We found Jason Koon in the cutoff getting his last 40,000 or so in on a flop with . Oleksii Khoroshenin had put him at risk with . As Koon related, action before that had opened with Koon limping and Khoroshenin popping a big raise in from the big blind.
In any case, Koon was in good shape to double until it ran out to give his opponent a straight.
Igor Kurganov bet 45,000 from the big blind on a completed board of . Fabrizio Gonzalez thought a bit and announced all in from middle position, and Kurganov snap-folded, leaving himself 21,200 back.
He asked to see a card, but Gonzalez grinned and shook his head.
"You called clock on me, now you want to see a card?" Gonzalez asked.
As noted a little earlier, there were a few players willing to jump into this $25,750 High Roller event at the last possible moment at the start of Day 2, just before the late registration window shut tight — among them Calvin Anderson, Bill Perkins, and last year's PCA $25K champion Nick Maimone.
Sam Greenwood was in early position and raised to 7,500. Christoph Vogelsang called from middle position and Nenad Medic decided to defend his big blind.
The flop came and Medic led out for 13,500. Greenwood turned to Medic and asked, "You have about a hundred back?" Medic broke his stack of chips down, indicating he had 97,000 behind. Greenwood eventually raised to 30,000 and Vogelsang got out of the way. Medic paused for a moment and eventually called.
The turn was the . Medic checked. Greenwood went into the tank for a minute and slid a stack forward, announcing he was all in. Medic didn't think too long before deciding to fold.
Paul Newey shoved in for just 21,000 in the small blind over a Bertrand Grospellier open and a Nick Petrangelo button call for 6,000 apiece. Both players called, and Grospellier check-folded to 20,000 from Petrangelo on a flop.
Petrangelo:
Newey:
Newey needed help and got it immediately with the turn. He still needed to fade another heart and did so: on the river.
Timothy Adams had a three-bet of 28,000 in front of him in the small blind when we arrived at his table. Oleksii Khoroshenin had made it a four-bet to around 75,000, and Adams was thinking things over. After about a minute, grabbed all of his chips and shoved them forward, and no sooner had his forward motion started than Khoroshenin's cards were sliding muckward.
Liv Boeree had a raise to 7,500 in front of her with an all-in triangle next to it. She was on the button and it appeared Salman Behbehani had made it 20,500 to go. He was thinking things over when we got there and then shook his head.
"Oh, you're all in?" he said. "I call."
Behbehani:
Boeree:
"Salman slowrolled me!" the PokerStars Team Pro complained to Igor Kurganov, who wandered over from a neighboring table to give Boeree a comforting hug. "Fuck you, Salman."
Behbehani denied the slowroll initially and then collected Boeree's chips when the board ran out . He tried apologizing but Boeree just laughed and shook her head, and Behbehani cracked a smile as well.
"OK," he said. "Last slowroll of 2017."
Kurganov and Boeree instructed Timothy Adams, who is seated to Behbehani's left, to slowroll Behbehani if he had the opportunity.
Upeshka De Silva had lost most of the chips he gained from doubling through Justin Bonomo earlier, but he just repeated the feat. This time, he jammed for 48,000 over a Bonomo open with and got called by a hand he was happy to see: . The board ran out , enabling De Silva to survive after dodging the flush draw.
