We picked up the action after a flop of and Gohshi Morita check-raised his heads-up opponent to 10,000 after a 3,000 bet. Morita had left himself with right around 8,000 and his opponent thought for a moment before eventually sending his cards to the muck.
Nick Pupillo has entered Day 1b, after firing two unsuccessful bullets on Saturday. The same can't be said for other notables Shawn Cunix and Chris Moneymaker, who both mentioned that they would be spending the day with their families.
We picked up the action after a flop of and Justin Moodley bet 2,000 after a check from his opponent. The bet was called and the turn brought two checks. The fell on the river and Moodley's opponent led for 1,500. Moodley reluctantly made the call, after verbally supposing that his opponent had turned the flush.
It was just though for second pair and Moodley rolled over to take the pot.

Welcome to Day 1b of the main event for the latest stop on the Hollywood Poker Open Regional Tour. The Hollywood Casino Columbus is the host for the seventh and final stop for the series, which will culminate with the $500,000 guaranteed championship event next month at the M Resort in Las Vegas.
Sunday marks the second flight of two Day ones with a $1,115 buy-in and a $100,000 guarantee. Last year’s regional stop drew 126 entrants, though with a more significant buy-in of $1,800. With the lower buy-in, the Day 1b field saw 152 entries and the guarantee quickly became an afterthought. If the tournament sees a similar number here on Day 1b, the pool may come close to or exceed the $300,000 mark.
The plan is to complete 14 50-minute levels here on Day 1b, with survivors combining with the remainder of Day 1a for Monday’s Day 2. Keep your eyes right here, as PokerNews will bring you live reporting, starting at 12:15 pm local time.
