Players in Day 1c of the Lex Live Main Event have bagged and tagged for Day 2. Standby for the recap on PokerNews.
Colillas had already got through with a couple of shoves before moving all in for 51,000. He was called by David Rogala, who had slightly covered as players flipped their cards.
Ramon Colillas: 8♠8♦
David Rogala: 10♦10♠
The board ran out 7♥6♣4♠3♥9♣. Ramos picked up backdoor outs, but Rogala held to win the pot, sending Colillas to the exit moments before the tournament stopped for the end of Day 1c.
Action was on the turn on a board of A♣7♣Q♦9♦ and Matthijs Den Engelsman was all in against a shorter stacked opponent.
Den Engelsman had A♥A♦ for trip aces and his opponent had J♦10♦ for a straight flush draw.
The river came the 2♥, a complete blank, and Den Engelsman scooped a late pot.
The tournament director has announced that there will be five more hands played to end the flight, after which players will bag and tag.
Marcelli Sucarrats open shoved for around 70,000 and the short stacked player in the small blind looked him up. Players turned their cards for the all in.
Opponent: A♣J♠
Marcelli Sucarrats: K♦10♣
The board ran out 10♣6♣9♥9♣9♠ to give Sucarrats a full house, nines full of tens.
Elsewhere, the pace has slowed down as players eye up the Day 2 bag.
