Maxcy Binks the Ace

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 100 ante
Charles Maxcy

Charles Maxcy put in 4,200 under the gun and got calls from a player in the hijack and both blinds. On the {9-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop, Maxcy moved in and was snap-called by the hijack. The blinds quickly mucked.

Maxcy: {a-}{a-}
Hijack: {9-}{9-}

Maxcy was in trouble, needing an ace, but he got it on the {a-Clubs} turn.

"Oh my f****** God," the hijack exclaimed as he shot out of his seat. He could only watch helplessly as the {10-Spades} completed the board.

Maxcy had over 37,000, covering his opponent's 25,400.

Will's Roller Coaster Ends

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Josh Will

After losing a big chunk of his stack to John Franciosi and then doubling through another player, Josh Will lost the rest as Franciosi came back for it. Will checked an {8-Hearts}{10-Spades}{k-Spades} flop in a pot he raised, and Franciosi bet 3,500. Will jammed for about 20,000, and Franciosi snap-called.

Franciosi: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Will: {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Will was in bad shape against the top two, but even his slim hopes were reduced to one out for a chop as the turn came a {10-Clubs}. The {2-Spades} river ended his roller coaster Day 1a.

Will Doubles Through Shedlowsky

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Stan Shedlowsky opened for 2,700 in the cutoff and then reluctantly called the shove of Josh Will, who had 12,425 in the small blind.

Shedlowsky: {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Will: {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}

Will stood up despite having a dominating hand, but a run out of {9-Spades}{q-Hearts}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} meant he was good.

Zuspan Triples Up

Level 9 : 400/800, 75 ante

We arrived at Table 7 as the dealer swept the chips and Kenny Zuspan stood up, all in and having been called in two spots on the {5-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop. The two players active players checked down the {q-Spades}{5-Clubs} run out, and the first player showed {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a bricked straight draw. Zuspan turned over {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for a flopped overpair, and the third player couldn't beat it either. The dealer indicated he had to show his hand since it was an all-in situation, and the player flipped {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}.
