Level 13
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ignazio Ulma moved all in for 98,000, and Maria Evans rejammed for 142,000, both in middle position. Andrew Cutajar was in the small blind, and he had a peek at his cards before immediately four-bet jamming with the covering stack, forcing out the rest of the table.
Ignazio Ulma: 5♣5♥ 
Maria Evans: K♦K♣
Andrew Cutajar: A♣K♥
Evans was in great shape, and the 10♠7♣2♠ flop was clear.
The A♦ hit on the turn to put Cutajar in front, much to Evans' disgust, but Cutajar then felt the pain of being usurped after the 5♦ hit on the river, sending Ulma the triple-up.
Ulma could barely believe it, and celebrated with gusto, while Cutajar won the side-pot to bust Evans.
We are now at 39 players in Day 1g, with 36 due to qualify for Day 2.
