Naveen Sama opened to 2,000 from early position, but Robin Kleinbeck put more chips in the pot when he three-bet to 6,400 from the hijack. Rafael Segoviano called out of the small blind, and Sama joined the fray with a call.

Kleinbeck bet 6,500 after it was checked to him. Segoviano got out of the way, but Sama stayed in the hand with a call.

The 5♣ river was checked by Sama. Kleinbeck was not done betting as he put out 30,000.

Day 1a chip leader Ryuta Nakai has been having a bit of a rough start on Day 2abc, having lost approximately half of his stack since the start of play.

In a recent hand, Ryuta Nakai opened to 2,500 from the hijack and was called by Nikita Kalinin in the small blind and Paul Berger in the big blind.

Kalinin and Berger checked to Nakai, who continued for 3,500 on the 7♣6♣Q♠ flop. Kalinin called and Berger folded.

Both players checked down on the 4♠ turn and 8♣ river and Kalinin tabled K♠6♠ for a pair of sixes. Nakai turned over 10♣10♠ and was sent the pot.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Joseph Gallagher opened to 2,500 from early position and was called in two places by Justus Marsico from the cutoff and Octavian Tarcau in the small blind.

Gallagher continued for 3,500 on the 2♣2♠8♥ flop before both opponents called.

The action slowed down on the A♣ turn as all three remaining players checked.

Tarcau led out for 4,500 on the 4♥ river to resume the betting. Gallagher called, but Marsico folded.

Tarcau tapped the table in resignation as he showed 3♣3♠ for two pair. He was correct that they were no good as Gallagher tabled J♠J♦ for a higher two pair to claim the pot.
