Negreanu No More

Nível 5 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Daniel Negreanu Has Been Felted Here in Round 2

Phahurat Advances; Jaka Out

Nível 4 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

The board read when we came upon Faraz Jaka and AP Phahurat staring down at the felt. Jaka had bet 12,000 into a pot of about 18,000 and Phahurat replied by moving all in. Jaka had no lammers behind and about 20,000 sitting in his stack so this was a bet for his tournament life.

Jaka mulled over the decision for quite some time with Phahurat saying he'll show him one if Jaka folded his hand face up. Eventually, though, Jaka decided to call. Phahurat showed for top two pair. Jaka mucked his cards and Phahurat became the next player to advance to the third round of play.

Joe Cada is Trailing Early in Round 2 Action

We saw 2009 WSOP Main Event winner Joe Cada shaking his head while shipping a few stacks across the table.

Apparently Cada had connected with his after the board came , but his opponent's and a full house was too much for top pair to handle.
