Five becomes four at dinner break

Jakub Milion's Day 2 run came to an end after an amazing call caught him out just before dinner.

The young Czech (pictured) had been sinking into short stack territory for some time by the time he picked up AQ and he went to the flop with one caller.

The dealer flipped J-2-4 and undeterred, Milion c-bet for around 9,000 and was called again. A King on the turn prompted the Team Paradise player to ship his remaining 24,000 - but the villain somehow made the call with 74 to knock Jakub out of WSOP #32.

"I'm not sure if he was crazy or good because I was quite new to the table," said a bewildered Milion, "But that was an amazing call." Jakub finished 141st and won $3,741.

Elsewhere David Pishvafar was also all-in moments before the 60-minute interval, hoping his opponent would call vs his set of 9s, but it wasn't to be.

It was still good a sizeable pot, however, and elevated the German ahead of the average - and to his biggest stack of the tournament - on 95,000.

Swedish pair Alex Hanell and Robert Norberg complete the four Paradise players still remaining with 100,000 and 163,000 chips respectively.

There will be another six hours of play on Day 2, unless we reach the final table sooner, and 146 players remain. The average stack is now 87,164 and blinds will be at 1,200/2,400 with a 400 ante at the restart.
