HomePeter Janghwan Kiem has quickly doubled up here at the Main Event after railing Hope Anthony Joseph just 20 minutes into the tournament. Catching the action at the flop of Q♦ Q♣ 7♣, and a raised pot pre flop, Joseph check-called Kiem’s bet of 1250 to see the turn card land 10♠. Again Joseph checked to Kiem who sent out 2300 worth of chips, and Joseph smooth-called once more. Then on the river of 7♥, Joseph checked again, Kiem bet 7000 but instead of his usual call, Joseph raised all-in and Kiem snap called. Kiem won the hand with his 7♠ 7♦ quads against Joseph’s Q♠ 10♣ full house.

On a flop of J♦ 4♣ 4♦, Yoichi Uesugi shoved about 27,000 but found the bad news when Ha Duong snap-called with pocket jacks. Turn 4♠ and river 7♥ completed the board and the Japanese’s stack gets crippled hands away from Day 2. Duong climbed to around 55,000 while Uesugi dropped to below 17,000.
Roger Spets led out with 1,100 pre-flop and Eemil Tuominen called. Tetsuya Tsuchikawa re-raised to 3,500 and Lester Edoc made it 8,500. Spets and Tuominen both folded but Tet made the call.
Flop: 5♥ A♠ 6♣
Edoc check-called Tet’s bet of 5,500 to bring the turn 2♥.
On the river J♠, Edoc checked again while Tet bet a bigger 10,500… Edoc was forced to go into the tank before making the fold. Tet showed the Big Slick and he climbs to over 70,000.
With a pot worth around 10,000 and a board already showing 8♦ 2♥ 6♥ 10♦, Sam Razavi shoved his stack around 17,000. His only opponent in the hand, Ferenc Riech quickly got away from his hand to hand Razavi the nice pot.
Yoichi Uesugi opened pre-flop with 1,200 but saw Jason Powers make it 3,200. Randy Boone thought both bets were too low and put in 6,200 total! Uesugi folded but Powers made the call.
Flop: 2♣ 5♣ Q♠
Powers checked and saw Boone fire another 10,000. Powers considered his options before folding and showing A♦ K♥.
Boone returned the favor and showed A♥ Q♥ and he now has around 48,000.
Four limpers got to see the flop 4♥ 10♦ 10♣ and all four checked to bring the turn 8♥. John King initiated the betting with 600 and saw calls from the cut-off player, Hajime Mogi and the small blind.
On the river K♠, King led again this time with 1,100. Mogi called and the SB player folded.
King had the Big Slick for two pairs but Mogi showed 10♠ J♣ for the trips.
On a raised pot of a flop of 6♣ 4♦ 9♠, Kenneth Khoo led out with 3,200 but saw Minh Nguyen raise it to 8,100. Khoo, the chip leader so far today, did not want to indulge and folded his hand.
