Keeping on pace with yesterday, the action was all gas and no breaks throughout the day as the turbo-esque structure encouraged action early on, with multiple all-ins seen as early as Level 2. As was expected, today’s flights were larger than yesterday’s but still finished within the same time frame.
Some notable names that played in todays’ flights and managed to find a bag were Jeff Platt (446,000), Adam Saven (378,000) and Michael Loncar (376,000).
Poker power couple Bob Mather and Lexy Gavin-Mather also fired their collective shots today, but unfortunately were not able to find a Day 2 bag just yet. World-renowned poker commentator and comedian Joe Stapleton is also in the same camp as he fired in Day 1c but will be back on the hunt tomorrow along with Daniel 'Donk' Hughes.
Tomorrow will feature the final flight of this event, Day 1e, and it is expected to be the largest yet so if you haven’t found a Day 2 bag, this is your last chance!
Stay tuned as PokerNews will be bringing you all of the updates here at Thunder Valley!

After an open to 20,000 and a call by Vy Nguyen, James Van Brunt moved all in for 95,000. After the action folded back to Nguyen, he made the call to put Van Brunt at risk on the money bubble.
James Van Brunt: Q♦J♥

Van Brunt would need some help to stay alive, but he did not receive any on the 4♥4♦A♥9♠7♦ runout and he was eliminated on the money bubble to sent the remaining players into the money.

Michael Murphy: 9♦9♠

"Ok, one time, please," Murphy announced, but the runout of 6♥2♣Q♦A♥10♣ did him no favors and he was eliminated just short of the money.

On a heads-up flop of 3♦J♠9♠, Jason Weaver and Derek Roberts got all of their chips into the middle, with Weaver at risk.
Jason Weaver: A♠2♠
Derek Roberts: 10♦10♥
Roberts was ahead with his pocket tens, but he had to fade a lot of outs to stay that way. Unfortunately for him, Weaver immediately hit the 8♠ on the turn to give him a checkmark on the hand and the 4♣ river awarded him the pot for the double.
