MPC24 Day 2 live updates

4:05pm: Level 13 begins, blinds are 1,500/3,000 with a 400 ante

3:55pm: Jacks for Shabelnyk

The Ukraine's Valentyn Shabelnyk just sent a tablemate packing after picking up [js][jc]. The two got it in preflop and with Shabelnyk's opponent holding [kd][3d], the latter wouldn't improve on a runout of [3h][ad][6h][6s][7c].

That knock out brings Shabelnyk's stack up to 159,000.

3:45pm: Davies done

It seems US pro Scott Davies has also been eliminated in the early stages here today. He took to Twitter to inform his followers.

Busted the main to @LouisSalter1 after open ripping button w 78 into his AJs in the BB. Hope u take it down Louis! #MPC24

3:35pm: Ichinose out the door

One of only two Team PokerStars Pros in today's field has just left us. Kosei Ichinose found himself all in and at risk after a preflop confrontation.

It folded around to Weichun Jiang on the button and he put in a raise to 5,800. Ichinose moved all in from the small blind for his last 37,800 and was quickly called when it folded back to Jiang.

Ichinose: [ks][ts]
Jiang: [ac][jh]

Ichinose was behind but he still had a fair shot at staying alive holding live cards. The [5h][6d][2c][4c][2d] would bring him no help, however, and the Team Pro headed for the exit.

3:20pm: Chen loses a chunk

James Chen started the day as one of our chip leaders here but just took a big hit in the first level.

Chen opened the action with an under the gun raise to 4,800 and the big blind opted to defend. The flop landed [5s][9d][7d] and when checked to, Chen continued for 6,000. The player in the big blind check-raised to 13,500 causing Chen to pause for a moment.

After eyeing the big blind's stack Chen put in another raise for a total of 50,000. His opponent quickly moved in for 86,400, Chen quickly called, and the cards went on their backs.

Chen: [kd][jd]
Opponent: [Ad][td]

Both with flush draws but Chen the inferior one he'd need to find a king or a jack to eliminate the player in the big blind. The board failed to cooperate as the [4h] turn and [4c] runout bricked off.

Chen falls back down to around 96,000 after that hand.

3:05pm: Shuffle up and deal!

Cards are in the air here for Day 2 of the MPC24 Red Dragon.

Blinds commence at 1,200/2,400 with a 400 ante and the average stack currently at 62,258.

The returning 259 will be hoping to have another great day at the felt and make it through to Day 3 in the quest for the HK$2,360,000 top prize and the spectacular Red Dragon trophy.

Let's go!
