Two Emerging Contenders
Level 10
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
On Day 2 of an EPT it's always a quest to find emerging players who will turn into real contenders as the tournament goes on. We just spotted two players that tangled, and both have great stacks as we head towards the first break.
We saw Ori Hasson put in a four-bet to 14,800 from the cutoff as Andreas Samuelsson, from his immediate left had 5,200 out in front of him. Samuelsson went into the tank for a bit before five-betting to 26,500 and Hasson made the call.
The flop brought 
and Hasson check-folded to a 18,500-chip bet. Samuelsson boosted his stack up some more, and while Hasson lost this pot he's also in great shape at the moment.
