking over to Jon "PearlJammer" Turner's table, we found him all in preflop against the original raiser.

Turner: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Opponent: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

With Turner in commanding shape, the {5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} board would see him snag the double to move to just over the 10,000-chip mark.

Crazy Side Bets at Esfandiari's Table

Livello 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Antonio Esfandiari's table seems to be the life of the tournament so far, placing wild bets on people's honest answers to crazy questions. For what sounds like a couple of hundred a pop, we've picked up on them asking questions to people such as "What's the lowest amount of money it would take for you to go home without your wedding ring?" and "What's the lowest amount of money it would take for you to shave your head today (to a female dealer, of course).

When the deck is lacking, is seems that the players can't help but find other things to gamble on to keep them entertained.

Saul on the Rise

Livello 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Amnon Filippi opened to 300 from late position and Kevin Saul made the call from the button.

The flop of {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} saw Filippi fire out a continuation-bet of 450 only to have Saul bump it up to 1,350. Filippi flashed his cards to the opponent on his right before quickly mucking.

As Saul raked in the pot, he moved to 24,300 in chips.

More Notables Arrive

Livello 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Michael Mizrachi has just rushed into the room and taken his seat alongside fellow pros Daniel Negreanu, Dan Smith and Darryll Fish.

UK pros Sam Trickett and Neil Channing have also just arrived.

Big Hit To Negreanu

Livello 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

We caught up with the action on a board reading {7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} to find Daniel Negreanu's opponent bet 3,800. Negreanu made the call and we were off to see a river of {8-Diamonds}. Negreanu's opponent checked and Negreanu moved him all in. After tanking, his opponent made the call and Negreanu's only reply was "Good call.".

His opponent tabled {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and was able to scoop the pot, knocking Negreanu down to 7,000.

Trips for the Bear

Livello 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

On a board of {8-Spades}{A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, two players checked to Barry Greenstein on the button who also checked. The {5-Hearts} fell on the turn. The first player checked to the player in middle position who bet 450. Greenstein made the call and the other player got out of the way. The {9-Clubs} came on the river and it was checked to Greenstein, who came out for 1,300. The bet was called and Greenstein tabled {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a flopped set of eights.

The Bear is now sitting with about 16,000.
