Day 2 of the WPT Caribbean 2014 ends in the Money

Thursday, November 06, 2014 Posted by Unknown , , , No comments
The second day of the $3,200+300 WPT Caribbean at the Casino Royale on Sint Maarten restarted in level nine with 53 players and it would take until level 15 to let the bubble burst and ensure that all remaining participants are in the money.

The unfortunate bubble boy was Julio Belluscio from Argentina, who had his pocket aces cracked by the KdQd of Christophe Rosso. The Frenchman will also be the chip leader with 474,000 when play resumes at 16:00 local time with 1:03:37 left in level 15 at blinds 1,500-3,000 / ante 500.

Among those that didn't make it into the money were Ben Wilinofsky, Mike Leah, Barry and Allyn Shulman, Marvin Rettenmaier, Allen Kessler and defending champion Tony Dunst. Sabina Hiatullah was the last woman in the field and busted in 17th, just two spots shy of the money.

A total of five WPT Champions Club members are still in: Darren Elias (421,000), Jonathan Roy (371,000), Anthony Zinno (286,000), Mike Linster (115,500) as well as Will Failla (90,000).

The $200+20 NLHE Event #10 of the Caribbean Poker Tour determined its winner within one hour and ended up with a chop between Michel Pecot and Menalque Volet, both from Sint Maarten.

Furthermore, the $200 Bounty Event drew 97 entries and Gerrard Henry not only accumulated 17 bounties but took down the tournament for smooth $3,400 after cutting a deal with heads-up opponent Albert Balayn. Last but not least, Joshua Nagel overcame a large chip deficit and defeated Cedric Adam to win the $200+20 Pot Limit Omaha Event #12.

Day 8 of the CPT 2014 will reduce the field in the WPT Main Event from 15 to six and at 18:00 local time, a $500+50 NLHE Event kicks off with 20,000 in chips and levels that last 30 minutes. It is a three-day event that concludes on November 8th.
