Level 9
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Papa Karn has been nursing a short stack for the past few levels, eventually dropping to 10,200 at the start of this hand. Trisha Wu limped for 1,200 from under-the-gun and Papa Karn moved all in next-to-act. One player folded and the next player called. Everyone else folded and the hands were turned up.
Karn - 
Opponent - 
"Aw, man," Karn's opponent muttered when he saw Karn's kicker was best.
The board ran out dry for both players, 
, and Karn's ace-jack high was good enough to collect the pot.

Husband and wife players Trisha and Li Wu late registered for Flight C, but both are still in the field with half a level to go in the day. As luck would have it, they've been moved to not just the same table, but adjacent seats.
Both are sitting on stacks they can take to Day 2, but Li just knocked out a player and now holds a top-five stack.
Wu held 
and got it all in against his opponents 
. The flop came clean for the aces, 
, but the 
on the turn created a sweat in the form of an open-ended straight draw for the pocket tens. The river failed to bring in the straight and Li Wu sent his opponent to the rail.
