All-In All the Time

"When you're all-in more than 15 times the first day of a tournament; you gain some tough skin." Kenna James.

Kenna has been fighting with a short stack for many hours today and tonight and just survived yet another all-in. He has 8K at the moment but we guarantee those chips will be all-in-the-middle again soon.

Evelyn Ng Eliminated

Evelyn Ng
Evelyn Ng
After having J-J run into Q-Q, Evelyn Ng moved all in for her last 11K. She had {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and Ed Moncada called with {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. The flop was {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and although Ng got an Ace, Moncada flopped a set of Queens. The river and turn were both 4s and Ng lost to a full house. Moncada is over 125K.

An Ace on the River

Shortstack Richard (surname unknown) goes all-in from mid-position for 3000 and it's folded around to Sam Korman who goes all-in for 12,000 from the small blind. The BB folds and Richard is ahead with {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs} against Sam's {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}. However the flop is {Q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Richard needs some help. The turn is a {10-Hearts} and the river is the miracle {A-Hearts}. Sam is down to 9000.

Kenna James Doubles Up....Almost

Kenna James pushed all-in on the button for 6700 and Erik Sonnert in the big blind says that he's has enough and calls. Kenna shows {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, Erik flips over the {A-Diamonds} and Kenna thinks he is going home, but the {2-Diamonds} follows. Kenna is calling for clubs and the door card on the flop is the {10-Clubs} but it's followed by the {A-Spades} and {4-Hearts}. There are no clubs on the turn or river and the players split the pot.

Where Have All the Pros Gone?

On Day 1A, plenty of pros survived the first flight. With a half hour remaining of flight 2, only a handful of pros are left such as Gus Hansen, Erick Lindgren, Carl Olson, Brandon Schaefer, Ed Moncada, Kirill Gerasimov, David Chui, and Michael Tomeny. While both Phil Ivey and Joe Hachem are short stacked.

And lots of big named pros have left the building on Day 1B such as Gavin Smith, Clonie Gowan, Greg Raymer, Tony G, Evelyn Ng, Kenna James, Mike Matusow, Sarah Bilney, Emad Tahtouth, Kathy Liebert, Andy Bloch, John Juanda,

And yes, Shannon Elizabeth and Gaz are out too.
