Team Running Out of Time
Lind: (X) (X) / / (X)
Sheikh: (X) (X) / / (X)
The fortunes of PokerStars Team Online player seem to be reflecting the fortunes of all of Team PokerStars in this Day 2. Lind, already a short stack, caught the bring-in. Action folded to Aurangzeb Sheikh, who completed. Lind decided to call heads-up.
One bet went in on each of fourth, fifth and sixth streets, with Lind leading the whole way. At the river both players checked. Lind only managed a lowly pair of deuces. That allowed Sheikh to drag the pot with a pair of nines.
Lind's count is down to 12,000. He is firmly in Short-Stack Land along with Team Pro Barry Greenstein and Pat Pezzin. Daniel Negreanu is holding steady with about 60,000. The only player who seems to be trending upwards is PokerStars-sponsored player Eric Buchman.
