The tournament has just lost our first casualty. It was the well known Peter Jetten. We did not see the hand that did him in but he will be the first to go this afternoon and perhaps we will see him again in the 4-max event going on right now in the Brasilia Room.
One of the toughest tables in the field today is that of Aaron Jones, Kevin Vandersmissen, Jessie Sylvia, Maxim Lykov, Amanda Musumeci, and Daniel Dipasquale. Coincidentally Aaron Jones was just telling some of his tablemates a story about how one year when he was playing the Main Event players were stalling in order to get table breaks for easier table draws. Unfortunately, there will be no stalling in today's event as everyone will remain at the same table the entire day.
While the story telling was going on Maxim Lykov was involved in a hand with Steve Hohn. With the board reading , Lykov checked to Hohn. Hohn bet out 4,000 which Lykov called.
On the river, Lykov checked again. Hohn counted out a bet of 10,000 and placed it in front of him. Lykov thought about it for a while, but decided to fold, giving the pot to Hohn. Fortunately for Lykov he is still above where he started on the day with more than 50,000 chips.
We didn't catch the exact action, but we did see that Andrew Teng had in front of him, and the dealers was counting out his chips for a double up through Robert Cheung with the board reading . Cheung must have picked up some chips before that hand, as he still has 28,000.
The tournament supervisor came up to Thiago Nishijima's table to talk to him. Apparently Nishijima was registered in the four-max tournament over in Brasilia. They had been blinding him off over there and they were about to pick up his chips. Nishijima realizing the fact that it would be virtually impossible to run back and forth from both tournaments, especially a four-max tournament, asked the supervisor if he can get a refund from the four max event.
The Supervisor informed Nishijima that he could unregister from the four-max but he could only do it one time this series. Nishijima obliged and his $2500 from the four-max will be sitting in the cage for him to pick up whenever he chooses.
Gavin Smith also at the table not quite sure why Nishijima registered early for the four-max gave Nishijima a needle by saying, "So you don't expect to win a lot?"
Smith was referring to the fact that Nishijima was probably expecting to lose from yesterday's Day 1 of this event. Smith also made the point to Nishijima,"You know you can register the day of the tournament." This got a laugh out of Nishijima.
Nishijima doing fine in this event won't be registering in anything else for the day as he plans on taking this title down.
We found Allen Kessler in position against Nacho Barbero in a heads-up pot on the end. The board read , and a considerable pot had already been built up. Barbero checked, and Kessler fired 10,000. After thinking for awhile, Barbero splashed a stack of yellow chips in to call.
"You got it," Kessler said, tossing into the middle. Barbero turned over for just a pair of fives.
