Chris Land

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Michael Phillips and his opponent on the button were both all-in preflop and waiting for action to complete on the other two tables before a board was dealt. Once the go-ahead was given, the two players headed to a runout with the button at risk.

Button: A♥K♥
Michael Phillips: A♠9♣

The flop came 8♠8♦5♠, keeping the button in the lead. The 7♦ on the turn opened the door for Phillips, providing outs to a straight.

The river came down with the 6♣, completing the runner-runner straight for Phillips and bring Day 1a to a halt as the remaining 20 players will bag for Day 2 on Sunday as Phillips opponent headed to the rail one spot short of the money.
