Justin Leeson was all in and at risk before the flop. Sal Haji called and the hands were tabled to reveal that Haji had the best of it.
Haji:
Leeson:
Leeson found hope when the flop fell , giving him an open ended straight draw. The was no help and he needed an ace or a nine on the river to stay alive.
Alas, the fell on the river and Leeson was sent packing. Haji's stack, on the other hand, has increased to about 220,000.
A grand total of five players saw a flop of fall. Norman Overdijk and three other players checked to Curtis Bertsen who shipped all in for a little over 200,000. It folded back to Overdijk who flat called with one player left to act. The final player folded, allowing Overdijk to triumphantly table for quad sevens.
Berntsen meekly tabled his for nothing but an insignificant flush draw. The on the turn filled his flush, but his fate was already sealed. The completed the board and he was sent packing. Overdijk, on the other hand, is now in a commanding chip lead with 745,000.
We found a super short-stacked Kelly Kellner all in for his last 20,000 before the flop against two players. The flop was and after a bet from one of his opponents and a fold from another, the hands were tabled:
Kellner:
Opponent:
The turn was a meaningless but the on the river filled Kellner's straight and scored him a little more than a triple up. He's now at about 70,000.
Lillian Chan finished Day 1c as the chip lead and it seems there has been no stopping her upward trending today, either.
We caught Chan heads up in a pot with Ahmed Amin where the flop read . Chan shot out a bet of 19,000 only to have Amin come over the top for 42,000 total. Chan sat riffling chips for a moment before pulling her bet back and coming out with a three-bet to 72,000. Amin went into the tank for well over a minute before finally letting go and awarding Chan the pot. She's currently sporting a stack of 530,000.
