There is a lot on the line today and so far we haven't seen too much crazy action. We just saw a few raises take down pots on all four outer tables, and even where there was a call the pot was decided on the flop.
Patrik Antonius has been fairly active in the early goings after he just bought in this morning. One table over we saw Shawn Buchanan rake in a pot, but more than a few big blinds were not involved.
Dhruvin Patel was the new kid on the block at the start of the day. While the 21-year-old Londoner is familiar in the high-stakes cash game circles, he's new to the Super High Roller scene. There was some excitement surrounding his debut, but it was short lived as he busted just 19 minutes into Level 9.
Both he and Tobias Reinkemeier put in 55,000 preflop and took a flop, which came down . A raising war broke out and before long Patel ended up getting his chips all in holding the . Unfortunately for him, Reinkemeier rolled over the and held as both the turn and river blanked.
Steve O'Dwyer raised to 16,000 from middle position and Sorel Mizzi called from the hijack and all the other players folded.
The flop brought out and O'Dwyer continued with a bet worth 23,000, but that was not enough for Mizzi. The third-place finisher of the EPT Monte Carlo Super High Roller raised it up to 62,000 and O'Dwyer made the call.
On the turn the hit and both players checked.
The river brought the and again the action was checked. O'Dwyer showed but that was not enough against Mizzi's turned pair of nines as he showed .
Erik Seidel entered today with a fresh stack as he busted fairly early on Day 1, and that decision seems to work out for him so far. Seidel just raised from the button after which Igor Kurganov re-shoved for around 107,000 chips.
Seidel called.
Seidel:
Kurganov:
The board ran out and Kurganov was the first player to be knocked out here on Day 2. Seidel meanwhile is off to a nice start and up to around 365,000 chips.
We missed the specifics, but we do know that Dan Shak just doubled through Daniel Negreanu up on the feature table. The board read and Shak held for a rivered straight. Negreanu had the laid out in front of him for a losing set.
A handful of players have registered here at the start of Day 2. Some newcomers are Viktor "Isildur1" Blom, Patrik Antonius and Dhruvin Patel. Poker fans are no doubt familiar with the former two, but the latter may be a new name. That's because the 21-year-old student from Portsmouth, England is better known as a high-stakes cash game player around England as opposed to a tournament grinder.
Meanwhile, Philipp Gruissem has decided to fire a fourth bullet in the tournament, meaning he has invested £200,000 into the £50,000 Super High Roller.
