ME: Day 2A

After an all-day break yesterday, we are back to action! I doubt anyone is not familiar with this tournament format, but I'll briefly explain anyway. There were 4 day ones. There are two day twos. Day 1a and 1b combined and made day 2A, and day 1C and 1D combined and made day 2b. After that, everyone alive get together on day3.

Due to the massive amount of players in Day 1C and 1D, Day 2a had less than Half of day 2b, (1200+ 'vs' 2600+). Yesterday that number was cut to 1/3 of it: 469 players will come back to day 3 on Thursday. As usual there is a long list of pros who were eliminated, but I'm not naming many here, so you can read pokernews' chipcounts here and see who busted last night. But, just to name a few eliminations: Jimmy "Gobboboy" Fricke, Scotty Nguyen and Erick Lindgren.

Last night was not a good day to the LPers who played the main event. Apparently everyone who started the day is out (?). Ket was eliminated in the last level when his Kings met Aces after a preflop shove. He explains a bit the situation in the Main Event topic:

last level of day 2 i get kings and open utg to 3600 at 600/1200/200a. i get 3bet to 10k by some old european guy. i ship it in for my remaining meagre 50k. old guy silently eyeballs my chips for a good 30s trying to count how much more it is. then he gives up and gets the dealer to do it, after the dealer gives him the count he starts slowly counting up the exact number of chips to make the call. i tell him, "if youre calling why dont you just say call and u can count the chips later if i win". he ignores me and continues counting up enough chips to exactly call my pf shove. after he finally does he then goes back into the tank for a bit before saying "I HAVE TO CALL" and putting the chips in to call. I turn over kings and he waits yet another 10s for good measure before TURNING OVER ACES. theres a crowd of ppl from other tables and live update reporters gathered around the table at this point and ppl are gasping in shock and disapproval. the dealer quickly puts out a bunch of low cards on the board and as soon as the river bricks the silent slowroller suddenly goes nuts and starts yelling in celebration at the top of his lungs while i just shake my head and stand up to leave. the old guy reaches across the table to shake my hand right after. obviously i refuse. instead i shake the hand of every other player at the table before i leave.

What a retard. thewh00sel was in a similar situation during day 1x. Well, what can we do? I think Ket showed how pissed he was with a class act.

I'm not sure if Raidan is through to day 3 or not. There is a conflict of information on this. WSOP chipcounts says he has 89k chips, while Pokernews.com says he is eliminated. Obviously the only official chipcounts are those from WSOP, but if anyone knows about it, post a comment please!

I can't find any info on Bigred000 (Patrick Stemper). His name is not on any chipcounts list I could find. I guess he busted . JonnyCosmo is out too. Hopefully we are gonna have better results tonight. GL guys!

One guy had a great run yesterday. His name is Brian Schaedlich, a 22 years old elementary school teacher that qualified for the Main Event via a $135 satellite. He now has 801,000 chips, twice the stacksize of the 2nd in chips, and said that at one point people were offering him $5 just to sit in his seat and take a picture with all his chips, hah.

Take a look at the day2a chipleaders:

1.Brian Schaedlich 801,000
2.Hunter Frey 397,000
3.Jeremiah Smith 386,000
4.Patrick Fortin 355,900
5.Kellen Hunter 354,100
6.Brandon Adams 353,600
7.David Rheem 353,000
8.Ronald Adams 333,550
9.Farhad Sinae 328,500
10.Eric Crain 315,000

i dont understand this old idiots either, I was at the last 22 ppl at a 3k tourney that peachy staked me and this old guy from Chile raised, I ship 12+ BBs with QQ and he called. I then said "well i guess you have Aces or Kings", the guy said "no, what do you have?" then i was a little happy and turned over my queens, he then was very happy and turned over his aces, like wtf am i gonna have something better than aces? asdf.

Dude, wtf.

How the fuck do people slowroll like that? Like, why do they do it?

bigred busted tptk vs middle set like first level of the day

if i got slowrolled, i'd lean over and smash them in the face, or wait for them outside the casino.
