by Brett on 05.31.08, 6:33 pm
Day 2 of Event #1 began at 2:00 PT and already we’ve lost a pair of P5ers. Mike “Martine23″ Martin, sitting behind a short stack as play began, opened for 6500 on the button and the small blind folded. From the big blind, Kathy Liebert raised enough to put Martin all in and he quickly called, revealing K
K
. Liebert flipped over AQ. Martin appeared to be safe on the board of T7
25, but the A
on the river eliminated him from the tournament.
David “DavidP18″ Peters was sent to the rail shortly after by Raphael Zimmerman. The pair reraised each other enough preflop to get Peters all in with AQ against the KJ of Zimmerman. The board came out KQ377, eliminating Peters from Event #1.
Table 12 has been extremely active, mostly by online stars Vivek “psyduck” Rajkumar and Marco “CrazyMarco” Johnson. The two are opening the majority of pots in position and building stacks without much resistance.
Jeremiah “Believer82″ Vinsant is seated between Rajkumar and Johnson and just found an opportunity to double up. Vinsant raised to 7K under the gun and David Stroj reraised to 24K in middle position. Action folded back around to Vinsant, who called with 20K left behind in his stack. On the flop of 2T5, Vinsant moved in and Stroj hesitantly called with AQ. Vinsant’s JJ held and he increased his stack to around 85 K.
