On a heads-up flop of 8♥A♦Q♦, Julius Threadgill led for 8,000 but was then raised by Will Leffingwell to 20,000. After some thought, Threadgill tossed out the chips to made the call and the two continued to the turn 5♠.
Threadgill checked to Leffingwell, who then downbet to 15,000, which Threadgill called.
The river came the 7♠ and after Threadgill checked once more, Leffingwell bet 75,000, enough to cover Threadgill.
"Ughhh.... I played that bad," Threadgill sighed as he folded, flashing the A♥, then Leffingwell flashed him the A♣ as he raked in the pot.

Jason Bullock opened to 7,500, Jason Burruss just called, and then Christopher McCauley moved all in for 74,500.
Bullock promptly got out of the way but Burruss snap-called to put McCauley at risk and tabled A♣A♥.
"Wow, are you serious? Just woke up with random aces? So sick," McCauley shook his head as he tabled A♠K♠, needing to improve.
Unfortunately for him, the runout of Q♠10♥2♣6♣8♠ did him no favors and he was eliminated from Day 1g while Burruss padded his chip lead.

It is currently halfway through Level 3 of flight Day 1g of the Mystery Bounty with 58 players already registered. Full coverage of that flight will commence later tonight after registration closes (approximately 10:00 p.m.)
The 26 remaining players in Day 1g are now on their third 15-minute break of the evening and will return to action shortly. The purple 500-chips will also be raced off and colored up at this time.
Ahmad Mohassel moved all in preflop and was called by John Ross to put him at risk.
Mohassel flipped over 10♦10♠ while Ross tabled A♣Q♥ for two overs.
The board ran out 3♠8♦3♣9♠4♣ for Mohassel to scoop the pot for a double while Ross was then the one left short.
The very next hand, Ross moved all in and Mohassel called to put him at risk for a quick role reversal.
Ross tabled 9♠9♣ while Mohassel flipped over an inferior 6♣6♠.
Unfortunately for Ross, a six appeared right in the window of the 7♦4♠6♦ flop, but his outlook quickly changed when the 9♦ peeled off on the turn to turn the tide back in his favor. The river 3♠ changed nothing and Ross was awarded the pot to leave the players back where they started.

David Shaw opened to 15,000 and is called by Creighton Jones in the big blind to see a flop of 3♣K♣3♠.
Jones checked to Shaw who continued for 12,000, which Jones called.
On the turn 4♣, Jones decided to lead out for 13,000, but was then raised to 52,000 by Shaw. After some thought, Jones made the call and the two continued to the river 7♠.
Jones checked, Shaw moved all in, and Jones called, putting himself at risk.
Shaw then flipped over J♦6♦ for a jack-high while Jones showed K♠Q♣ for two pair of kings and threes to take down the big pot.
"Well boys and girls, that's how you punt off a tournament stack!" Shaw joked. "BURN IT! BURN IT ALL!"
