The Chip Reese table is starting as the feature table for ESPN.

Meanwhile...

John Juanda brings in for 3k with the 2s, Mike Matusow raises to 10k with the Qc, everyone else passes, Juanda re-raises to 20k. Matusow calls.

Juanda:

(?) (?) 2s Aspades

Matusow:

(?) (?) Qc Ks

Matusow calls a 10k bet from Juanda.

Juanda:

(?) (?) 2s Aspades 3h

Matusow:

(?) (?) Qc Ks Kh

Matusow calls another bet.

Juanda:

(?) (?) 2s Aspades 3h 2h

Matusow:

(?) (?) Qc Ks Kh 8c

This time Matusow raises the Juanda bet saying, "What are you going to do now Juuuuuuuaaaaaaaanddddaaaaaaa?"

Juanda calls.

Juanda:

(?) (?) 2s Aspades 3h 2h (?)

Matusow:

(?) (?) Qc Ks Kh 8c (?)

Matusow bets 20k, Juanda calls after a dwell. Matusow flips over Ks 8h 9h for Kings full of Eights, Juanda mucks.

Toto Leonidas may have been unfortunate enough to be named after a small dog, but his luck is flying through the roof here, coming into Day 2 with an impressive 621k stack. And he's back in the thick of the action today, making a concerted effort to partake in multiple hands in order to build his stack even further. Hunched and hovering over the table like a Mateyboy out of his depth, Toto quietly pokes a bet over the line with (?) (?) 4s 5c 6c Ts against Andy Bloch's (?) (?) Jh Qc 8c Td. Bloch calls and the two receive their final card. Check check and Bloch takes it down with Th 8h 4c (two pair). Then, the very next hand, Toto clashes with former Main Event Champion, Greg Raymer, and loses out again, Greg's bet with (?) (?) Td 8s Aspades 9s vs. Toto's (?) (?) 2s 7s Qc Ks being enough to get him to fold before the last card.

Toto's not sitting back on his stack though.

------------

S

A European titan vs. a World titan now as Rob Hollink and Phil Ivey clash heads.

Check calling every single street before checking it down on the end, Ivey mucks his (?)(?) Td 7h Jh Qh (?) to Hollink's (?)(?) Ahrt 3d 2h 6s (?), the Dutchman showing Aspades Kd 8c to take the pot.

Freddy Deeb, Toto Leonidas and Greg Raymer are involved in a pot.

Fifth Street.

Deeb:

(?) (?) 8h Th 8d

Leonidas:

(?) (?) 7h Ts 4d

Raymer:

(?) (?) 4h Qd 9s

Deeb bets, Leonidas calls, and Raymer passes.

Deeb:

(?) (?) 8h Th 8d 9d

Leonidas:

(?) (?) 7h Ts 4d Ahrt

Leonidas calls Deeb's bet.

Deeb:

(?) (?) 8h Th 8d 9d (?)

Leonidas:

(?) (?) 7h Ts 4d Ahrt (?)

Another bet though this time it was from Leonidas, Deeb calls.

Leonidas shows Ad 6s 5c for Aces for the high and 7-6-5-4-A for the low.

Deeb shows Ac 9s 5s for Nines and Eights with no low.

I noticed a balcony on the stage area that (kinda) overlooked one table, so I quickly popped over whilst they crept into the Hold'Em part of the H.O.R.S.E acronym.

On this table was an eclectic range of players including the talkative as ever Daniel Negreanu, the silent as ever David Singer and the bulldog chewing on a wasp as ever Dewey Tomko. I didn't catch any big hands, but what I did see was plenty of pre-flop raising, which, on multiple occasions, was enough to take the pot, renowned cash game player, David Oppenheim being the one to predominantly take advantage of this scerio. If the big blind is folding for a min raise, then I guess it just shows you how expensive the price of poker currently is in this $50k event.

-------------

It has just been announcing to the Rio cardroom that Chip Reese is now OUT of this year's H.O.R.S.E Event, which therefore means we will indeed be crowing a new champion.

A quick scour around the remaining players informs me that Sir Ivey is OUT.

Still looks likely that a big name player is going to snap up the title though.

With the players enjoying a well-deserved 20 minute break (no such luck for us!), it gave me the opportunity to grab a few quick chip counts of Table Raymer.

(2) Isabelle Mercier -- 295k
(3) Gabe Kaplan -- 725k
(4) Toto Leonidas -- 465k
(5) Greg Raymer -- 458k

I'm no Razz expert, so your analysis of this might be better than mine, but hangina round Table Raymer, which, judging solely on the 'names' present, would appear to be pretty tough, I decided to jot down three consecutive hands just to give you an idea of how it goes...

(1) Everyone puts in a 3k ante.

Toto Leonidas puts in 5k, Max Pescatori shoves 15k across the line, Toto matches the 15k.

Toto = (?)(?) 6s 9d

Max = (?)(?) 4s Qh

Max bets 15k, Toto calls.

Toto = (?)(?) 6s 9d Qd

Max = (?)(?) 4s Qh 3c

Max bets 30k, Toto folds.

Max shows 2-5 in the hole.

R

(2) Everyone posts a 3k ante

Andy Bloch comes in for 5k, Robert Mizrachi 15k.

Bloch = (?)(?) Jh

Mizrachi = (?)(?) Ad

Bloch folds before it goes any further.

R

(3) Everyone posts the 3k ante.

Isabelle Mercier comes in for 5k, Kaplan 15k, then Deeb 30k.

Mercier folds, Kaplan calls.

Deeb bets the next steet, Kaplan calls, Deeb then checks and calls Kaplan's 30k bet before bother players check at the end.

Kaplan = (2d)(5h) 7h 6s 2s 7s (6h)

Deeb (3s)(4s) 7d 5d 9s Ts (Td)

Deeb takes the pot with er... um... oh yes, 3-4-5-7-9.

Max called a 30k bet from Toto and then checked the final card down.

Max won with trip threes after showing the 3s.

Freddy Deeb just took a big pot off Robert Mizrachi, check calling the whole way down to find his 7-5-4-3-2 pipping Mizrachi's 7-6-5-2-A.

The antes are 3k with a 5k bring in and 15k/30k

Gabe Kaplan, the erstwhile host of High Stakes Poker, Toto Leonidas and Freddy Deeb get involved in a pot.

Gabe:

(?) (?) 3c 5s Kh 4c (?)

Toto:

(?) (?) 2d 5s Qs -- which lead to him folding on 5th street

Freddy:

(?) (?) 7h Aspades 6d 6h (?)

After Gabe called Freddy on 5th street despite hitting the king, combined with Freddy pairing the 6 on sixth street, the betting slowed down and both checked the last two streets. Gabe showed Ad 7h Ts for a 7-5-4-3-A which won when Freddy mucked.

Gabe was involved in another hand afterwards against Toto once more, and again Gabe got the upper hand betting the 5th street showwing 6c 7c Ahrt against Toto's 7d 8s 9c leaving the latter to muck.

Perhaps someone should tell him he's not in Kansas anymore...  ;booder;

Erick Lindgren is OUT.

He was all-in against Tim Phan with K-J-7-5-2 (four diamonds) vs. Phan's two pair, Queens and Fours.

But with no diamond arriving, Erick was left to exit stage left and out of the limelight of the feature table cameras.

Last hand of the Razz, Andy Bloch raises to 15k with a Ahrt showing, Robert Mizrachi calls with a 4c, Freddy Deeb re-raises to 30k with a 5h, both call.

Bloch hits a 2d and bets 15k, Mizrachi folds when he gets a Kc, Deeb raises with a 8s despite his opponent showing A-2. Bloch calls and gets a Td against Deeb's 3s and gives up when he hits another, the Th against Deeb's 4d which probably gave the latter a wheel.

Gabe Kaplan takes another off Freddy Deeb.

Kaplan:

(4s) (7s) 6h 2s 2d 4c (9s)

Deeb:

(Ahrt) (4h) Js Qc Ad 2h (Kh)

Deeb had raised and bet 3rd and 4th streets, before check-calling 5th and 6th. Both checked the river.

Greg Raymer has been fairly quiet but managed to take a pot off Kaplan (who has been hitting a lot in the last hour or so), Kaplan raised with a 9d, Raymer re-raise with a Ahrt to 30k. Kaplan hit a Tc whilst Raymer had an 8h and both checked, Kaplan got the 7c on 5th whilst Raymer then bet 30k when he received the 9s and Kaplan mucked.

Toto Leonidas:

(?) (?) 5h 3d 7d Kd (?)

Max Pescatori:

(?) (?) 3h 3c Ahrt Qd (?)

Max had brought in and Toto had raised to 15k, and Max called. Max bet 15k on 4th when he hit his pair and 30k on 5th and was called, before Toto bet 30k on 6th street, Max called and both checked the river. Max showed 3s 7c 2c for trip Threes which was good enough to take the pot. My Stud isn't really up to scratch but pair and a missed flush draw for Toto sound about right?

Anyhow, back to the poker...

E

Noticing that Table Elezra had been removed from the spotlight of the TV cameras, I decided to pop up to the balcony, push my way to the front and watch 5 consecutive hands of Eight or Better.

(1) Mateyboy comes in for 5k, Bruno Fitoussi sticks in 15k, Mateyboy matches it.

Bruno = (?)(?) 7c

Mateyboy (?)(?) 5d

Both players check.

Bruno = (?)(?) 7c 9h

Mateyboy (?)(?) 5d Qc

Bruno bets 30k, Mateyboy calls.

Bruno = (?)(?) 7c 9h Ts

Mateyboy (?)(?) 5d Qc 5c

Bruno bets 30k, Mateyboy cals.

Bruno = (?)(?) 7c 9h Ts (?)

Mateyboy (?)(?) 5d Qc 5c (?)

Bruno checks, Mateyboy bets 30k, Bruno reluctantly folds.


(2) Huck Seed is in for 5k with (?)(?) 2d, Bruno makes it 15k with (?)(?) Kd, Huck folds.

(3) Bruno (yes, Mr Fitoussi again) is in for 5k, Greenstein makes it 15k, Bruno calls, but then folds his (?)(?) 2s when Greenstein's (?)(?) Ac was joined by the Kc.

(4) Early pace setter, Eli Elezra is in for 5k with (?)(?) 2c, but releases when Barry Greenstein makes it 15k with (?)(?) 2h Aspades and Huck calls with (?)(?) Tc.

Barry is dealt the Aspades, and bets 15k, Huck calls with the 9c.

Js to Barry, Ad to Huck, Barry bets 30k, Huck folds.

E

(5) Eli is in for 5k with (?)(?) 6s 3s and wins with a 15k bet, Thor being forced to see Eli turn over a handy Aspades 2s.

More Tuan Le, this time in a pot with Mike Matusow, (who is in one of those moods where everyone around him is described as an idiot).

Tuan:

(5h) (3h) 2c 7d 6h Qd (7c)

Mike:

(Ahrt) (4c) Jd Ac 3c Th (7s)

Tuan Le brought in, Mike raised and Tuan called, Mike bet when hitting his Ace on 4th street and again on 5th. Both then checked 6th street and the river.

Mike takes the high half with his Aces, Tuan takes the low with 7-6-5-3-2.

We are creeping up to the 2 hour dinner break, but before that whistle blew, I managed to get four chip counts at a quick glance at how the players looked during these latter stages.

Mike Matusow (770k) -- From the joke in the pack earlier on, Mike is now deadly seriously and seemingly focused on every hand. It's clear he wants to win this one big time.

Rob Hollink (410k) -- usually a cool cucumber, he seems kind of fidgety today. Still, as he sits on his two chairs, his big frame looms over the table in a foreboding manner which must be working wonders for his subliminal table image.

Dave Singer (575k) -- Could this be one of the game's most underrated players? A finalist from last year, Dave is as quiet as usual, casually chewing his gum as if it were a £10 rebuy.

Phil Hellmuth (215k) -- Unsurprisingly standing up and bantering away with all and sundry as you'd expect. Obviously the presenc of cameras has an influence, but either way, he seems to be in confident mood. What bracelet record breaker wouldn't be?

Incidentally, after this hand I reported, Daniel Negreanu came to complain to Tuan about having rolled-up Kings apparently beaten by a pair of Tens.

We've just had a round of Hold'em and are now on the break, with Omaha Hi/Lo when we restart at 9pm Vegas time. The limits for the Holdem and Omaha are now 18k/36k with 9k/18k blinds.

WPT Bellagio finalist, Mike Wattel, is OUT, snipered by Amnon Filipi who must now be the chip leader for sure.

Couldn't see Wattel's holding, but Amnon Filipi had Ts Jh 8c Kc on a Ks 5h Kh Qd 3d board, which was clearly enough to send Wattel to the rail.

Now we're down to three tables, things have gotten very tricky indeed with regards to seeing hands. One table is swamped with spectators that I simply can't battle past, another is in the middle of the sealed off area and thus too far away to see wherever you stand, and the final one is in front of the cameras of the feature table, again too far to see and annoyingly not shot large enough for you to read the cards on the table.

However, I did manage to grab three chip counts from the nearest table, Mark Gregorich being the shortstack of the tournament.

Mark Gregorich -- 70k
Rob Hollink -- 365k
David Singer -- 530k

Also on that table is Phil Hellmuth, who, as they were awaiting the comp to reccomence after the table shuffle, made a concerted effort to waltz around the table shaking hands with each and every player. If only that level of respect remained constant throughout the whole damn kaboodle...

Amusingly, there was a female spectator on the side calling out for Phil's attention as if she was his best buddy - lol. Sheehs, I hate all this 'celebrity' stuff with onlookers thinking it's cool to pretend they know the 'stars'. They're just people ffs.

Just gone to Razz with a 5k ante, 5k bring in with 20k/40k, but just before that, short stacked Noah Jefferson has virtually doubled through.

O

His Ac Aspades were good to scoop the high half whilst Gabe Kaplan and Tim Phan had to split the low with 2-3 each on a Ad 9h 6c 9s 4s board.


Elsewhere George Danzer has made the last three tables of the PLO8 event.  ;cheerleader;

Mark Gregorich, who was down to a paltry 25k, has doubled up courtesy of Rob Hollink.

Mark Gregorich = (7c)(2c) 6s 7d 4d Jd (7s)

Rob Hollink = (?)(?) 2h 3c 6h Kh (?)

Hollink down to 275k.

Just caught Hellmuth leaving the arena. Didn't catch the hand, but it was Kenny Tran who was the assassin.

No 12th bracelet for the Poker Brat this time.

23 left.

Amnon Fillippi has just added to his stack, his Trip Nines in the Stud Hi variant holding against Greg Raymer's Kings and Eights in pot that looked to be close to half a million chips.

Elsewhere just before it switched from Razz I saw David Singer make a very good call with a Jack-low against a bet from a player he must have suspected to having paired one of his baby cards, indeed the Jack low was good.

S

Dave Singer is over the 1 million mark after the Jack high call in the Razz that Floppy eluded to, but also as a result of taking a few chips off Mark Gregorich.

Gregorich, who has comeback remarkably to climb back up to 150k-200k.

With Singer showing 9d 8h Js, Gregorich passed Qc 2c 3d to a 40k bet.

We are down to 21 after two exits in quick succession.

Although shorter than an oompaloompa, Mark Gregorich was not one of those to fall, that unfortunate title going to second-in-chips-at-the-start-of-the-day Toto Leonidas and European favourite Rob (or Robertus as he is listed here) Hollink of Netherlands, the former EPT Grand Final Champ being finished off by Gregorich, his two pairs (7s & 3s) not being enough to conquer the Americans bigger two pair (Qs & 8s).

Those departures mean we are now finished for the day.

The remaining players will return tomorrow at 2pm to play to a final.

That's everything then.

Play will recommence again tomorrow at 2pm (10pm UK time) and they'll be playing down to the final table, so it could be a relatively short day.
