Up and Down

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

About half of the tournament field is situated downstairs from the main tournament floor, in the cash game room, as the field size is too large to fit up here on the fourth floor.

We went downstairs to see how things were progressing down there, and we spotted recognizable players such as Matt Alexander, Ken Payne and Mark Kroon working to increase their stacks.

In one hand we caught, Alexander check-raised to 600 out of the big blind after his under-the-gun opponent bet 225 on a {9-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop. The player called, and Alexander bet 1,000 on the {3-Hearts} turn and was called again. An {a-Clubs} completed the board and prompted 3,000 from Alexander, and his opponent finally gave up.
