Jerry Calvaneso Eliminated in 7th Place ($2,134)

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Jerry Calvaneso
Jerry Calvaneso

Xiaohu Chen made it 60,000, Jerry Calvaneso re-popped to 150,000 and Chen made the call.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and after a Chen check, Calvaneso shipped it in for almost 320,000. Chen flipped over two jacks before acting. He was given a warning for exposing his hand, but after a good four minutes in the tank, he made the call.

Calvaneso held {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and blanked on the turn and the river to go broke seventh.

It was another 13 hour day of poker for Calvaneso with a much different result than his victory in Event #1 last night, but still an impressive two-day run for the Grand Island, NY native.

Stockfish Doubles

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

Jason Stockfish joined a pair of limpers into Xiaohu Chen's big blind, but when the {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop fell and Stockfish checked, Chen made it 95,000.

The other limpers folded before Stockfish shipped it in for 232,000 total. Chen called with {9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and was ahead of Stockfish' {j-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flush draw.

The turn came the {2-Clubs}, but the {8-Hearts} river made Stockfish' flush and he leapfrogged Chen in the counts.

Johnson Doubles

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

Charles Johnson Jr just doubled through Jason Stockfish.

When it folded to Johnson on the button, he shoved {J-Spades}{10-Spades} and Stockfish made the call from the small blind with {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}.

A jack on the {j-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop did the trick and the {a-Spades}{2-Hearts} run out ensured the double.
