Assorted Big Stacks

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

Eights Are Running Hot

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante
Dylan Sendeckyj
Dylan Sendeckyj

With more than 11,000 in the pot and the flop showing {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, Antonio Tavella called a bet of 11,000 and then faced a second barrel worth 16,000 on the {3-Diamonds} turn. Tavella moved all in for another 25,200 on top and his opponent immediately sighed.

Eventually, the all in call followed and Tavella turned over {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}. His opponent was disgusted and gasped "fuck" while revealing {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}. The {J-Diamonds} river bricked and Tavella raked in a big pot.

Dylan Sendeckyj also managed to crack pocket aces, and flopped a set with {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}, then turned a full house on the {J-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{J-Spades}{5-Clubs} to secure a vital double up in the final level of the night.

Standing Up Helps Meritan; Hurts May

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

Luc Meritan was all in and at risk with {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} against the {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} of Heidi May. The flop came {6-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Meritan was up on his feet and preparing to head to the exit.

The turn was the {7-Spades} but the river {j-Clubs} saved him as he hit his two-outer and doubled to around 100,000 with an hour left in the level.

Both the turn and river blanked and Subramaniam doubled early in the final level of Day 1a.

Strang and Tedeschi Tangle Once More

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

Paul-Francois Tedeschi and Errolyn Strang are among the bigger stacks on their table and were involved in several heads-up pots throughout the last few hours. They tangled once more with Strang in the small blind and Tedeschi on the button, and Strang check-called a bet of 3,000 on the {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop. She then bet the {8-Clubs} turn for 5,000 and Tedeschi folded.

David Gorr

The pair are not only seated at the same table in this year's Main Event, but they're sat rightnext to one another! Gorr navigated away from a tricky table with Australian bracelet-winner Heidi May and sits with around 62,000.

Judah is up from starting stack with 42,000. The average is around 50,000 in chips with one level remaining in Day 1a.

Chabra Forces Out Honeyman

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

Dylan Honeyman raised from early position and picked up one caller on the button. Ajay Chabra in the big blind squeezed and Honeyman was the only caller. Chabra proceeded to bet the {9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop and the {A-Spades} turn, picking up calls from Honyman and creating a pot of around 50,000.

After the {3-Diamonds} river, Chabra bet 26,750 with one T-25 chip behind, a signature move that was used frequently during the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) in the High Roller events just two weeks ago. Honeyman had fewer chips behind and eventually ended up folding.
