Daniel Williams

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

On a flop of K♦K♠3♣, Orso Fierro bet out 35,000 and Jennifer Appeal reraised all in for a total of 83,000.

Fierro took a few moments for flicking in a single chip to signify a call and the hands were tabled with Appeal at risk.

Jennifer Appeal: K♣J♦
Orso Fierro: K♥Q♠

Fierro was in front and Appeal needed a jack to stay in the tournament.

The board ran out 4♥10♥ and Fierro claimed the scalp of Appeal, who secured $525 for her efforts and has the option of entering Day 1b tomorrow to have another shot at bagging for Day 2.

Level 17 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

On a flop of 10♥Q♥8♥, Amanda Nissan bet her remaining 73,000 chips and found a caller in Raymond Lizzol.

Amanda Nissan: Q♠5♠
Raymond Lizzol: K♥10♣

Nissan was ahead with her pair of queens but needed to fade some outs to secure a double-up.

The turn came the 3♣ and Nissan needed to avoid a heart or king on the river.

The J♥ brought the fourth heart on the board and improved Lizzol to a flush, eliminating Nissan in the process.
