WCOAP 2016 Updates Day 2 - #4 NLHE 3X, #5 Mix Max and #2 8-Game Day 2

[IrishTom]

Welcome back - to Day 2 of the WCOAP 2016.

Today we have myself, Lucy and John Murray in attendance.  John will concentrate on updating/blogging Day 2 of the 8-Game, where 7 players return for a 14:00 start as follows:

1  168k  Jen Yue Chiang
2  251k  Gianluca Farabella
3  349k  Ady Lovelock
4  219k  Alex Kiy
5  275k  Haresh Thaker
6  880k  Dai Llewellan
7  444k  Dann Williams

Preceding that we have the Holdem 3X Championship, £50 buyin with a 10k stack and 1 rebuy allowed within the first 7 levels, and 1 addon allowed which can only be taken at the end of Level 7 (both £50 for 10k).

Finally, kicking off at 15:00 we have the Mix Max, with a 15k stack on a 30 min clock.  The event will start at 9-max and when down to 36 players will re-draw to 6-max (stack c/f), and when 18 players remain it will re-start at Heads Up (seeded largest v smallest) and blinds start at what 6-max finished, with 10-min levels.  HU levels will freeze at whatever FIRST HU match finishes, and play to completion of all HU matches at that level - Final Table 9 players will start on NEXT Level after they froze. 

The calm before the storm...

Not long after and Alexandru Cadar pushes all in for around 3k.

He gets called in two places by Timotheos Timotheou and Martin Kalinov.

With the first three cards out -   - Timotheos bets out. Martin shows and says "if I had the I"d call" and folds.

Timotheos shows and Alexandru shows As

#4 NLHE 3X

Wow...events unfolding in the 3x, Aaron Jackson calls a raise pre flop from Chris Keyworth.

On a queen high flop, Chris pushes all in and Aaron calls.
Aaron has pocket aces and Chris has pocket queens for the set.
The turn is a brick card and the river is the fourth queen giving Chris quads and a double up and causing Aaron to re-buy.

A few hands later and we see a flop of
Jahsie Levy moves all in and Aaron Jackson calls. He instantly turns his cards and declares "top set" with his
Jahsie is in bad shape as he shows

The turn makes it more interesting with the ...Jahsie has Chris covered and needs the to make quads to take him out...

The river is the !!
Jahsie doubles up and Aaron is sent to the rail - very unlucky.

#4 NLHE 3X

I am informed that Vincent Anderson is currently on around 40k with player average at 15k following a none believer - Vinnie shoved all in for around 18k into a pot of around 6k with aces. The donation came from a player who stated "you only do that with aces" but called with pocket 8"s anyway, only to find his statement was right.

Vinnie going well.

[Luthee13]

#4 NLHE 3X

With blinds at 100/200 with a 25 ante, Vincent Anderson (Vinnie) raises to 800 from under the gun.

It folds round to Laurenti Radules in the small blind, he makes the call, as does James Swift.

The flop comes

Laurenti checks, James checks behind. Vinnie makes it 1100 to go.
Laurenti calls.
James pushes all in for around 7k.
Vinnis instantly folds on the draw and Laurenti sighs, and folds. James takes the pot.

#2  8-Game Players Championship

And we"re off in the final of the 8-Game. This is the one that all the advanced players want to win. Three of APAT's regular mixed-game players have made the final table in 1st, 2nd and 3rd places.

#2  8-Game Players Championship

2-7 Triple Draw

Dann raises the first two hands and gets both through.

Then Ady raises, meets some resistance from Dai, but forces a fold after the second draw and adds some chips to his stack.

This is quickly followed by Alex getting all-in after the second draw and being called by Dai. Dai shows for the nut low and Alex gets ready to leave. He shows   and still has a draw to try to make a miracle chop. His first card is   and the sweat is on. He needs a 3, but Dai has one of them so there are three outs. His other card is , which doesn"t help.

Alex Kiy has been eliminated in 7th place and wins £220, while Dai extends his lead at the top.

As Dai is stacking the chips, Haresh turns up. I guess he wanted to make sure he wasn"t first out.

7th place Alex Kly...

#2  8-Game Players Championship

Omaha Hi-Lo

We"ve been having a few hands with a bunch of chips finding their way into the middle, but the pots largely ending up being chopped, so no major chip movements.

And there goes another one. Dann takes the High, Ady takes the Low. Take your chips back guys.
