Craig Gould raised to 8,500 in the cutoff, and James Cialella made the call in the small blind. Martin Ryan came along in the big blind, and the K♠8♥A♥ flop was fanned out.

Cialella and Ryan checked, and Gould continued for 11,000. Both blinds called to see the K♥ turn, where all three players checked.

Cialella led out for 12,000 on the 2♠ river, and Ryan let his hand go. Gould took a moment before tossing in the call. Cialella tabled A♠J♦ for two pair.

Gould showed K♦10♥ for trip kings, and the dealer slid the pot his way.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Three-handed action to the 8♦9♣8♠ flop saw Thilbaud Martin lead out for 12,000 from the small blind. Joseph Carey got out of the way in the big blind, and Jeffrey Chang called in early position.

Martin fired again on the 3♥ turn, taking down the post as Chang let his hand go.

Chang was then sent to the rail a short time later after seeing his pocket kings cracked, and the Day 1b bubble boy found another untimely exit.
