World Series Of Poker Europe Update: Day 2Stacks Fluctuate Wildly Before Final Nine Emerge on Day 2 of WSOPE |
|
With 45 paid places to play for on day 2 of the £1,500 no-limit hold’em event, exits were hard to come by early session.
World Series Of Poker bracelet winner Jesper Hougaard took a substantial pot off Shaun Deeb with A
Q versus 10
10 on a K
Q
A77 board. The two went head-to-head once again shortly after with Deeb holding A-K against Hougaard’s pocket fives. It was not to be this time either for Deeb, and he was sent hurtling towards the rail.
Poker prince Yevgeniy Timoshenko clashed with champion Neil Channing on a flop of A24. Timoshenko bet 4,400 and Channing raised it to 11,000. After a moment of thought, Timoshenko pushed all in, and Channing quickly made the call. It seemed they both had made a hand, but at opposite ends of the scale. Timoshenko was holding pocket aces, and Channing had pocket twos. The Q on the turn and 6 on the river did nothing for Channing, and Timoshenko took down a rather large pot of around 70,000 chips.
After the bubble was burst, James Akenhead ran into the monster chip stack of Dane Jesper Hougaard. Akenhead raised preflop, Hougaard called, and the flop came down 7Q3. Akenhead checked, Hougaard bet 10,000, and Akenhead moved all in for around 30,000. Hougaard insta-called and they revealed their cards:
Akenhead: 88
Hougaard: AA
The turn and river made no difference, and Akenhead scrambled out of Hougaard’s trap to make his exit.
Play slowed down with less than 25 players to go as the ₤144,218 top prize and WSOP bracelet moved ever so slightly closer.
Daniel Negreanu raised preflop and Christophe Bommes, who had him covered, pushed all in. Negreanu was not having the best of levels but after some time in the tank he decided to call with pocket nines. Bommes revealed AK and the board came 8K42Q sending Negreanu out of the tournament.
With nine players rocketing towards the final table, another nine were destined for the door. The players who exited in 18th-11th place were:
18th: Willie Tann (£5,535)
17th: Matthew Novak (£5,535)
16th: Warren Woodall (£5,535)
15th: Andy Blich (£7,072)
14th: John Kabbaj (£7,072)
13th: Tim Penningon (£7,072)
12th: Joseph El-Shater (£7,072)
11th: Costas Artemis (£8,610)
Christoph Bommes became the final table bubble boy in 10th place when his pocket jacks picked a fight with Timoshenko’s AK, and did not survive.
The final nine returning later today to battle it out for the number one spot are: 
Seat 1: Fuad Serhan 61,000
Seat 2: Daniel Nutt 207,000
Seat 3: Yevgeniy Timoshenko 345,000
Seat 4: John Dwyer 511,000
Seat 5: Ian Woodley 153,000
Seat 6: Jesper Hougaard 89,000
Seat 7: Linda Lee 121,000
