Unfortunately we lost Gusten”Simba84″ Sjöberg really early on in day 2, when he pushed his short stack in from the SB when it was folded to him. The BB called holding and Ace, and Gusten was out after an uneventful board.

We did have hopes for Lukas “ChilledOne” Bäumer who fought well for several hours, but busted in 65th place after having his toppair outdrawn by a flushdraw.
Team Potraiser now looks forward to the Swedish Championships that will be our next tounament, and then we will go to Valencia in October.

Team Manager, Albert Rolander signing off for now

The tourney started out with the exact same number of entrants as in day 1A. 212 players put up the entry fee and then the total field was up to 424 entrants in the tourney.
The guys from Team Potraiser started out well with all 6 of them having more chips than they started with after the first 2 hours of play.
JP “TAKE_MANEY” Heimonen was doing best of them as he had close to 20K going in to the dinnerbreak.
Right before the dinnerbreak we lost Zuberr and Yeahbunny*, who both of them said that it was just not their day.
After the dinnerbreak the rest of the remaining ProTeam players (uldahl, ihaveOuts and ullis14), all had 13K in chips to work with.

Unfortunately this was not to be the day for the guys in the team, first we lost Isac and then in quite rapid speed both uldahl and Henrik were knocked out as well. The best fight of the day was put up by the newest guy in the team, as the team hopes now rested in the hands of mr Heimonen.
JP fought well and survived quite a while with a dwingdling stack. JP said that he managed to get his stack up from 9K to 20K without a showdown.
Then eventually he got knocked out on a coinflip in level 9.

Today we go back to the Hilton to root for our 2 players that are still in.
The 2 players we still have in this fight is Gusten “Simba84″ Sjöberg, and Lukas “ChilledOne” Bäumer.

Gusten “Simba84″ Sjöberg

Lukas “ChilledOne” Bäumer

Lukas is in best shape of the 2 as he starts the day with about the average stack of 49K. Gusten is starting on a short stack of 13K as he really had a brutal last level on day 1.
Today we will be playing down to the final table, and lets all keep our fingers crossed for some Potraiser players making a good run today.
The rest of us will of course attend the player party thats beeing arranged tonight, and show the players that Team Potraiser also are good at partying.

The day started out with some of us taking some bad beats, so it was a rough start.
Unfortunately this was not Luxxxings day as he was eliminated quite early, as was JustFold.

When it was time for the dinnerbreak Ekolod1 and Simba84 were also in trouble as both had less then 5K left in their stacks.
ChilledOne was doing good though, and had a stack of 26K by the dinnerbreak.

Ekolod1 was eliminated right after the dinnerbreak when he pushed all in on top of open raise with 99.
There had been a caller of the first raise, so the original raiser tried to isolate against Ekolod1 by going all in for around 9K, but the caller called once again with his holding of JJ. The first raiser had AK and nothing hit the board so the Jacks eliminated both players.

Simba84 then really started to move after the dinner break, winning pot after pot.
At one point he was up to 70K in chips and was among the leaders.

Simba84, and ChilledOne are now through to day 2 that starts on Saturday, so lets hope we get some of the guys starting today to join them.
