Remnant Among the Early Chip Leaders

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

In a five-way three-bet pot to the AJ2 flop, it checked all the way to Mark Remnant on the button with the flop showing AJ2. Remnant announced a bet of 7,000 and tossed in two orange T-5,000 chips. Three folds later, the action was on He Zhou and she also folded to forfeit the pot.

Along with Hal Rotholz, Remnant is an early chip leader towards the end of level one.

Kivi Forces Out Gardner

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Heads-up to the J934 turn, Grant Gardner and Roland Kivi both invested what appeared to be 2,700 and that led them to the K on the river. Gardner now checked and Kivi then bet 3,800. That brought a dry smile on the face of Gardner, who sigh-folded a couple of seconds later.

Mai Off to a Decent Start

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

The runner-up of the 2023 WPT Prime Cambodia Main Event accumulated several deep runs in Poker-Stars branded live events including the same venue here at NagaWorld. Bien Mai has already earned an APPT trophy during the stop and has also chipped up right away on Day 1a. During one of the latest showdown hands, his J10 turned a flush on the QJ4K5 board and got some value to send the player from Vietnam up on the leaderboard.
