Unibet Open Day 2

[AlrightJack]

Been pretty hectic here for me so far today. Dealing with the TV crew, etc has kept me from posting until now. The tournament has been in progress for alsmost 2 hours now and there are 53 players left from 70 that returned. The live webcast of the feature table will start after the break, so anyone wishing to follow the action can do so on the Unibet Open site. Keir Ratcliff and Bepps arte on it, as was Michael McDonald but he has either been busted or moved to another table (odds on he busted). Also on the feature table is red haired Polish pop sensation Mihal Wisniewski. He came in today with a hat with a shark's fin on top of it, but is no longer wearing it. His other half Anna started the day dressed as a nun. But apparently she has a habit of getting knocked out early on day 2 and true to form, she has now had her last tournament rites performed on her.

[AlrightJack]

Mohammad Merza had a nasty exit in a three way all in, in which he was well in front with KK versus QQ and JJ. The jacks took the lead on the flop, but the queens scooped the lot when making a straight on the river.

They are now on a break and there are 50 players left.

[AlrightJack]

I haven't got the chip counts yet, but I haver had a quick glance and it looks like the chip leader is Gianluca Speranza, however, the next four spots are occupied by British/UK based players - Richard Grace, Sam Trickett, Josh Gould and Bernard Litman.

Lights Out at the Unibet Open

The players returned from the dinner break and TD Patrick Hakkinen was about to restart the tournament when there was a power failure on the second floor. Complete darkness for a few minutes, but some cash games carried on using lighters and mobile phones to complete hands that were in progress. It took about 10 minutes or so to power up the set again once the light was restored and play is now underway again.

[AlrightJack]

32 players made it to the dinner break. It's a 1-2 for the UK at the moment with Mohammed Muse leading the way on 231,0000 and Sam Trickett scratching at his heels on 196,600. In total there are 12 UK players left with Josh Gould in 5th place, Richard Grace in 8th and James Mitchell in 13th. The others still in include Alex Rousso, Gurpreet Nagi, Quoc Nguyen, Bernard Litman Ketul Nathwani and Alex Kielman.

Mrs Polish pop star is actually still in, but sans nun outfit.

[GreekStein]

Go Mo, & Sam!

Beppe out, I assume?

[AlrightJack]

Yep, Bepps exited during level 3 I think. Sam still going really well and we are 1 player away from the bubble therefore down to 29 players.
