Harrah's Lake Taho WSOP Circuit Main Event Day 2 - Fourth Update

Day 2 action from the Circuit Main Event at Harvey’s Lake Tahoe Continues:

It didn’t take long to get our first elimination from dinner break. On the very first hand, Glenn Uchibori moved all-in pre-flop for 40,000. Jake Solis made the call with pocket kings. Uchibori held pocket tens. The board missed both players and Glenn Uchibori became our 18th place finisher and will take home $7,042 for his strong finish.

James Marks was the next person sent packing as he moved all in with Kd-10d and was called by the pocket sevens of Jake Solis. Marks flopped a straight draw, but was unable to complete his straight. Marks finished the day in 17th place and will also take home $7,042.

Chris Dombrowski moved all-in pre-flop for 51,000 total and was called by Travis Erdman. Dombrowski held pocket jacks and Erdmand A-K. Erdman would spike a king on the flop and catch an ace on the river to eliminate Dombrowski in 16th place. Chris Dombrowski will take home $7,042. Unfortunately for Dombrowski, his aggressive bubble play resulted in his being one of the first out after the bubble burst.

Michael Cooper was the next to go out. He moved all-in pre-flop for around 36,000 and was called by Travis Erdman. Cooper held Kh-8c and Erdman held Ac-7s. Erdman would catch an ace on the flop and that would be enough to win him the hand and eliminate Cooper. Michael Cooper finished in 15th place and will receive $8,323.

Emilio Porcalla moved all-in after a raise from Bill Bostick pre-flop. Bostick made the call and showed pocket aces. Porcalla held A-K and would need next to a miracle. The flop fell 10s-8s-2s and Porcalla would need running kings or running straight cards to win the hand. The turn fell the 2d and that sealed his fate. Emilio Porcalla was our 14th place finisher and will take home $8,323.

It didn’t take long after that to lose our next player. Rick Troendly moved all-in pre-flop for around 57,000 and Bostick made the call. Troendly got caught trying to steal with 6c-5c and Bostick held pocket jacks. Troendly would catch a little help when the flop fell Kc-2d-6d to give him a pair of sixes. The turn and the river would bring no help for him and Rick Troendly was eliminated in 13th place. He will take home $8,323 for his deep run.

After being down to around 40,000 chips earlier in the day, Michael Binger has moved up to 2nd in chips. On the turn, the board read Qd-9h-2s-7d and Preston Derden bet out 14,000. Both Binger and Bill Bostick made the call. The river fell the Kd and action was checked to Binger who bet out 30,000. Only Derden made the call and Binger showed Jc-10h for the straight. Derden held As-Qc for middle pair. After the hand Binger moved up to 318,000 chips.

A couple of players are left on relatively short stacks right now. Preston Derden is down to 38,000 and Scott Clements is down to 43,000. Three more players need to be eliminated before we reach our final table. Stay tuned and see who makes it.
