Action folded to Muskan Sethi in the small blind and she didn't hesitate for one second before announcing all in for 11,400. Her neighbor, big blind Matthew Shafman, didn't need much time either, and beat her in the pot.
Sethi:
Shafman:
The flop helped Sethi grab the lead and she didn't relinquish it with the on the turn and on the river.
From middle position, Aaron Massey shoved all in for 9,100. Action folded to Oren Cohen on the button who thought about it for a bit before placing a tower of chips worth 20,000 in the middle. We're unsure if he announced all in or just isolated to 20,000 as action was fast after that. The small blind, Yang Zhang, snap-called all in for just a couple thousand, and the big blind folded instantly.
Zhang:
Massey:
Cohen:
The board ran out and both Zhang and Massey hit the rail. Cohen moved up to well over 100,000.
Joseph Caruso limped from early position and it folded to Chris Ferguson in the small blind who raised to 4,000. The big blind folded and Caruso called.
The flop was .
Ferguson bet another 4,000 and Caruso released his cards.
Ferguson has almost doubled the chips he began the day with and has notched up another WSOP cash.
Weiqi Liu had a decision to make. Four other players were all in already and he was making up his mind whether to join the party. He took a bit too long and the clock was called but eventually he called to make it a five-way all-in.
Daniel Stanley:
Kenneth Marker:
Alfie Adam:
Tony Hoang:
Weiqi Liu:
Everyone had their own sweat to cheer for. Hoang was convinced diamonds would come to his rescue while Adam had his bag slung over his shoulder but was still convinced he would get quad fours.
Liu had them all covered and having decided to call and seen the cards he was happy with his “king outs.”
When the pot was all sorted, the dealer put out the cards .
The river delivered that "king out" and Liu jumped out of his chair in delighted surprise before settling down. He had knocked out four players in one fell swoop and the entire pot was pushed his way.
There were 269 players seated at the start of Day 2 but, once four were lost and the bubble burst, there has been a steady stream of eliminations in the first two levels of the day.
