Joe Orsino

Joe Orsino hung on just long enough to sneak his way in the money. Nursing a short stack from the start of hand-for-hand play, Orsino was down to 10,000 chips — less than two big blinds — when the bubble burst. He was fortunate to find a payday, but was the tournament’s first elimination busting in 54th place.

Players returned from break and quickly played down to 55 remaining after Jonathan Weiner’s KhKd was bested by Glen Ballenger’s AsAc all-in preflop. The runout came no help to either and Weiner bubbled the bubble.

Jonathan Weiner’s kings are no good against Glen Ballenger’s aces

With that, just 55 remained and only 54 paid. It took five rounds of hand-for-hand play before the bubble burst. On the final hand, an unknown player shoved 60,000 from the cutoff and Harmeet Singh called from the button.

Unknown player: AsQd

Harmeet Singh stands for the runout

Runout: 9s8s4d3hJh

Steve Trizis was recently spotted busting yet another opponent holding 7x7x versus 9x9x. Trizis held the sevens and spiked a set on the turn to get the best of it.

A few hands later, an opponent had 43,500 at risk preflop and Trizis called.

“You’re ahead,” Trizis said.

Opponent: QsQd
Trizis: Ad3d

Runout: AsKh5h7s8h

Trizis improved to a pair of aces and his good Day 2 run continued.

He had it up to about 375,000 at that time, but doubled up an opponent when his TxTx couldn’t hold on versus AxJx

Steve Trizis – 286,000

Forrest Jahn

After beginning the day as the short stack with just 14,000 chips and only four big blinds, Forrest Jahn scooped a few notable pots and now sits with 65,000 chips.

Blinds are up to 2,000/4,000 and while Jahn is far from deep, he’s a lot healthier than he was 40 minutes ago.

Steve Trizis

As recapped by the table, Seminole Hard Rock Tampa regular Steve Trizis picked up 7x7x and dueled the 9x9x of his opponent. The pair played a big pot, but didn’t get it in preflop. Trizis eventually hit quads while his opponent spiked a set. They got the last of Trizis’ stack in and Trizis doubled to kick off Day 2.

Steve Trizis – 170,000
