$10,300 Super High Roller Champ Among Early Eliminations

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Lagodich & Jaka Run Into Each Other's Aces

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Frank Lagodich
Frank Lagodich

Frank Lagodich opened in early position and Luis Yepez three-bet to 37,000 in middle position. Faraz Jaka then four-bet jammed a stack of around 70,000 in the small blind and Lagodich five-bet jammed a bigger stack. Jaka filmed the action as Yepez folded.

Faraz Jaka: A♦A♣
Frank Lagodich: A♥A♠

The five-bet pot had an anticlimactic ending as both players had aces and the runout of 5♦3♣7♦10♥8♣ left them chopping the pot.

"You fold kings or queens?" Dan Shak asked Yepez.

"Yes," Yepez replied. "Both."

Ved Spikes to Survive

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Matthew Hunt opened to 6,000 from middle position, Selles Meijse three-bet to 16,000 in the cutoff, and Kartik Ved four-bet jammed for 35,000 in the small blind. Hunt folded and Meijse called.

Kartik Ved: 8♠8♥
Selles Meijse: 10♥10♦

The J♣7♥4♦ flop kept the tens ahead and Ved got up from his seat as the 5♥ turn gave him straight outs. The 6♥ hit the felt on the river and Ved made a straight to survive.

Marquez Spikes River to Oust Yaginuma

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Jesse Yaginuma was all in for 71,000 on the button and at risk against Ralph Marquez in middle position.

Jesse Yaginuma: 10♥10♣
Ralph Marquez: A♣Q♥

The K♥8♥4♥ flop gave Marquez additional heart outs, and although the 9♦ turn changed nothing, the A♥ fell on the river and Yaginuma was eliminated.

Edward Pak: J♣10♣
Joe Tehan: A♣J♠

Pak took the lead on the flop of 10♦9♠4♠, but the board finished out Q♣A♠ to give Tehan an ace on the river to mark Pak's elimination.

Oh, That's Broadway!

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The short-stacked Pierce McKellar got his last 30,000 or so all in preflop and found himself in dire straits against Je Wook Oh.

Pierce McKellar: A♥Q♣
Je Wook Oh: A♦K♥

McKellar needed some help and got some when the Q♠8♦J♥ flop paired his queen. However, his lead was only temporary as the 10♣ spiked on the turn to give Oh a Broadway straight.

The A♠ river changed nothing and McKeller bowed out within the first 15 minutes of play on Day 2.

Boen Hits Quads Twice In First Orbit

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Leonardo Boen
Leonardo Boen

Valentyn Shabelnyk was all in from early position for around 45,000 against Leonardo Boen in the big blind, who had him covered.

Valentyn Shabelnyk: A♦Q♦
Leonardo Boen: 9♣9♦

Shabelnyk had no shot at staying alive as the flop landed K♥9♠9♥ to give Boen quads before the meaningless runout of 3♠3♦ confirmed Shabelnyk's elimination.

"That's the second time he's had quads," Jim Collopy told PokerNews. "In the first orbit."

Moreno Sends Laplante to the Rail Early

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Ryan Laplante
Ryan Laplante

Ryan Laplante open-jammed for 27,500 from the cutoff and action folded to Andrew Moreno in the big blind. He looked down at a big one and wasted little time in making the call.

Andrew Moreno: K♦K♣
Ryan Laplante: K♠3♠

Laplante was in need of some major help but failed to receive any as the board ran out a lackluster J♥6♣7♠7♦8♦.
