Park Still Slipping; Breed Rising

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

More than 50 players have now registered for Day 1a and it appears that just one of them lost all of the chips already.

Koen Breed raked in a profit in a three-way pot when the AK436 river was checked. One of his opponents tabled Q10x for a missed open-ender, after which Breed rolled over the A7 for the top pair. That was good enough to win the pot, as the third player in the hand folded.

One table over, Hyunkyou Park has slipped down further and sits slightly above half the starting stack. The latest hand saw him go heads-up to a flop of Q55 after which Aayush Arya bet 2,000 into 5,500 from under the gun to win the pot.
