Livello 15 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Brian Rast raised 120,000 under the gun and received calls from Jeremy Ausmus in late position and Talal Shakerchi in the big blind.

The dealer placed 2♥A♣8♦ on the board, which Shakerchi checked. Rast then bet 160,000, which resulted in Ausmus calling and Shakerchi folding.

Bonomo Tangles with Heath in the Blinds

Livello 15 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The action folded around to Justin Bonomo in the small blind who shipped all in. Ben Heath looked down at a premium in the big blind and instantly called off his stack of 600,000 chips.

Ben Heath: J♥J♣
Justin Bonomo: 7♦6♦

The flop fell Q♣J♦10♦ to give Heath a set of jacks but Bonomo picked up a flush draw. The 10♠ paired the board on the turn to give Heath a full house, making Bonomo's flush on the K♦ river irrelevant.

Winter Stays for a Little Longer

Livello 15 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Sean Winter was down to just 55,000 chips at one point but managed to turn that 55,000 into 260,000 chips. The action folded to Winter on the button who shoved all in and Brandon Steven called from the big blind.

Sean Winter: K♠K♣
Brandon Steven: Q♥J♥

The flop came 10♣8♥6♣ and Winter was ahead but not out of the woods yet. The K♥ hit the turn, giving Steven plenty of outs. However, the 4♣ on the river bricked out, leaving Steven with just 20,000 chips and he would bust on the next hand.

Robl Kicks Sturm to the Rail

Livello 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Leon Sturm was one of the late entries on Day 2 after capturing his first WSOP gold bracelet in Event #23: $50,000 High Roller. He was hovering around a starting stack for the first two levels today but after facing a raise from Andrew Robl, Sturm shipped all in for 600,000 in the big blind. Robl quickly called and the cards were face up.

Leon Sturm: A♠10♣
Andrew Robl: A♦Q♥

Robl was in a dominating position and the flop of 6♦3♦2♥ left it that way. The K♣ on the turn and the 2♠ on the river were no help to Sturm who was bounced to the rail.
