Flippin' Felix

Chad Holloway

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action folded to the player on the button who moved all in for 36,000. Duane Felix was next to act in the small blind and jammed over the top for around 65,000, which prompted the player in the big blind to fold.

Duane Felix:
Button:

It was a flip and Felix was looking to improve to score the knockout. That's just what he did when the flop came down . The turn gave the at-risk player a gutshot wheel draw but the river was a brick.

Down to 27

Chad Holloway

Level 16 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The field has been whittled down to the final 27 players which means a table is being broke. Just three tables remain and four more players need to exit before the end of Day 1b.

Weinberg Flips for Tournament Life

Chad Holloway

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Paul Smerdon opened for 15,000 from the lojack and called when Michael Weinberg three-bet all in for 74,000 from the small blind.

Paul Smerdon:
Michael Weinberg:

It was a big flip and Weinberg was looking to hold to stay alive. The flop gave Smerdon a flush draw to go with his overs, but fortunately for Weinberg the turn and river were safe cards for him.

Paul Smerdon	350,000 -75,000	-75,000

Steege Done in By Phonphornwithoon

Chad Holloway

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Casey Steege got the last of his chips all in preflop and found himself in dire straits against Wanlop Phonphornwithoon.

Wanlop Phonphornwithoon:
Casey Steege:

The flop gave Steege a gutshot Broadway draw but he missed as a bricked on the turn followed by another on the river.

Steege bowed out in 25th place, which means hand-for-hand play will begin. Just one more player needs to fall before the money is made and Day 1b comes to an end.

Player	Chips	Progress
Wanlop Phonphornwithoon	280,000
Casey Steege	Busted
