Cazin Risks It All

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Ace Allee opened to 900 from under the gun and was called by Devan Rineheart. James Cazin reraised to 3,800 on the button and only Allee called. The flop came A♣9♦7♥ and Allee check-called a bet of 3,200 from Cazin.

The 7♦ paired the board on the turn and both players checked to the 2♦ on the river. Allee led out with a bet of 6,000 and Cazin announced all in for 49,200. Allee asked for a count and gave it some thought but decided to send his cards into the muck.

Probst Claims an Early Knockout

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

With one player having all of his chips in the middle, there was a dry side pot to play for on the flop of 7♦4♣4♦. Xiao Probst tossed in a bet of 6,500 and Eugene Baker threw his cards into the muck.

Opponent: K♠J♥All in
Xiao Probst: Q♥Q♣

Probst was easily in the lead with her pair of queens and the J♦ on the turn was not the pair her opponent wanted to make. The 4♥ completed the board and Probst sent her opponent to the rail.

No Shortage of Action on Table 14

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
David Soskin
David Soskin

An early morning wasn't going to keep David Soskin quiet and it only took him one orbit to finally lay down a hand preflop on Day 1b. Shortly after, Soskin also convinced his table to play a "round of straddles", even though the straddle will not be live in a tournament.

Soskin has taken advantage of the induced action in the early going and has built up an early chip lead with over 85,000 chips.

Rineheart Applies Pressure

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Arnold Alaniz opened to 500 in early position and Devan Rineheart three-bet to 1,800 in the hijack. James Cazin flat-called on the button and Alaniz came along for the ride.

The flop came K♠J♥3♦ and Rineheart continued with a bet of 1,500. Cazin called and Alaniz stepped aside. The turn brought the 10♦ and Rineheart sized up a bet of 4,500, which forced Cazin to dump his cards into the muck.
