Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 3,000 ante
Nicholas Luban opened to 10,000 from the hijack before Michael Barlow made the call from the small blind. Nicholas Rigby opted to shove for his final 63,000 from the big blind, which led to a fold from Luban. Barlow flicked in the call and put Rigby at risk.
Nicholas Rigby: Q♦9♠
Michael Barlow: K♣Q♠
Rigby was in trouble against Barlow, who had his hand dominated.
The flop pulled Rigby into the lead when it came J♥Q♣9♥, upgrading him to two pair and the lead.
Rigby's lead did not last long as the J♠ turn gave Barlow a better two pair with a king kicker.
The 3♥ river was the final card Rigby would see on Day 1a as Barlow dragged in the pot.
