Alexander Kimpel

We didn’t see how it happened, but we noticed Alexander Kimpel sitting next to Fred Paradis with a few more chips now than he started on Day 2. He is up to 759,500 and among the leaders after coming into the day with 395,500.

Blinds increased to 2,500/5,000 with a 5,000 ante and the average stack is about 208,000 (42 bb)

Championship: Fred Paradis Doubles Through Hal Rotholz

Level 13:  2,000/4,000 with a 4,000 ante
Players Remaining:  128 of 625

Fred Paradis

With the flop reading Jc6h5c, Fred Paradis checked and Jack Sumner bet 11,000. Hal Rotholz raised to 42,000 and Paradis check-raised all in for 71,5000. Sumner did some deep thinking, took nearly five minutes to decide, and opted to fold. Rotholz quickly called the remaining amount and Paradis was at risk.

Paradis: KcQc
Rotholz: 9c8c

Both players were drawing for the clubs and Paradis needed to dodge two live cards. The 7c turn locked up the flush for Paradis and he doubled after the As river finished the board.

Paradis already owns two trophies from this series and looking to make his third a big one.

Fred Paradis – 192,500 (48 bb)
Hal Rotholz – 212,000 (53 bb)

Randy Levin

Randy Levin was in early position with 30,500 and moved all in. It folded around to the big blind, he confirmed the count, and called with the bigger stack.

Levin: AcQs
Big Blind: Ad6d

Levin was in great shape to double up but the big blind player paired his six on the JdTd6c flop. Levin had a gutshot in addition to his queen but missed the 8c turn. The help came on the Qc river and he doubled up.

Randy Levin – 67,000 (17 bb)

Three flights were run for the TPC Championship, drawing 625 entries for a prize pool over $900,000. There are 156 players returning for Day 2 at noon and they will begin working their way down to our champions.

The first order of business will be making it into the money and only 79 of them will get paid. That should hit early this afternoon and the field will continue shrinking.

They are scheduled to play ten full levels today or reach the final table whichever comes first. Survivors will return tomorrow for the last day of the series.

Wagner Wysotchanski

Flight C ended with approximately 79 players remaining, we will have the official numbers in a bit, and Wagner Wysotchanski jumped to the overall lead with 670,000. Apparently, he caught a huge cooler against Calais Campbell and sent him out while stacking the lead.

We will post the entire Day 2 seat draw and chip counts as soon as they are available.
