David Salituro

Level 2 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Yixuan Xu bet 5,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 2♠5♣8♦ and Paul McAulay called on the button.

Xu then bet 8,000 on the A♠ turn, and McAulay again called. Both players checked the J♣ river, and Xu showed A♣2♣ for two pair. McAulay claimed he had ace-king as he mucked.

At another table, Allan Nesbitt bet 2,200 from the small blind on a flop of 9♠K♦8♦ and Vivian Saliba called under the gun.

The turn was the K♣ and Nesbitt bet 5,000. Saliba again called, and the 3♥ fell on the river. Nesbitt then bet 8,600, and Saliba folded this time.

Despite dropping that pot, Saliba has already increased her stack to around 170,000.

Level 1 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Around 40,000 was already in the pot as Dean Lyall and Craig Conway went to the turn on a board of 10♥3♥6♠Q♣. Lyall then moved all in from the small blind, and Conway called for his last 70,000 in the hijack.

Lyall showed K♣K♠, while Conway had Q♥9♥ for a pair and flush draw. The 6♣ river was no help to Conway, and he was sent to the rail as the first casualty of the event.

Jack Hardcastle soon followed him to the rail at another table.
