Typically, going all in pre-flop with pocket aces is a dream spot, but today proved otherwise for two players who hit the rail. First, Daniel Stone called an all-in bet from an opponent holding pocket aces against his king-ten. But Stone flopped trip kings, sending his opponent packing.
Next, poker vlogger Abby Merk found herself all in with pocket aces but faced a similar fate. Darol Rodrock called her four-bet jam with king-nine offsuit and managed to flop trip nines. Merk was unable to find an ace on the runout and was eliminated from the tournament.
Bubble Hand
All 21 players remaining in the field made the money and Day 2, thanks to Joe Graybill bursting the bubble. Graybill went all in pre-flop, holding ace-king against his opponent's ace-nine. Once the board ran out, Graybill improved to a pair of kings, securing his place in the money along with the other 20 players.

Day 1c of the $1,100 Main Event has gotten underway. Players started the tournament with 30,000 in chips, facing blinds of 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. Levels will last 30 minutes each until late registration closes after Level 8, after which they will extend to 40 minutes. There will be a 15-minute break at the end of every two hours of play. The tournament will continue until only 12.5% of the field remains, at which point players will bag their chips for Day 2 on Sunday, October 27. Participants can play in multiple Day 1 flights, and if a player bags chips multiple times, their smaller stack will receive a minimum payout while keeping that stack in play.
Be sure to follow PokerNews for live coverage and updates of the final Day 1 flight and the conclusion of the tournament on Sunday October 27.
