Play is underway in the first of five flights in the $800 Main Event with the clock reading 37 entries at the starting bell.
Level: 1
Blinds: 100/200
Ante: 200
On the first shuffle of the deck, following an open, Kendra Lock three-bet from the small blind. In the big blind, David Dunham put in the cold four-bet to 3,500. The action folded back to Lock who quickly announced all-in for an even 30,000. Dunham would contemplate the decision for 30 seconds before he shrugged and tossed in the call.
David Dunham: 10♥10♣
Kendra Lock: Q♠Q♦
Lock was in great shape with her dominating pair and it stayed that way on the J♥5♥3♥3♦J♣ runout as Dunham was sent to the rebuy desk.
