Estimated Prize Pool to be Smashed

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

The estimated prize pool of $250,000 for the Main Event has been reached already here at the Poker Palace. It looks like it will easily exceed $300,000, with entrants in the turbo Day 1D flight tonight, and two hours of late rego available on Day 2 still to come.

Zammit Doubles Through Aman

Shaun Zammit was all-in pre-flop for 61,200 with {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} versus Rafe Aman's {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} in the big blind. The board ran out safe for Zammit and he doubled up to now have one of the bigger stacks in the room, over double the average.

One More Flop Please

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante
John Thomson
John Thomson

John Caridad opened the betting with 1,800, and John Thomson directly on his left 3-bet to 3,800. Caridad thought for a while before announcing all-in, and Thomson snap-called.

Caridad: {k-}{k-}
Thomson: {a-}{a-}

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {2-Hearts} with Thomson's aces holding up. Caridad was asked from another table how many chips he had left now, since he was still seated. Caridad replied "I'm just waiting for the next flop to bring the king".
