Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Alex Gelinski opened the cutoff to 600 before James Chen three-bet to 1,800 on the button. Gelinski then put in a four-bet to 6,600, utilizing one of each chip denomination, and Chen called.

On the 9♠7♦6♠ flop, Gelinski continued for 3,500 before Chen raised to 9,500, and Gelinski called.

Gelinski then checked the K♣ turn to Chen who bet 13,000 but Gelinski was not going anywhere as he put in the call.

The J♦ river quickly checked through as Gelinski tabled A♠K♠ for the winner and Chen mucked.

Benjamin Luber and Mike Allen arrived on the Q♠A♣2♣5♥9♦ river with about 25,000 in the pot. Luber checked in middle position, prompting Allen to move all in from the cutoff.

Luber's stack of 37,300 was covered, and he spent about five minutes in the tank. After several apologies for taking his time, he found a fold.

"Do you want to see it?" Allen asked as he was handed the pot. Luber gave an affirmative answer, and Allen tabled K♦J♥ for a stone-cold bluff.

Players were already on the 9♠5♣10♣ flop with a pot of around 2,000 when Benjamin Lamb bet 1,200 and Darren Elias called from the hijack.

The J♠ was turned and both checked to the 4♥ river.

Lamb bet 9,000 on the river which saw Elias fold, handing the pot to Lamb.

There are a number of other notables at the table, making it an interesting Day 1 battle for the players.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Patrick Leonard from under the gun and Brian Jones from the big blind were tangled in a massive pot with around 65,000 in the middle by the river with the board reading K♦10♠10♦3♦8♠.

Jones checked to Leonard on the river who jammed for his remaining 18,700. Over three minutes would roll off the clock before Jones flicked in a chip to call.

Leonard showed A♥A♣ for the winner as Jones tapped the table and pushed his cards into the middle. Another player at the table indicated that they must be turned over for an all-in situation, but Leonard kindly added that he does not care if his opponent just mucks. Jones then flipped over A♠K♣ as he could not get away, and Leonard collected the full double.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Dan Sepiol started the action by raising to 600 from the hijack. Mathieu Choffardet called on the button.

After the small blind folded, Steven Jones made it 4,200 to go. To his surprise, both Sepiol and Choffardet called without hesitation.

"Is it too late to just call?" Jones joked.

When the flop hit J♣2♦10♣, Jones checked. Sepiol bet 5,000 chips.

Choffardet and Jones quickly threw in their cards.

Honkonen Rebuilding

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Charles Honkonen raised from under the gun to 600, and action folded round to Vamsi Magam, on the button. Magam gave Honkonen a good look up and down, trying to get a look at his opponent's stack. "I started the hand with 19,900", Honkonen advised. Magam opted just to call, and the remaining players to act folded.

Both players checked the J♥4♣5♥ flop before Honkonen picked the betting lead back up with a bet of 1,500 on the 9♥ turn. Magam made the call, and the two took a river.

The 8♦ didn't slow Honkonen, who flicked out a bet of 2,500. This time, Magam ceded, returning his cards to the dealer and surrendering the pot to Honkonen.

Tanupat Punjarojanakul made it 700 from under the gun before Natalie Teh three-bet out of the cutoff to 2,500. Punjarojanakul called to see a flop.

The turn came the 6♠ and Punjarojanakul check-called another bet from Teh, this time for 6,500.

When the 4♥ hit the river, Punjarojanakul led out for 11,000. Teh reluctantly called and then mucked after seeing Punjarojanakul's rivered flush holding A♥8♥.

Victor Stauffer raised to 600 from early position, and was immediately met with a three-bet by Eivind Vedholm, one seat to his left. Vedholm made it 2,200, but that wouldn't be the final price to see a flop.

Once action got to Shardul Aramudhan in the cutoff, he wanted to play for more, putting in a four-bet to 6,200.

Action folded to Stauffer, who folded, leaving Vedholm to deal with Aramudhan. Vedholm had no interest in continuing either, though, and also returned his cards to the dealer.
