Event 3: Bubble Time

$560 No Limit Hold’em Deep Stack (Re-Entry)
Blinds: 3k/6k/500 ante

It was a quick end for Haim Toorgeman, even after his big double up hand with Quads. He lost a few pots after the redraw and found himself all-in for 70,500 after the Jd6h4c flop. Trey Hamel considered his options and finally called after saying he liked the flop.

Hamel was wrong when he saw his KcJc was in trouble against AdJh but didn’t have to wait long when the dealer dropped the Ks on the turn. No love on the 8d river and Toorgeman was gone in 18th.

Daniel Pearlman, Matthew Mendez, Alfonso Perez, and Igor Skochilo quickly followed Toorgeman out the door to put the tournament on the money bubble.

Event 3: Two Tables

$560 No Limit Hold’em Deep Stack (Re-Entry)
Blinds: 3k/6k/500 ante

Haim Toorgeman and Alfonso Perez got involved in a hand that played itself. Toorgeman was all-in and in trouble with QcQh against Perez and AsAc.

Toorgeman was happy to see the KsQs9c flop and sat back down in his seat. Perez needed an Ace for the knockout but instead saw Toorgeman hit the overkill Quad Qd to move over 160,000.

While that was going on at Table 3, Alex Bolotin was sent out at Table 6.

Gregory Marcus was sitting comfortably until he doubled up Richard Leger when his 7d7h couldn’t out race As8s. He was gone shortly afterwards along with Ross Fischer and Yuan Shen to get the field down to 18.

Tournament staff are redrawing seats with 12 of them making the money.

Event 3: Color Break

$560 No Limit Hold’em Deep Stack (Re-Entry)
Blinds: 2k/4k/400 ante

Player are on a short 10-minute break as staff race off the black chips with 22 players remaining. Steve Miller was the last to drop out but Michael Goldfarb is moving in the other direction.

He was all-in for 68,000 with Qx3x and Harold Darnold called behind with the better AxKx. They both his the KhQc7d flop and Goldfard called for the trey. He got it with the 3h turn and Darnold responded with “how about an Ace-ball, since we’re calling out cards.”

The river was a blank to get Goldfarb back in the game.

Event 3: Last Three Tables

$560 No Limit Hold’em Deep Stack (Re-Entry)
Blinds: 1.5k/3k/300 ante

Louis Leo made the final table of Event 1 but came back to this Day 2 with a short stack. He took a shot on one of the early hands to get back in the game.

He opened shoved with 8c8h and made it past chip lead Larry Klur in the small blinda before getting looked up by David Felger in the big blind with TcTh.

Leo needed help but it was Felger hitting the JcTs3s flop and he was drawing dead on the 5s turn to drop out in 28th place.

Tournament staff immediately broke a table to get down to the last three right as Jonah Miller was going out on Table 4.
