Nativ Shmueli

Nativ Shmueli called PokerNews over to his table.

"Can you get me in the chip counts," asked Shmueli? "I want to show my friends."

A player opened the cutoff to 3,000 and Shmueli defend in the big blind.

The flop was {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and both players checked to the {5-Spades} turn.

The original raiser bet 5,000 and Shmueli called.

On the river {2-Hearts}, Shmueli led for 8,000 and his opponent released his hand.

Hailing from Israel, Shmueli is near the top of the leaderboard as Day 1A continues.

On a flop of {5-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, Katie Kopp fired 15,000 and her opponent found a fold.

Uvaydov Eliminated By Arruda

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
David Uvaydov
David Uvaydov

David Uvaydov was sitting on about 75,000 a few minutes ago but now he is headed for the exit after losing two hands in a row.

"Hey come over here, I need your run good," said Uvaydov.

David Uvaydov raised to 6,000 and Billy Poindexter ripped for 38,500. Uvaydov called and the hands were revealed.

Billy Poindexter: {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
David Uvaydov: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

The flop came {6-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{j-Clubs} giving Poindexter the nut flush, the {8-Diamonds} turn sealed the deal as the meaningless {9-Hearts} hit the river.

On the next hand, there was 27,000 in on a completed board of {q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Spades}. Uvaydov moved all-in and Jeff Arruda snap-called.

David Uvaydov: {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Jeff Arruda: {k-Spades}{6-Spades}

Uvaydov held two pair, queens and tens, but Arruda had made a flush on the river to eliminate Uvaydov.
