Vinson Folds on the River to Shannon
Level 4
: 700/1,400, 1,400 ante
With three players in action on the 
flop, Ben Shannon threw in one purple 5k chip and Ben Vinson was the only caller. A fourth club hit the turn in the form of the 
and both players checked.
When the 
hit the river Shannon decided to move all in for around 25,000. Vinson, who has $1,348,351 in recorded live tournament cashes, didn't immediately fold his hand and instead seemed to have a tough decision. After weighing up his options for nearly two minutes he slowed moved his hand over the pass line and Shannon swooped in the pot.

Fitzgerald Tries Again
Level 4
: 700/1,400, 1,400 ante
In the very last level of yesterday evening's Day 1b, Ludovic Geilich was able to catapult this chip count up to over a million thanks to a call against Thomas Fitzgerald.
Ireland's Fitzgerald, who has two partypoker LIVE Grand Prix final tables to his name, tried to bluff all-in but Geilich caught him out. Just 24 hours later, Fitzgerald is back in Main Event action and has taken his seat in the marquee for Day 1d.

Render Back to Build a Better Stack and Beats Aces
Level 5
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
With the flop showing 
there were three players in the pot and one bet 15,000. It was enough to get one opponent to fold but not enough for Lauren Render who moved all in for 37,000. Her opponent made the call and saw she was behind to pocket aces.
"A six or jack" she said, and turned over 
The turn 
didn't help but sure enough, as she asked for the river did as the 
was revealed.
"There you go" she quipped and raked in the pot.
Render already has a guaranteed place in Day 2 after bagging 199,000 in last night's Day 1c, but is back again to try and build an even bigger stack.
