Blinds 500/1000, ante 100

Kev O"Hanlon tries to make it 1800 but is reminded that 2000 is the minimum and 2000 is he bet that stands.
Mark Lassman moves all in for around 24k. It folds to Kev who flicks his cards in and takes his 2k back...the dealer takes it back from him and Kev looks confused.
He hadn"t heard Mark go all in and thought he had won the had without contention...

[Luthee13]

Shirley Cole and Terry Evans manage to get it in pre flop...

Shirley, at risk, has
Terry has

They both think the first card over is an 8 for a moment! But the board comes

Nice double up for Shirley without too much damage to Terry.

[Luthee13]

It is JP Round"s turn, over on table 3, to give it a go with

He is called by Craig Dawson holding



JP also gets the double up.

[Luthee13]

Table 1 sees some action

Michael O"Mahoney raises from early position to 2.6k
Warren, in the small blind, makes the call.

They go to the flop heads up

Warren checks and Michael makes it 2.5k
Warren makes the call and the turn is

They both check.

The river is and Warren checks again.

Michael fires out for 4.2k
Warren resignedly flicks in a 5k chip to make the call and his resignation is justified as Michael says "flush" and shows

Warren mucks and Michael scoops that pot.

(Michael)

[Luthee13]

Table 3

JP makes a raise to 2.5k
Alan Ellis moves all in for around 25k

JP thinks for a considerable amount of time, weighing it up...and makes the call.

JP has Alan covered and has
Alan is ahead but at risk with

The first card over is and puts JP ahead...the second card is the putting Alan back ahead and looking like he"ll be staying that way

The board runs out

Alan gets the double up.

(Alan)

[Luthee13]

Table 3

Mark Lassman, short stacked, finds himself all in against Steve Roderick.

This means Mark is the first player out on day 2 in 27th place.

[Luthee13]

Table 2

Joining the hand with a flop of

David Harvey has moved all in with Anthony Napolitano and Ben Keely in the hand.
