Neil Blumenfield

Shortly before the first break, Neil Blumenfield found himself in a good spot to add chips. He had an opponent all in and at risk and almost had Andre Bryan come along as well.

“I bet too much,” Blumenfield said to Bryan.

Blumenfield: AsAh
Opponent: KdJd

The Jc6d2h flop gave Blumenfield a little sweat but the board finished 6c and 5s to send him more chips.

Neil Blumenfield – 445,000 (89 bb)

Event 3: Ricardo Eyzaguirre Over One Million

Ricardo Eyzaguirre

Ricardo Eyzaguirre began Day 2 with the third biggest stack of the day but quickly put himself at the top of the counts. His day started with 516,000 but he’s now the first over one million, now stacked up to 1,100,000.

The hour-long levels and deep stacks mean action is slow at the start, a patient parade toward the money bubble. It’s unlikely they’ll be in the money before the first break but it should be long after that.

John Gorsuch

Eric Piderit was all in for 27,000 and picked up one caller before John Gorsuch moved all in over the top. The first caller dropped and they were heads up with Piderit at risk.

Gorsuch: QsQc
Piderit: 3s3h

Piderit needed a lot of help and stood up before the dealer began putting out the board. The AsJh7d flop was no help and he was drawing dead when Gorsuch made a set on the Qh turn.

John Gorsuch – 223,000 (56 bb)
Eric Piderit – Eliminated

Eric might be gone but his son Caleb is doing fine. He max-late registered last night, came back to his 40,000 stack and is already up to 110,000 after 30 minutes.
