Chan Doubles

An opponent opened to 1,600 in late position, and Feming Chan moved all in for around 5,000. The action folded back to his opponent who called.

Showdown
Opponent: {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Chan: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

The board ran {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, and Chan doubled to around 11,000.

"See how good you play when you don't have aces?" Nicky Frangos jabbed.

2007 WSOP bracelet winner Chris Reslock commands one of the biggest stacks in the room, and he just busted an opponent at his table.

Ronald Lee opened to 1,100, a player moved all in for just over 10,000, and Reslock re-shoved, having everyone covered. Lee quickly folded, and the hands were turned over.

Showdown
Opponent: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Reslock: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The board ran {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{q-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{a-Clubs}, and Reslock's opponent was eliminated.

Small Stacks Busting Fast

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

With time running out at the end of Day 1a small stacks are busting left and right. We've seen more tables break in the last 15 minutes than we've seen all day.

KO for Karate Mike

A player in late position open-shoved for about 11,000, and "Karate" Mike Santoro re-shoved for a little over 40,000. The rest of the players folded, and the hands were opened.

Showdown
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Santoro: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

"Jack of clubs," the all-in player pleaded.

He did not find a jack as the board ran {2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, and was eliminated from Day 1a
