Arnold Dinio
Live! Poker Room tournament regular Arnold Dinio definitely had the biggest rail at this final table, as handfuls of people were stopping and wishing him good luck.  After Wesley Wyvill opened the pot from the button, Joshua Gordon would continue applying pressure and shove all-in.  Arnold Dinio began to think about his hand, and after taking a few moments threw in a handful of chips, signifying a call:

Dinio: A♠ Q♣        Gordon: Q J♠

Flop: 7♣ 8 10

Turn: J

River: 4♠

Arnold ran into the buzz saw that is currently Joshua Gordon, and he would be eliminated in fourth place.

Event 1 (Day 2): Blinds Going Up/Updated Chip Counts

Level 30 (Blinds 40,000/80,000/10,000)
Total Entries: 560
Players Remaining: 4
Chip Avergae: 2,100,000

The blinds continue to increase, with players now posting 40,000/80,000/100 in Level 30.  The chip average of 2,100,000 is now just around 26 big blinds.  Here are the updated counts of those remaining:

  1. Joshua Gordon - 4,900,000
  2. Arnold Dinio - 950,000
  3. Corey Kennel - 1,200,000
  4. Wesley Wyvill - 1,300,000

Event 1 (Day 2): 5th Place - Narasimha ($6,774)

Level 29 (Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000)
Total Entries: 560
Players Remaining: 4
Chip Avergae: 2,100,000

Lakshmi Narasimha
Lakshmi Narasimha was the shortest stack, and had only four big blinds in front of him.  The action would fold to him in the small blind and he would push, getting called by Arnold Dinio in the big blind:

Lakshmi: Q♣ J♠         Dinio: K♠ 5♠

Flop: 4♣ 2 K

Turn: 6

River: 3

Narasimha was another player who seemingly stayed under the radar, managing an average/below average stack the entire day.  He was able to double through Rudy Tjin last level, and jumped three pay spots before falling to Dinio.

Event 1 (Day 2): 6th Place - Marinovich ($5,433)

Level 29 (Blinds 30,000/60,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 560
Players Remaining: 5
Chip Average: 1,680,000

With action folding to Charles Welch, he would open shove for just under 500,000.  Doug Marinovich would be next to act, and he would shove as well (700,000).  The two seemed to be set for a heads up clash until Joshua Gordon made the call as well, putting both players at risk:

Welch: K K      Marinovich: K♠ K♣        Gordon: 9♣ 9♠

Flop: 6 A 9

Turn: 8

River: 10♣

Both players flipped up the pocket kings, and Josh just looked down saying, "I'm gonna win this one guys...sorry."  The nine was right in the window and both players were left to walk with the tournament supervisor to get paid.

Event 1 (Day 2): 7th Place - Welch ($4,163)

Level 29 (Blinds 30,000/60,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 560
Players Remaining: 5
Chip Average: 1,680,000

Charles Welch
With action folding to Charles Welch, he would open shove for just under 500,000.  Doug Marinovich would be next to act, and he would shove as well (700,000).  The two seemed to be set for a heads up clash until Joshua Gordon made the call as well, putting both players at risk:

Welch: K K      Marinovich: K♠ K♣        Gordon: 9♣ 9♠

Flop: 6 A 9

Turn: 8

River: 10♣

Both players flipped up the pocket kings, and Josh just looked down saying, "I'm gonna win this one guys...sorry."  The nine was right in the window and both players were left to walk with the tournament supervisor to get paid.

Event 1 (Day 2): 8th Place - Tjin ($2,964)

Level 29 (Blinds 30,000/60,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 560
Players Remaining: 7
Chip Average: 1,200,000

Rudy Tjin
Rudy Tjin would actually double after losing that crucial pot to Corey Kennel, but he would then send a double to Lakshmi Narasimha (the only player shorter than him).  Tjin would this time be left with less than a big blind, and would be eliminated a few hands later.

Event 1 (Day 2): Blinds Increasing/Updated Chip Counts

Level 29 (Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000)
Total Entries: 560
Players Remaining: 8
Chip Average: 1,050,000

As the blinds shift, here is a look at the updated chip counts:

  1. Charles Welch - 650,000
  2. Rudy Tjin - 350,000
  3. Doug Marinovich - 600,000
  4. Joshua Gordon - 3,100,000
  5. Lakshmi Narasimha - 305,000
  6. Arnold Dinio - 1,300,000
  7. Corey Kennel - 800,000
  8. Wesley Wyvill - 1,100,000

Event 1 (Day 2): Tjin Left With Peanuts

Level 28 (Blinds 25,000/50,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 560
Players Remaining: 8
Chip Average: 1,050,000

Corey Kennel open shoved for 365,000 from middle position, and the action would fold to Rudy Tjin on the button.  After asking for a count, Rudy would re-shove for 505,000, drawing some thought from Josh Gordon in the big blind.  Gordon would eventually fold and it would be the A Q of Kennel against the Q Q of Tjin.  The flop of A A 4 would leave Tjin drawing dead, and while Kennel would chip up to 760,000,  Tjin would be left with two big blinds (100,000).

Event 1 (Day 2): Gordon Keeps Rolling

Level 28 (Blinds 25,000/50,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 560
Players Remaining: 8
Chip Average: 1,050,000

Josh Gordon would open the pot for 100,000 and get called by Lakshmi Narasimha and Doug Marinovich (big blind).  The flop would come out A J K and both players would check to Lakshmi, who would bet out 200,000.  Gordon would make the call, and he would check once more after the 8 not he turn.  Lakshmi would this time bet 250,000, to which Gordon would call once again.  After the 10 on the river, Gordon would step into action and bet enough to put Narasimha all-in.  Lakshmi would fold and Joshua would increase his chip lead.

Josh Gordon - 3,100,000
Lakshmi Marasimha - 400,000

Event 1 (Day 2): Back In Action

Level 28 (Blinds 25,000/50,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 560
Players Remaining: 8
Chip Average: 1,050,000

Players are back in their seats and the cards are in the air.  The action for the first ten minutes has been pretty slow, with a lot of raise and take it.  Wesley Wyvill was just all-in for just under 1,000,000, but the shove got through after a tank from Rudy Tjin.  Rudy said aloud that he folded pocket tens, and Wyvill showed the 10 as the cards went into the muck.

Event 1 (Day 2): Break Time/Updated Counts

Players are currently on a (15) minute break and will be returning to Level 28 and blinds of 25,000/50,000/5,000.  The chip average sits at 1,050,000 at the moment, so players at that mark are sitting with just over 20 big blinds.  Here are the updated final table chip counts:

  1. Charles Welch - 800,000
  2. Rudy Tjin - 650,000
  3. Doug Marinovich - 875,000
  4. Joshua Gordon - 2,550,000
  5. Lakshmi Narasimha - 725,000
  6. Arnold Dinio - 1,300,000
  7. Corey Kennel - 1,100,000
  8. Wesley Wyvill - 475,000

Event 1 (Day 2): 9th Place - Domyslawski ($2,117)

Level 27 (Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 560
Players Remaining: 8
Chip Average: 1,050,000

Joe Domyslawski
Joe Domyslawski was coasting, and had over 1,000,000 to start his final hand with Joshua Gordon.  The action leading up to the flop has not been verified, but Joe could be heard announcing all-in on a flop of 7 4♠ 2.  Gordon would verbalize a call, with the winner of this hand scooping up over 2,000,000:

Domyslawski: 8♣ 8♥       Gordon: Q♠ Q

Turn: A♣

River: K♠

Joe went with his over pair to the board on the flop, but Gordon had him crushed.  Domyslawski would need go runner straight or hit one of the two eights left in the deck.  The turn and river would be no help and the table would sit quiet, almost in shock as Joe collected his things and walked away.

Event 1 (Day 2): 10th Place - Sentz ($1,623)

Level 27 (Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 560
Players Remaining: 9
Chip Average: 933,000

Ryan Sentz
One the second hand of final table play, Ryan Sentz would be under the gun and announce, "All in...475,000."  The action would fold around to Doug Marinovich in late position, and he would announce himself all-in as well (having Sentz covered).  The action would fold around and the hands would be tabled:

Marinovich: K K♠        Sentz: A♣ J

Flop: 8 34

Turn: 4♣

River: J♣

Sentz would make a pair on the river, but it wouldn't be enough to continue on at the final table.  Sentz would be the first to depart from the final table, collecting $1,623.

Total Entries: 560
Players Remaining: 10
Chip Average: 840,000

An Hwang
Everyone at Table 38 was standing, and it was clear something big was going on.  There was a three-way all-in between An Hwang, Doug Marinovich, and Corey Kennel.  Doug had both players covered, but he held the same hand as Kennel.  Hwang was holding 10♣ 10♠ against the A K of both Marinovich and Kennel.

The table would be in a roar as the flop came out A♠ A♣ 3, leaving Hwang asking for a ten.  It was not to be, and the two players would chop up the short stack of An Hwang.  The players are now consolidating to the unofficial final table, and taking a five minute break.  The final table seating chart with chip counts will be posted shortly.

David Roinnel would take the vacant seat that Carmelo Alfonso just left, and it would take one hand for Roinnel to get involved.  After an open from Joshua Gordon in the cutoff, Roinnel shoved his short stack, and once the action folded around was called by Joshua:

Roinnel: 7 8         Gordon: 10♠ 10♣

Flop: Q♠ Q 3

Turn: A

River: 2♠

Roinnel needed some help in order to come from behind for his tournament life, but he would be drawing dead on the turn.  He would collect $1,623 for his 12th place finish.  The field is now one more elimination from the "unofficial" final table of ten.


Event 1 (Day 2): 13th Place - Alfonso ($1,270)

Level 26 (Blinds 15,000/30,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 560
Players Remaining: 12
Chip Average: 730,000

Carmelo Alfonso
Action at Table 39 would fold around to Carmelo Alfonso on the button, and he would shove for 210,000.  Joe Domyslawski was in the small blind, and he would look down at his cards and re-shove  (having Welch covered in the big blind).  Welch would fold and the hands would be tabled:

Alfonso: 10 10        Domyslawski: K K

Flop: J 2 8♣

Turn: 5♣

River: A

Alfonso was short my a good portion of the day, but he was able to grind a below average stack to 13th place and a payday of $1,270.

Event 1 (Day 2): Updated Chip Counts

Level 26 (Blinds 15,000/30,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 560
Players Remaining: 13
Chip Average: 646,000

Here are the updated chip counts as Level 26 started:

Table 38:

  1. David Roinnel - 610,000
  2. Arnold Dinio - 620,000
  3. An Hwang - 700,0000
  4. Douglas Marinovich - 630,000
  5. Corey Kennel - 360,000
  6. Lakshmi Narasimha - 305,000
  7. Wesley Wyvill - 550,000
Table 39:
  1. Joseph Domyslawski - 1,650,000
  2. Charles Welch - 675,000
  3. Rudy Tjin - 470,000
  4. Ryan Sentz -690,000
  5. Joshua Gordon - 510,000
  6. Carmilo Alfonso - 380,000

Event 1 (Day 2): 14th Place - Kang ($1,270)

Level 25 (Blinds 12,000/24,000/3,000)
Total Entries: 560
Players Remaining: 13
Chip Average: 646,000

Steven Kang
As updated chip counts were being collected, there would be and all-in and call over at Table 39.  Steven Kang was at risk, with Joe Domyslawski making the call for 370,000:

Kang: A 8♣
Domyslawski: A♠ Q♠

The dealer would fan out the flop of 2♣ J10, not exactly what Kang would need to come from behind.  The 5 on the turn would change nothing, leaving Kang looking for one of the three remaining eights in the deck.  The dealer would place the 4 on the river, and Steven would be eliminated short of the final table in 14th place ($1,270).

With that pot Domyslawski would chip back up to 1,650,000.

Event 1 (Day 2): Kang Eliminates Glasgow

Level 25 (Blinds 12,000/24,000/3,000)
Total Entries: 560
Players Remaining: 14
Chip Average: 578,000

After Steven Kang opened the button to 48,000, Adam Glasgow pushed his remaining chips across his cards (~180,000).  Kang would place chips across the line signifying a call, and the two players would table their hands:

Glasgow: A 9♣         Kang: 10♣ 10

Flop: 5 J 2♣

Turn: K

River: 7♣

Glasgow seemed to have a bad feeling right from the start, as he began to collect his things as the dealer started running out the board.  He'd be resigned to three outs going to the river, and after the 7♣ hit the felt, he'd be eliminated in 15th place ($1,270).
