It’s been a fast-paced 15 minutes so far for day two of the high roller event. Just after the players settled down we lost Jean-Noel Thorel going out holding K♣ 10♣ having missed on a J♦ A♣ 9♣ A♠ A♥ board – slightly behind Lev Myrmsky’s quads holding A♦ 3♦ .

Also busted are Shaun Deeb and Kirill Rabcov, Rabcov had raised to 5,000 from early position and Juha Helppi flat-called. Deeb pushed with 8♥ 8♦ and Rabcov moved in behind with A♣ Q♣ but Helppi quickly came in too, given that he was holding A♠ A♥ which won out on the 7♣ 3♠ Q♠ 2♠ J♠ board. Andy Bloch has also been eliminated running jacks into kings.

Alexander Kuzmin has doubled up against Eric Haik with A♥ K♦ against A♣ 5♣ . Kuzmin was the shortest stack coming back today and pushed from the cutoff while Haik was a non-believer in the big blind. Both players hit two pair, but Kuzmin’s was best and has doubled up to about 45,000.
