IPT7 Malta2 Day 2: Level 19 Updates (5,000/10,000, 1,000)

7:45pm: Wyrzykiewicz on fumes
EPT11 Malta Main Event eighth-place finisher Remi Wyrzykiewicz has fumes for chips after a mistimed four-bet doubled up his opponent Benjamin Richardson.

The action folded around to Wyrzykiewicz on the button and he raised to 20,000. Richardson was in the big blind and three-bet to 55,000 before calling all in for 261,000 after Wyrzykiewicz shoved.

Wyrzykiewicz: [jc][jh]
Richardson: [ks][td]

The board ran [8h][4d][as][5s][js] to make the Australian a set. Wyrzykiewicz sat with a lowered shaking head and 17,000 chips.

7:25pm: Day 2 is moving day as well as bubble day
The bubble was taken care of before the break, Matas Cimbolas the unlucky player to bust.

Russel Thomas

The same fortune cannot be said for Russell Thomas and Yann Dion. The former entered Day 2 as one of the shortest stacks with 20,600 to his name, less than ten big blinds to play with. He never gave up though and now around 540,000 chips.

The latter has a big smile on his face now. Dion came back with more than twice Thomas but slid all the way down to two big blinds before he staged a remarkable recovery and has climbed up to 386,000.

Both are behind a top five of:

1. Julian Stuer (Germany), 975,000
2. Henry Broens (Netherlands), 858,000
3. Alessio Peciarolo (Italy), 830,000
4. Giuseppe Polichetti (Italy), 702,000
5. Pedro Lamarca (Spain), 687,000
