First Elimination of the Day

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

On the first hand of play, before all players had taken their seats Hoyt Corkins and George Lind wasted no time getting it in. Toby Lewis opened for 2,300, Lind called from the button and Corkins raised to 6,500. Lewis got of the way and Lind called again.

The flop came {2-Clubs} {K-Spades} {4-Spades} and Corkins potted for 16,300. Lind moved all in and Corkins called.

Corkins: {A-Spades} {J-Spades}
Lind: {10-Spades} {8-Spades}

The board finished {J-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} and Lind's Day 2 was over in one hand. Corkins is at 85,000.

Chiu vs. Schwartz

Chad Holloway

With around 25,000 in the pot and a board reading {6-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, David Chiu checked to his sole opponent, Noah Schwartz. The latter fired out a bet of 20,500, leaving himself just over 10,000 behind. Chiu tanked long and hard before conceding the hand.

Schwartz has position on Chiu and we imagine he'll be terrorizing him all day long.
