Level 13 - Blinds 1,500-3,000 (400 ante)
Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier had a profitable first two levels today, moving up in the counts to claim first position with 61 players left to begin Level 13. He's up to 375,000 now.
Steve O'Dwyer has also moved way up over the 350,000 mark as has Mark Radoja, while Dominik Nitsche sits just behind with about 345,000. Be sure to the chip counts page for the latest chip movement as well as to keep track of who has busted. --MH

2:35pm: Stern's ticked off about clock
Level 12 - Blinds 1,200-2,400 (300 ante)
Zvi Stern is not happy right now, having branded the fact that the clock was called on him "rude".
We're not sure who did the clock-calling, but here was the situation. Stern faced a big river three-bet from Ariel Celestino of around 60,000 with the board showing the [4c][kc][9s][5d][7d]. He'd obviously been taking his time in other hands prior to this, and his three-and-a-half minute decision was the last straw.
About 30 seconds of the clock ticked down before Stern made the call and Celestino flipped over [kd][9c] for top two. Stern insta-mucked and then made his complaint.
"It was not rude," said Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier, one of Stern's tablemates. "I think that every person would vote that you had long enough." --JS
Zvi Stern -- 145,000
Ariel Celestino -- 141,000
2:24pm: Kanit can't collect double in Dublin
Level 12 - Blinds 1,200-2,400 (300 ante)
Connor Drinan raised from the small blind and Mustapha Kanit reraised his short stack all in from the big blind, earning a quick call from Drinan.
Drinan: [Js][Jd]
Kanit: [Ac][7s]
Kanit began rubbing his hole cards back and forth on the felt in anticipation of the flop, as if to conjure good things. The flop wasn't so bad for him, coming [5d][8h][4c] to provide a gutshot possibility.
"Wow," said Kanit.
The turn was pretty good, too, pairing him up with the [7d].
"Send it!" Kanit petitioned the dealer.
But the [5c] river didn't help the Italian, and he's out.
With 64 players left, Drinan is up to 155,000. --MH
2:15pm: NOW he talks
Level 12 - Blinds 1,200-2,400 (300 ante)
Fabrice Soullier was tangled up in a hefty pot with Samuel Vousden from Finland. Soullier began the pot with an open to 6,000 before Vousden 3-bet to 14,000. Soullier called and the two saw the [th][6h][5d] flop. It went check-check, and the [td] hit the turn. Now Soullier led for 17,500 and Vousden called. The river came the [4h] and Soullier checked, and now Vousden put out a big bet of 59,000.
Soullier went deep into the tank on this one. He was chatting to Vousden, trying to get him to mutter anything of significance, but he got nothing out of him.
He eventually folded, and after someone said nice hand to Vousden he responded with "Thanks".
"Oh, so now you talk huh?" said Soullier, jokingly.
"I'm just not as talkative as you," replied Vousden.
Soullier thought for a moment and said: "Well, maybe that's because your hand was better, huh?"
Fabrice Soullier 80,000
Samuel Vousden 195,000 -JS
2:05pm: Nordh beats Vieira
Level 12 - Blinds 1,200-2,400 (300 ante)
Joao Vieira opened to 6,400 and found one caller in Gustav Nordh. We saw a [kh][8c][ac] flop and Vieira c-betted for the same 6,400 after it was checked to him. Nordh made the call and the turn was the [tc]. Nordh checked again and now the bet from Vieira was 11,800. It would be called and the [3s] landed on the river. Both checked and Nordh flipped over [as][jd] for top pair. It was good. -- JS
Gustav Nordh -- 190,000
Joao Vieira -- 82,000
2:01pm: Leonard loses, Ghassan gathers
Level 12 - Blinds 1,200-2,400 (300 ante)
Patrick Leonard got the last of his stack in on the turn with the board showing [2h][Th][7h][Ts] and Leonard holding [Ah][7d] for tens and sevens plus a flush draw. Too bad for him, Ibrahim Ghassan had [Kc][Tc] for trip tens, and after the [5s] river Leonard was eliminated. Ghassan is up around 145,000 now. --MH
1:51pm: Either/or situation for Dvoress ends in favor of Or
Level 12 - Blinds 1,200-2,400 (300 ante)
Following a [4h][6d][Tc] flop, Daniel Dvoress was all in with his short stack versus Or Hadad. Either Daniel's [Kd][Td] would hold up, or Or's [Jh][Th] would outdraw him.
The [Jc] that spiked on the turn meant the latter option had come true, giving Hadad two pair, and after the [Qh] river Dvoress was eliminated. Hadad now has about 225,000. --MH
1:40pm: Simao doubles through Mercier
Level 12 - Blinds 1,200-2,400 (300 ante)
With the board reading [tc][4h][2c], Mercier had put out a bet of 7,000 and Brazil's Joao Simao shoved for his last 31,100. Mercier made the call with pocket sevens but was trailing the [td][9d] of Simao. The [6s] turn and [ac] river changed nothing. --JS
Jason Mercier -- 105,000
Joao Simao -- 62,000
1:36pm: Vamplew sent home
Level 12 - Blinds 1,200-2,400 (300 ante)
David Vamplew has been knocked out at the hands of Mark Radoja, who finished third in the Single-Day €10K and came into Day 2 in this event 2nd in chips.
Vamplew stuck the last of his chips in with the [qs][6s] on a [js][8s][6d][kd] board, and was unsurprisingly called by Radoja with his pocket jacks. The river was the [6h], giving Vamplew a pointless set and improving Radoja to a boat.
Radoja now has 303,000. --JS
1:34pm: Level 12 begins
Level 12 - Blinds 1,200-2,400 (300 ante)
Just 75 players remain as Level 12 gets underway, with Nick Petrangelo and Antonio Ferreira the last couple of players eliminated. Meanwhile Dominik Nitsche has added a few to stay in the chip lead. He has about 315,000 now.
You can check the live chip counts page for updates on where the chips are going as well as to see who has busted here on Day 2. --MH
1:21pm: Stern takes a big pot from Adams
Level 11 - Blinds 1,000-2,000 (300 ante)
Timothy Adams opened to 5,000 (for the second hand in a row), which found three callers in Zvi Stern, Ariel Celestino and Francois Billard.
The dealer put out a [tc][3s][jc] flop, which both Billard and Adams would check. That allowed Stern to open the aggresion with a 7,800 bet, and only Adams would call.
We saw the [6d] on the turn, and here's where the pot grew substantially. Adams checked once more and Stern continued for 16,800, but now Adams opted to 3-bet to 44,000. Stern didn't budge.
To the river we went - the [3c]. Adams checked for a third and final time and then folded to Stern's 46,000 bet.
That takes Stern up to 225,000, while Adams dips to 70,000. --JS
1:11pm: Chance a chancer
Level 11 - Blinds 1,000-2,000 (300 ante)
Chance Kornuth is among the latest to fall here in the early going on Day 2 after tangling with Luuk Gieles over a pot and being unsuccessful. Kornuth joins Darrell Goh, Emil Ekvardt, and Luis Rodriguez Cruz on the rail. Gieles, meanwhile, jumps up over 250,000.
After busting, Kornuth has wandered back to the tournament area and is chatting with those still in about taking pieces.
"You can take a piece of me, Chance," called Dietrich Fast just after losing small one to chip leader Dominik Nitsche. "I'm cheap!" he added with a grin.
A smiling Chance is considering Fast's offer. --MH
1:05pm: Full treble up for Neuville; just a double for Frey
Level 11 - Blinds 1,000-2,000 (300 ante)
2015 November Niner Pierre Neuville just locked up a rather nice treble up. He came in to the day short, but now sits with a playable stack of 30 big blinds.
Georgios Zisimopoulos kicked things off with an open to 4,500 and Felix Bleiker called from the small blind. Pierre Neuville then took this opportunity from the big blind to get his last 18,800 into the middle, and both Zisimopoulos and Bleiker called.
The flop came [7d][qd][jh], and Zisimopoulos and Bleiker commenced the side pot, although not much would happen. Both checked the flop, then Zisimopoulos put out a bet on the [9h] turn and Bleiker gave it up, so the cards were on their backs.
Pierre Neuville [qh][qc]
Georgios Zisimopoulos [qs][9s]
The river was an inconsequential [4h] and Neuville shot up to 60,000.
The next hand saw Kyle Frey double through Zisimopoulos. The two got it all-in after Zisimopoulos made it 5,000, and Frey shoved for 46,100. It was the [as][qc] for Frey which had out-run Zisimopoulos' [8d][8h] on the [2h][ac][6c][9d][9c] board. --JS
Kyle Frey -- 95,500
Georgios Zisimopoulos -- 35,000
12:56pm: Money, money, money

Level 11 - Blinds 1,000-2,000 (300 ante)
Marc MacDonnell and Mike Watson are among the early busts here on Day 2, reducing the field to 82 players. --MH
12:42pm: Two black aces for Drinan
Level 11 - Blinds 1,000-2,000 (300 ante)
Connor Drinan raised to 5,000 from under the gun, then watched Alex Difelice three-bet to 12,500 from the button. Drinan called, and the pair both checked after the [9c][6c][7d] flop and again after the [Td] turn.
At the [9s] river Drinan fired 18,000, and after some thought Difelice called. Drinan tabled [As][Ac] and Difelice mucked. Drinan is up to 170,000 now while Difelice slips to just over 37,000. --MH
12:36pm: Three returners and one newcomer
Level 11 - Blinds 1,000-2,000 (300 ante)
