Read full

"Wow, Wow, Wow!"

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

After a first player had open-shoved 60,500 on the button, Adria Diaz reshoved all in for 105,000 from the small blind. Michael Wang snap-called in the big blind to put both players at risk.

Button: {A-Spades}{5-Spades}
Adria Diaz: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Michael Wang: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}

The first round of "wow's" across the table was still echoing when the dealer spread out the first three community cards. The {A-Diamonds} was waiting in the window, prompting even more "wow's" from the table.

However, behind the {A-Diamonds} lurked Wang's only out, the {K-Clubs}, to swing him right back in the lead. It delivered the biggest "wow" of them all, and the remaining {7-Hearts}, {3-Hearts} and {8-Hearts} kept him in the lead. Wang eliminated both players and the bracelet winner soared to 410,000 in chips.

Geilich Stacking

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In what was presumably a four-bet pot, Ludovic Geilich bet 28,000 from under the gun in a pot of over 100k already. The board read {Q-Spades}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and his opponent opted to fold, which moved the Scotsman up to 360,000 near the final break of the day.

End of the Line for Sklenicka

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Michael Sklenicka has busted late on Day 1c and will not be one of the 280 players to cash from this flight. Down to 43,500 in chips, Sklenicka open-shoved from early position and John Ventre reshoved from late position.

Michael Sklenicka: {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}
John Ventre: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

The {A-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{J-Spades} brought no help to Sklenicka but the {3-Hearts} on the turn added some extra outs.

"Five," begged Sklenicka, but the dealer slapped the {A-Spades} on the felt instead to eliminate the Czech.

Voinea Busts to Wang

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ionut-Flavius Voinea three-bet all in for around 38,000 with the {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and Michael Wang called after brief consideration with the {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}. The board came {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Voinea was eliminated, while Wang jumped to more than two times the average.
