Yevgeniy Timoshenko opened for 2,900 from the hi-jack and Loren Jorgensen re-raised all-in for about 18,000 from the button. The blinds folded and Timoshenko asked for a count before announcing, "Call."
Timoshenko:
Jorgensen:
The board ran out and Timoshenko's pair of sixes was good enough to scoop the pot and send Jorgensen to the rail.
After having took a hit a bit earlier in the level, Timoshenko is back up to 80,000.
Sorel Mizzi has still not shown up for his Day 2 start. His 56,000 stack is well above average and being blinded off. His unmanned stack has already been moved once and could break a third time.
Action folded around to Andreas Klatt in the cutoff, who min-raised to 2,000. Chino Rheem called on the button, and Michael DeMichele called in the big blind. The flop came out . DeMichele checked, and Klatt fired out 2,800. Rheem called fairly quickly, and DeMichele folded, leaving the players heads up. The turn came the , and again Klatt led out, this time for 4,100. Rheem took some more time with this decision, but again decided on a call. The river brought the , and Klatt checked. Rheem thought for about 20 seconds, before throwing out a bet of 12,000. Klatt called almost immediately, and neither player seemed too anxious to show their cards. Eventually, Rheem flashed for aces and eights, and Klatt showed for a flush. Despite losing that hand, Rheem is up on the day from his starting stack of 71,300.
Jonathan Little opened for 2,200 and found one caller in Jason Deutsch from the big.
The flop came and Little c-bet to 2,600. Deutsch almost immediately announced, "Raise," and pushed out 10,000. Little mucked the second Deutsch's chips went into the middle.
James Mackey and Laurence Houghton went to the flop and Houghton led out with 6,700. Mackey called and the turn card came . Houghton checked, Mackey moved all in for just over 20,000. Houghton splashed out calling chips and Houghton tabled for a flopped set. Houghton held and was draing dead when the came on the river. Mackey is up to 43,000.
Michael Linn opened for 2,200 from early position and action folded around to Yevgeniy Timoshenko on the button, who three-bet to 5,700. Linn thought for a bit and said, "Alright," before sliding out a four-bet to about 15,000. Timoshenko studied his opponent and then very quietly announced he was all in.
Linn fell deep into the tank and began shuffling chips. He asked Timoshenko how much he had left, to which Timoshenko nonchalantly replied, "About sixty-eight."
Linn continued to tank for a couple minutes but then eventually took one last look at his cards and threw them into the muck.
As is always the case at day 2 of these $1,500 events, the bustouts are coming early and often. In our latest slew of causalities, we had our first big name hit the rail, JJ Liu. We didn't see the hand, but there is a new player currently occupying her seat.
