After Igor Kurganov opened for 12,000 from the cutoff, Joni Jouhkimainen three-bet all in for 90,000 from the button. Mike "Timex" McDonald called from the small blind, and then Argentina's Ivan Luca four-bet jammed for over 300,000. Kurganov folded and McDonald made the call.
McDonald:
Luca:
Jouhkimainen:
McDonald and Luca held the same hand, which bettered the odds for Jouhkimainen. The flop was safe for Jouhkimainen, as was the turn. All he needed to do to score the triple up was dodge an ace and king on the river, which is just what he did when the bricked.
We happened upon the action with 170,000 or so already in the pot on a board reading . John Juanda, who busted in the last level of the night on Day 1 and hopped back into action today, had moved all in for roughly 170,000, and former WCOOP champ Fedor Holz, who had 120,000 behind, hit the tank.
A solid five minutes passed before Holz called off, and he discovered his bested the of Juanda, who was left with just 47,000 after the hand.
In the next hand, Juanda moved all in under the gun, Holz called, and the rest of the players folded.
Holz:
Juanda:
Juanda went with the same hand, and this time it paid off as he scored the double after the board ran out .
Leonid Markin was seen exiting the stage. We later learned from Fedor Holz that he had been the one responsible. Holz told us he had raised under the gun to 14,000 with off suit. Leonid Markin had shoved for about 60,000 with off and Holz had called. The board came and last years champion made his exit.
Holz won a small pot after that where he called a button raise (14,000) from the big blind, check called a bet (14,000) on the flop and then bet out on the turn (22,000) and river (54,000) against button Byron Kaverman on a board of . Kaverman folded the river and Holz was seen stacking chips again. Holz, who presumably lost some chips in hands since our last update, is back up to around 400,000 now.
From the cutoff, Mustapha Kanit raised to 15,000 and Vladimir Troyanovskiy called from the big blind. The flop fell , and Troyanovskiy check-called a 13,000 continuation bet from his Italian opponent.
The dealer placed the on the turn, putting three clubs on the board. Troyanobskiy led for 25,000, which seemed to knock Kanit back a little. Kanit waited for 20-seconds or so before folding and leaving Troyanovskiy to win the pot.
Dominik Nitsche was one of the players who took advantage of being able to buy into the Super High Roller before Day 2 commenced, and so far it looks like a good decision by the young German because he's up to 370,000 chips.
Nitsche opened to 15,000 from the hijack and then called when Vladimir Troyanovskiy three-bet to 38,000 from the button. Nitsche quickly checked, then called when his opponent made it 33,000 to go on the flop. Nitsche checked the turn, and Troyanovskiy checked behind.
Both players then checked the river, with Nitsche winning the pot courtesy of his . Troyanovskiy mucked.

Byron Kaverman and Fedor Holz just clashed in an epic-staredown match that lasted well over eight minutes. The action started on Kaverman who raised to 14,000 from the cutoff and Fedor Holz three-bet from the small blind to 48,000.
The action was now back on Kaverman and he made the call, after which the board brought out .
Holz, who stared at Kaverman long and hard, ultimately bet 42,000, and Kaverman returned the favor before making the call.
On the turn the hit and Holz bet another 122,000, and Kaverman took his time before making the call. The river completed the board with the and both players checked.
Holz showed and mucked when Kaverman turned over .
Dzmitry Urbanovich opened to 15,000 from middle position, Mikita Badziakouski three-bet all-in for 113,000 and Thomas Muehloecker cold-called the shove. Urbanovich folded.
