Players are now on a 15-minute break; with 29 players remaining, Day 1a is five eliminations away from wrapping up for the night.

Spikell Gets the River Fold

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Rob Fitzgerald opened to 7,000 on the button, and Bruce Spikell made the call from the small blind.

Spikell check-called another 7,000 from Fitzgerald on the {9-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop. Both players then checked through on the {q-Spades} turn.

The river fell {j-Clubs}, Spikell bet out for 12,000, and Fitzgerald folded. Spikell turned over {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} as he raked in the pot.

Hill Takes the Chip Lead After Knocking Out Somerville, Petzing

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Jim Petzing jammed for 56,000 from under the gun, and Jason Somerville three-bet shoved for 122,000 in the hijack. Lucas Hill four-bet jammed for 160,000 on the button, chasing out the blinds.

"What kind of cold deck is this?" Somerville, who just took his seat at the table, said with a grin after the cards were tabled.

Jim Petzing: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Jason Somerville: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Lucas Hill: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

"At least give Jim a nine!" Somerville said. No nine or queen would fall on the {2-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} board, and Hill knocked out two dangerous opponents in a single hand.

Turner's Full House Get Paid in a Big Way

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Jimmy Cappucci bet 4,000 from the small blind on a {9-Spades}{k-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop, and Jon Turner raised to 11,000 from the big blind. Cappucci called.

Cappucci checked the {k-Diamonds} turn to Turner, who bet 11,500. Cappucci called again.

The {3-Diamonds} hit the river, and Cappucci checked again. Turner bet 48,000 and Cappucci called, only to muck after Turner tabled {k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for a turned full house.

Kiley Climbing

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Thomas Weber opened to 7,000 from the hijack, Nick Kiley three-bet to 21,000 from the button, and Weber called.

The flop came {4-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, and Weber check-folded to a 13,000 bet from Kiley. Kiley and Alon Eldar are two of the biggest stacks in the room, both seated at the same table as Day 1a breaks down to the final four tables.

Two Shoves For Rogers

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

A player raised to 8,500 from the cutoff, and Leyla Rogers three-bet shoved for 13,500 from the small blind. The cutoff called.

Leyla Rogers: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The {j-}{9-}{8-} flop gave Rogers a set and her opponent an open-ended straight draw. The {6-} turn and {10-} river were safe for Rogers, and she doubled up.

The very next hand, the cutoff from the previous hand raised to 8,000 in middle position, and Rogers three-bet shoved for 33,000 on the button. Rogers' opponent folded this time.

Shipley Ships a Double

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

After limping under the gun, Jared Shipley jammed for 62,000 over the top of a raise from the player in the big blind. The big blind called.

Jared Shipley: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Shipley's aces left his opponent looking for running cards after the {7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop, and although the {8-Diamonds} brought chop outs for Big Slick, the {3-Spades} river gave Shipley the double.

Casual Three-Betting with Somerville and Lonis

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Jason Somerville and Jesse Lonis were in the middle of a conversation about football, when Somerville opened to 5,500 from the cutoff without breaking stride.

Lonis continued the discussion and seamlessly three-bet to 16,500 from the button, only stopping the sports-centric back and forth to inform Somerville that he was indeed three-betting.

Somerville told Lonis it's all the same to him, and made the fold.
