Day 1b Completed
Olivier Busquet has set a very high bar by bagging 382,500, and Day 1c had just kicked off.
We didn't see when the money went in, but Gil George just busted a player on a board of ![]()
![]()
![]()
, with George holding ![]()
and his opponent getting it in sometime before a meaningless river card with ![]()
in the hole.
Gil George appears to be the only one mounting a serious challenge to Olivier Busquet's chip lead.
He just busted another player after opening 5,100 under the gun and getting one call, then seeing a player in the cutoff jam for 18,400. George reraised to chase away the early caller.

Darrin Stull opened to 5,000 in the hijack, and Terry Karn defended his big blind. Both players checked the flop, and the turn made a board of ![]()
![]()
![]()
. Karn fired 8,000 and his opponent called. On the
river, Karn checked and called 16,000. He showed down ![]()
for king-high but Stull had a monster: ![]()
for quads.
Rodney Spriggs put his last 10,200 in from early position and got action from the big blind. Spriggs showed ![]()
and was live against ![]()
. The board rolled out dead for both players and the king-high stayed best.
