You know who you can watch on the live stream? Viktor Blom!
You know who you won't be able to see on the live stream? Nicolas Chouity.
In one of the last hands before the break the EPT Monte Carlo winner busted to Milan Joksic. We're not entirely sure what happened but we are sure Chouity's kings were cracked. Whether it was all in pre flop or post flop, the result was the same as Joksic had on . Chouity's kings went into the muck and he left the tournament area.
Cailin Jin opened and was raised by Simo Herman Kiukas . Jin moved all in and Kiukas sighed and called it off. It was a strange sigh as he tabled and was against the of Jin. The sigh proved prophetic though as the board ran out…
and with Jin just having Kiukas covered, Kiukas hit the rail. “I am lucky.” Admitted Jin.

Johnny Lodden opened for 4,000 and got callers in Vit Blachut on the button and the big blind. The three players saw a flop of and it was checked to Blachut who bet 5,000 after some thought. The big blind folded and Lodden made the call.
Turn was the and again Lodden checked. Blachut gave it some more thought and then reached out to move all his chips over the line. Lodden threw his hand away.
Michael Telker has been eliminated. He folded for most of the day, claiming to be card dead. Having moved tables he got one shove through but was out soon after. PokerNews caught up with him just after the Tournament Director had returned his water bottle filled with vodka.
Asked about his exit hand all he would say was, “Jacks against king-queen? Yeah that didn’t really work out.”
We're sad to inform you that Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov, who began Day 2 with the biggest stack for Team Pros, was recently eliminated. We missed the details, but he did tweet about it:
While Katchalov is out of the Main Event, he isn't done playing today. That's because he needs to finish his heads-up match against Niki Jedlicka in the Eureka High Roller, which you can read about by clicking here.
