Lococo Doubles Again
Niveau 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Not long after his previous double-up Alejandro Lococo called an all in from cutoff Barak Wisbrod, who covered him by 70,000 chips.
Alejandro Lococo: K♣Q♦
Barak Wisbrod: Q♥J♥
Lococo had the dominating hand and solidified that position when he flopped two pair on Q♣8♠K♦. The J♦ turn brought a tiny sweat as Wisbrod could now hit a full house if a jack appeared on the river.
It did not, however, as the 3♣ completed the board. Another double-up was in the books for the PokerStars Ambassador, as he is slowly climbing back to an average stack.

Orpen Kisacikoglu: 10♦10♥
Steve O'Dwyer: K♥K♣
Kisacikoglu was in need of help against the cowboys for O'Dwyer, and when the board ran out 8♦7♠7♣4♥A♠, it was the kings that held up to send Kisacikoglu out in 28th place.

Lewis Eliminated as Big Stack Badziakouski Finds Aces
Niveau 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Mikita Badziakouski open-raised from the hijack before Romain Lewis shipped his final 115,000 chips in from the button. The action folded back to Badziakouski and he made a snap call.
Romain Lewis: K♦Q♠
Mikita Badziakouski: A♣A♠
Lewis had one foot out the door, but hit some hope on the 10♣8♦Q♥ board. The 4♠ turn was a big brick, however, as was the 6♣ river. Lewis took home the mincash while Badziakouski added another stack to his pyramid of chips.

Daniel Dvoress minopened the action from the cutoff to 24,000 chips. It folded to Adrian Mateos in the big blind, who put in a stack of T-25,000 chips to put Dvoress all-in. Dvoress went through two time extensions before he unsurely made the call.
Daniel Dvoress: A♥10♣
Adrian Mateos: 9♥9♠

Hirs Hits The Rail In Brutal Beat
Niveau 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
The action folded to Aliaksandr Hirs in the small blind who moved all in for close to 150,000 and was snap-called by the bigger stack of Markkos Ladev in the big blind.
Aliaksandr Hirs: K♥J♠
Markkos Ladev: A♥J♦
Hirs was in rough shape preflop against the better kicker for Ladev, but when the flop came K♣K♦Q♦, the tables turned on the hand with Hirs well in the lead. The turn came the 9♦ which was still safe, however, the river fell the 10♥ to give Ladev a straight and send Hirs out in 25th place.

Masashi Oya Eliminated in 24th Place (€50,150)
Niveau 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ben Heath limped his button and Masashi Oya went all-in for his last two big blinds. Daniel Dvoress was in the big blind and made the call, as did Heath.
The flop of K♠7♦4♠ checked through, as did the 5♦ turn. On the 10♠ river, Dvoress finally fired a bet and garnered a fold from Heath. Oya and Dvvoress then showed down.
Masashi Oya: A♥K♣
Daniel Dvoress: K♥7♣
Top pair for Oya, but it was no match against the flopped two pair of Dvoress. Oya was the final Japanese player to leave the tournament, and the only one to cash. He can proudly take back €50,150 to his home country.

Patrik Antonius Eliminated in 23rd Place (€57,600)
Niveau 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Patrik Antonius raised to 24,000 from middle position and received a call from Markkos Ladev in the small blind. The pair saw a flop of 3♥9♦J♣, which they both checked.
The turn then fell the A♦ and Antonius now bet 25,000 after another check from Ladev. Ladev made the call and the 7♦ river was dealt.
Ladev checked for the third time and after a while Antonius decided to put his roughly 100,000 remaining chips at stake. He put them all in the middle and instantly got called by Ladev.
Antonius sighed, stood up and showed A♣10♣ for top pair. He felt it was no good and was correct, as his opponent had slowplayed his pocket aces and was sitting on top set with A♠A♥ in his hand.
The Finnish poker legend took his leave and was the first to make the payjump to €57,600.

Niveau 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
The action folded around to Barak Wisbrod in the small blind who moved all in for 60,000 and was called by the bigger stack of Dominik Nitsche in the big blind.
Barak Wisbrod: 10♣2♠
Dominik Nitsche: 8♦7♦
The ten-deuce was slightly in the lead preflop, but when the board ran out A♥Q♦7♥8♥10♥, it was the two pair for Nitsche that scored the pot to send Wisbrod to the exit in 22nd place.

Ketzer Catches a Double in the Final Minutes of Day 2
Niveau 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
As the clock winded down to the final five minutes of the day, Dominik Nitsche raised to 25,000 from the cutoff. Felipe Ketzer was in the small blind and made the three-bet to 90,000 before Nitsche four-bet shoved with the covering stack. Ketzer snap called and the players shared the final preflop showdown of the day.
Felipe Ketzer: A♦K♠
Dominik Nitsche: K♥J♥
Ketzer was in a great spot to score a big double-up in the nick of time. He flopped two pair on 4♠A♠4♣ and Nitsche was nearly drawing dead. The 8♥ decided the pot in Ketzer's favor, and he let out a few ''Vamos!'' as the meaningless 7♥ river completed the board.
With that, Day 2 has come to a close. Stay tuned for full chip counts and a recap of this action-packed day.
