MarkSlatcher

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

A heads-up pot between Mike Delavergne and Eddie Wines was already underway when we arrived at the table. As the betting action completed on the flop, the pot came to 11,000. After the dealer burned and turned, the board read . Wines, first to act, moved all in for 8,700.

Delavergne shifted in his seat and then settled into the tank. It didn't take long, maybe half a minute, before he folded his hand face up, showing for bottom set.

Last Try

Brentharrington

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

Many of the players in the field at the start of play are returning for another shot at bagging for Day 2.

Samuel Whitstine is actually playing this flight, as opposed to just sitting on the rail while his wife Jonell Whitstine plays. She won a seat in one of the many $50 flip-and-go satellites and then won another seat in the mega satellite that just ended as Day 1E started.
