Thomas Muehloecker, one of the elite European high rollers, raised to 250 from the cutoff. His opponent from three seats over defended his big blind, and the two saw a flop .
Muehloecker pulled out a 200 continuation bet after his rival had checked, and after another call the landed on the turn. No bets were made this time.
The river was the and the big blind checked once again. Muehloecker set the price high, putting 1,000 in front of him. His opponent wasn't willing to pay and the pot went the Austrian's way without any hole cards exposed.
After a limp, Amal Bounahra raised to 500 from the button and the initial raiser from Team Boyadijan called. The flop came and the action checked to Bounahra, who bet 550. "Put a jack on the turn," her opponent said and called. After the turn, Bounahra's second bet of 1,000 was check-called with a similar remark and the river completed the board.
Now the opponent of Bounahra min-bet for 100 and was called. The opponent flashed and Bouhnara had that beat with .
Felipe Ramos is now in charge of the stack that can be also handled by Jason Mercier and his wife Natasha. The action was steady when we visited Ramos at his table, but the funny Brazilian is always entertaining, no matter the circumstances. While we were there, Ramos shared some thoughts about other tournaments at the World Series of Poker.
"After busting the $111,000 and $10,000, this is fun," he said about the Tag Team event with a smile, before confirming that we'll see him in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship, too. "If there is one tournament I want to win, it's the Players Championship," he said.
"Somebody asked me before the One Drop about which tournament would I rather win — One Drop or Players Championship. I said the Players. That's why I busted the One Drop," he laughed. "It was stupid, I should've been greedy and say I want to win the One Drop and then say it again. Makes sense, right?"
Mukul Pahuja was moved from his table in the Gold section to find a new home as the first tables are breaking over there. Michael Lech has taken over from Darius Tamulevicius, and Thomas Muehloecker arrived at his table that also features Alex Rocha as well.
Meanwhile, Allyn Shulman has now taken over from Barry, and Ylon Schwartz almost doubled the starting stack in the two levels thus far.
Thomas Miller has more than doubled his stack, and so has Brian Altman. Altman's teammate Darren Elias played his required hands in the blinds and left while Altman did most of the work thus far.
Last but not least, the combination Sean Jazayeri and Robert Buckenmayer hovers around the starting stack while Brian Pinkus and his father are below that.
Philly's Joe McKeehen is playing the Tag Team tournament, too. However, the 2015 WSOP Main Event Champion for $7,683,346 has been struggling so far. Sporting the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers t-shirt today, McKeehen was down to last 14 big blinds when we saw him open shove from the small blind and he took the pot uncontested.
A few moments later, McKeehen was fighting for another pot. We picked up the action on the turn where McKeehen was up against one opponent. McKeehen, seated in a better position, bet 400 into about 750 and that got the job done.
However, it's still a mountain to climb for McKeehen who will return to 1,975 after the break.
According to the screens, there are at least 761 teams registered by the end of Level 2. Right now all players and teammates have been sent out of the room as the first 20-minute break of the day has started.
Joe McKeehen is bouncing back. Less than five minutes into the third level of the day, McKeehen earned a double-up to soar near the starting stack.
He was in the big blind and following a raise to 325 from a player in an early position moved all in for just under 2,000. McKeehen's opponent wasn't happy with the situation but eventually called, holding . He was trailing to McKeehen's and the board didn't change it. The champ is back.
