Nick Pupillo bet 7,000 from early position on a completed board of {3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Amalim Onyia check-raised all in from the big blind for Pupillo's last 9,000 or so.

Gaspard Off to a Fast Start Again

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante
Prince Gaspard
Prince Gaspard

On Day 1a, Prince Gaspard was off to the races with around 175,000 at a time most players were happy to have two starting stacks. Unfortunately for the former bracelet winner, it all went south from there and he wound up busto around the final break.

He's here for Day 1b and once again heating up early with around 60,000.

Trost Folds Second-Best

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

Craig Trost defended big blind for a raise to 1,200 and check-called down on {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, putting in 1,100 then 2,400 before facing an all-in river bet. His opponent had set him at risk for his last 11,200, and Trost folded fairly quickly.

His opponent showed {9-}{9-} for a set.

"That's a good hand," Trost said.
