Arnwine First Casualty of Day

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Tom Wheaton
Tom Wheaton

A player at the table recounted to PokerNews that action folded to Justin Arnwine in the small blind, who made it 1,500 to go. Big blind Tom Wheaton opted to defend.

On a flop of Q♥9x5x Arnwine continued for 3,000, and Wheaton stuck around with a call. The K♥ peeled off on the turn, and Arnwine sized up to 7,000. Yet again, Wheaton opted to call.

The river Qx was dealt, and Arnwine opted to move all in, risking his tournament life. Wheaton made the call, and his KxQx for a full house was the winner, as Arnwine's A♥3♥ hit the muck. Arnwine has since re-entered.
