Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Franco Zaplana was down to his last 50,000 chips and moved all in from the hijack. Hayden Fortini and Grant Matatall called from the blinds as the dealer fanned the flop of Q♠Q♣2♠. The side pot was checked through to the A♣ turn and the 7♦ river.
Fortini finally dropped in a bet and Matatall instantly folded. Zaplana turned over Q♥5♦ for trip queens but his kicker was no good against the Q♦10♥ of Fortini.
The remaining five players are each guaranteed $920, with the final four players advancing to Day 2 on Sunday.
