Judah Can’t Dodge Bullets

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

The hand started with a player opening to 1,600, before Mel Judah in middle position, raised to 3,700 in chips. The action folded around to the player in the small bind, who went all-in for her remaining 12,100 in chips. The original player folded, and Judah called.

Opponent: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Judah: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

The flop produced {9-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, instantly bringing a disgusted reaction from Judah. He was unable to improve as the board ran out {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} to see him drop to just a few thousand in chips.

Burns Flushes Kozlov

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

With the cards dealt out to everyone on the table, Kahle Burns moved all in from under the gun for 9,300 in chips and was met with another all-in from Martin Kozlov for 21,400. It forced a fold from the rest of the table, and both players tabled their cards.

Burns: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Kozlov: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}

The board ran out {4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} to see Burns catch the diamond on the river to complete a flush, doubling to 20,000 in chips, as Kozlov drops to 12,000 in chips.

Commanding Chip Leader

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Our chip leader has gone unnoticed until now. Tobin Ryall was just moved to the group of tables near the media desks, bringing with him a very large stack. After a quick count, it was determined that his 140,000 chip stack was the largest in the room, surpassing the next biggest by nearly 50,000 in chips.

After a quick chat with his rail, we found out that he was gifted a double-up when sitting on 60,000 when his opponent shoved on the river with the board reading {A-}{K-}{8-}{A-}{8-}, holding only {Q-}{J-}, losing to the {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts} in his possession.

Glazier Survives

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Arriving at the table, we found Jackie Glazier all in for her remaining 6,200 in chips and having one caller. The cards were tabled, and it was Glazier’s {j-Spades}{9-Spades} up against her opponents {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

“I’m really sorry if I give you another bad beat,” apologised Glazier.

The flop came {2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{K-Spades}, giving Glazier a flush draw. The turn fell the {10-Spades}, completing her flush, but giving her opponent outs to a full house. The river bricked the {9-Clubs}, allowing Glazier to double back up to 15,000 in chips, as her opponent could only sit back and ponder what might’ve been.

O'Rourke Out

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We're unsure of what happened, but Liam O'Rourke was just eliminated from the tournament. He didn't seem phased though, as he was just spotted having a good laugh with Daniel Neilson at a neighbouring table.

Ryall Loses the Lead

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We arrived at the table to see Tobin Ryall with a stack of chips pushed out in front of him, with his opponent already all in. The board read {2-Spades}{A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}, and Ryall tabled {A-Hearts}{9-Spades} but was crushed when his opponent tabled {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, for a running full house. The 80,000 chip pot moved away from the once chip leader, as his stack drops down to 90,000 in chips.

Who Will Finish the Leader

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

With just under 20 minutes to go before the end of play, several players are sitting on 100,000 chips stacks. It will be interesting to see who will overcome the others, and take the honour of finishing Day 1a chip leader.

Two More Hands

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

With 15 minutes left on the clock, the remaining players will play two more hands before the end of play.
