Jour 2 terminé
4 joueurs se sont présentés avant l'entame du Jour 2 du PokerStars Championship Panama pour porter l'affluence du tournoi à 366 participants. Martin Jacobson, Ambrose Ng, Erik Seidel et Bryn Kenney ont tenté leur chance, il y avait donc 175 joueurs présents sur la ligne de départ du Jour 2 qui s'est déroulé dans la nuit de jeudi à vendredi.
Adrien Allain (118 000) et Alexandre Viard (70 000) sont les deux seuls tricolores à avoir franchi l'obstacle. Benjamin Pollak n'a pas survécu à la deuxième journée de compétition alors qu'il reste 79 rescapés pour 71 places payées. Les 366 participants ont généré un prizepool de 1 775 100$, le plus important de l'histoire du poker panaméen mais un prizepool bien éloigné des standards des dernières étapes de l'European Poker Tour...
La moitié des rescapés du Jour 1 a donc sombré lors du Jour 2, la bulle va arriver très rapidement lors du Jour 3 et c'est l'Ukrainien Igor Yaroshevskyy qui est dans la meilleure position avec un tapis de 745 500 jetons. Il devance le Russe Denis Timofeev. Déjà deuxième du chipcount à l'issue du Jour 1B, l'Américain Caufman Talley continue à se régaler avec 546 000 jetons à l'issue du Jour 2.
L'ancienne gloire de l'UFC Tito Ortiz est en 4e position au classement provisoire mais avec "seulement" 270 500 jetons.
8 joueurs du Jour 3 repartiront les mains vides alors que les autres encaisseront au minimum 7 720$ pour le min-cash. Conséquence d'une affluence timide pour un tournoi PokerStars, le vainqueur empochera lui 293 860$, lundi.
Le Top 5 avant le Jour 3
Position | Joueur | Pays | Chipcount |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Igor Yaroshevskyy | Ukraine | 745,500 |
2 | Denis Timofeev | Russia | 569,000 |
3 | Caufman Talley | United States | 546,000 |
4 | Tito Ortiz | United States | 270,500 |
5 | Vincent Allevato | Canada | 256,500 |
Déjà bien en place au chipcount, Yaroshevskyy a commencé sa journée par 5-bet call avec ... pour trouver un adversaire capable de 6-bet all-in pour 130 000 jetons. Avec moins de 5000 jetons à la reprise, Jaime Staples a tenu plus longtemps que Vicente "6-bet all-in" Delgado et doublé une première fois, avant de se fracasser avec un mauvais As dans les Dames. Son adversaire a fait carré au flop pour mettre fin au suspense...
Les vainqueurs du Main Event WSOP Martin Jacobson et Ryan Riess se sont aussi inclinés lors du Jour 2. Seidel et Kenney n'ont pas rentabilisé leur inscription tardive non plus alors que Tito Ortiz aura lui 90 blindes au Jour 3, pas mal pour un passionné...
Les Canadiens Samuel Gagnon (88 000), Daniel Dvoress, Mark Radoja (177 000), Erik Cajelais (129 000) et Jiachen Gong, les Américains Ari Engel (58 000), Byron Kaverman (88 000), Jason Wheeler (213 000) ou les Belges Davidi Kitai (20 000) et Jonathan Abdellatif (62 000) sont encore là tout comme Jason Koon (25 000), Pablo Gordillo (254 000), Steve O'Dwyer (184 000), Martin Finger (92 000) et JC Alvarado (103 000)

The tournament staff just announced that the remaining field will play three more hands before bagging and tagging on Day 2, which means the money bubble will have to wait until tomorrow.
Stay tuned for any last-minute hands, a full recap of the Day 2 action, and a list of survivors complete with chip counts.
Jason Wheeler explains a hand where he eliminated a player, even though he did play the hand optimally.
After Karim Zerzour limped from the hijack, Davidi Kitai, who has been nursing an extreme short stack for awhile, moved all in for 6,500 from the button. Venezuela's Luis Perez then three-bet to 14,500 from the small blind and Zerzour folded.
"You're ahead," Perez said.
"No," Kitai said with little confidence, though as it turned out he was wrong.
Kitai:
Perez:
Kitai was in fact out in front, and he hit the flop hard by making a flush. Perez was drawing to a chop, which would require two running diamonds bigger than those in Kitai's hand.
The turn took away any chance of that happening and Kitai more than double after the was put out on the river. Kitai then gave Perez a little fist bump as a way of thanking him for the preflop protection.
Meanwhile, Andrew Chen was eliminated from the featured table.

A big pot was brewing in the middle of the tournament room with about 30,000 in the pot already.
On a board reading , Adrien Allain checked from the cutoff and Denis Timofeev bet 14,000. Allain called.
The turn was the and both players checked to the river, which was the .
Allain led out for 30,000 and Timofeev immediately looked at Allain's stack. After about a minute of deliberation, Timofeev raised to 80,000.
Allan looked uncomfortable and began cutting his chips down. He looked as though he was in agony, but eventually folded, sending the massive pot over to Timofeev, putting him over the 500,000 chip mark.

We found Steve O'Dwyer facing a bet of 4,500 from an opponent in middle position on a flop. O'Dwyer, who had the button, called. He called another barrel of 8,500 on the turn, and a finished out the community. O'Dwyer had the option when checked to, and he fired in 20,000. His opponent thought about a minute and called, and O'Dwyer showed for winning trips.

Jose Moran Guzman defended his big blind from an under-the-gun raise by Eduards Kudrjavcevs, and they got to a turn with the board reading after unknown flop action. Guzman checked and called 12,400 into about 20,000, and the river was a . Guzman checked a final time, and Kudrjavcevs put him all in.
"Tough decision," Guzman said after some time, looking at his last 85,000 or so. Finally, he let it go.

Byron Kaverman raised to 5,500 from under the gun and Martin Finger called from the cutoff, as did the big blind.
The flop came and the big blind checked. Kaverman bet 7,300 and the action moved to Finger. After about a minute, Finger raised to 20,500. The big blind got out of the way and Kaverman thought for a while before deciding to call.
The turn was the . Kaverman quickly checked, and Finger moved all in for his remaining 40,000.
Kaverman looked displeased and flung his cards into the muck, sending the pot Finger's way.

Jairo Escobar got his last 30,000 or so in before the flop with up against the of Alberto Fonseca Masis. Escobar would not hit, but did end up receiving all the chips in the middle.
The board ran out and with quads on board, Escobar's queen kicker played. Fonseca Masis played the board and had to leave the pot to his opponent.
"I folded a deuce!" Jason Koon said jokingly.
