15 players started Day 2 today and after the first level and a half, 2 players have been eliminated, leaving just 13 players still in the action. Event 10 attracted 92 total players and 10 will be paid, so the money bubble is approaching. As this is an 8-handed tournament, the final table bubble may also be significant, which will happen when the 10th player has been eliminated (the final table starts at 9 players).

Tough beat for Victor
2013/12/03 2:23pm by
Victor Ramdin was extremely short of chips, but still… the poker gods didn’t have to eliminate him from the tournament in such a brutal fashion.
Victor open shoved his under-50K stack from middle position and Guillaume Darcourt called from the button. Sam Tsehai folded from the small blind while Patrick Eskandar called as well from the big blind.
The flop was 
and Guillaume and Patrick both checked. The turn was the 
. Patrick bet 50K and Guillaume quickly called. The river was the 
and Patrick checked. Guillaume thought for a minute and bet 75K. Patrick called immediately and flipped over 
for a rivered full house. Guillaume mucked and Victor was disgusted as he flipped over his pocket 
for a flopped (but smaller) boat.
