It appeared Rob Fulcomer limped under the gun and a short-stacked Sean Munjal moved all in for his last 6,800 or so from the hijack. Action folded back to Fulcomer, who made a quick call.

Munjal, who was on his second bullet today, needed to crack aces to stay alive, but that proved easier said than done as the board ran out an unhelpful .
After Ben Marsh opened with a raise, Kevin Eyster three-bet to 2800. Action folded back to Marsh, who moved all in for 11,250. Eyster called and it was off to the races.

The flop gave Eyster the lead with a set, meaning Marsh needed a jack to make a straight and survive. The turn wasn't it, but the river was! Ship the double to Marsh.
Back in August, Alan Curl topped a field of 238 players to win the Mid-States Poker Tour Grand Falls for $64,655. Curl is looking for his second title of the season, but he's had to contend with the aggressive William Black.
In a recent hand, there was around 15,000 in the pot and a board reading when Black bet 10,000 and Curl moved all in for 19,025 total. Hand made the call and discovered he was way behind.

We noticed Kevin "Phwap" Boudreau, who finished fourth in this event one year ago, was no longer at his table. A quick check with the players confirmed he'd been eliminated after getting his stack all in preflop holding and ahead of Griffin Malatino's .
However, a king spiked and just like that Boudreau was eliminated from the tournament for a second time on Day 1b. Whether or not he wants to fire again remains to be seen.
Tyler Corbett raised to 1,000 under the gun and action folded around to William Black in the big blind. He opted to defend, both players checked the flop, and the peeled off on the turn. Black bet 1,625, Corbett called, and the completed the board on the river. Black bet again, this time 4,675, and Corbett called only to muck when Black rolled over the for flopped trips.
Black proceeded to win the next few hands, including one where he made fives full of sevens and got paid off for 15,000 by Corbett on the river.
"You run like that McKeehen guy," a lady at the table said.
"I'd say more like Jamie Gold," Black said with a big smile.
With around 12,000 in the pot and a board reading , a player in the small blind checked and Reza Yazdi, who won this very event last fall, bet 6,600 from the button. His opponent made the call and then checked the river. Yazdi did the same, and the player in the small blind tabled the . It was no good though as Yazdi rivered a pair with the .
