Episode 4 of 888poker's exciting docuseries sees the Team 888poker members return to the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas for Day 2 of the $10,000 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. Five team members sat down at their respective tables, but only three of them progressed to Day 3.

All but YouTube sensation Jack "JaackMaate" Dean entered the mix with decent stacks; Dean had exactly 30,000 chips, or half of the starting stack. On the way to his table, Dean explained how he loved having the 888poker camera crew following him around because it gave his opponents the impression that he was a better player than actually is.

"Little do they know, I'm a fish. Fish is bad, right? Yeah, I'm a little fish," joked Dean.

Dean managed to rebuild his stack to 50,000, Lucia Navarro added 10,000 or so chips to her stack, but Vivian Saliba lost half of her chips and found herself on three or four different tables which disrupted her focus and flow. Although the hands were not captured, Nick "eastyyy22" Eastwood described the start of his Day 2 as "one of the most ridiculous days of poker" he's ever played.

Navarro was the first of 888poker's Day 2 players to find herself on the sidelines. The Spaniard admitted she ran one bluff that didn't go to plan, which cost her half of her stack. She became a short stack, was moved to a different table and busted on her first hand with new tablemates.

A card-dead Eastwood was the next to fall, shoving with pocket nines and running into his opponent's pocket kings. That's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes.

The remaining three Team 888poker members bagged up stacks when Day 2 ended. Aaron Barone finished with 140,500 chips despite dropping to his lowest chip count during the final level of the day. A timely double-up with two pairs set Barone's stack on an upward trajectory.

Saliba bagged and tagged 96,500 after an eventful and frustrating day at the tables. She remained optimistic of her chances and hopeful that Day 3 wouldn't see her have to swap tables repeatedly.

Amazingly, despite starting the day with the shortest stack of his team mates, and being the less experienced of the returning quintet, Dean made Day 3 of the WSOP Main Event. He ran a "f***ing sick bluff," his words, not ours, on his way to a 150,500 stack!

Ukrainian pro Denys Chufarin said Dean had played with "a big British heart", with Dean stating Chufarin was the nicest man in poker!
