A player got his stack of 28,000 all in preflop and found himself in dire straits against Elias Nassif.
Nassif: ![]()
![]()
Opponent: ![]()
![]()
Nassif was way out in front and took a commanding lead when the ![]()
![]()
flop delivered him a set. The
turn left his opponent drawing dead and Nassif was pushed the pot after the
was run out on the river.

Players are now on their last break of the night, which will last 10 minutes. When they return they'll play three more levels before bagging and tagging on Day 1b.
We heard a commotion at the far end of the room and discovered action had exploded on a ![]()
![]()
. The player in the small blind was all in for 15,000, the player in the big for 10,500 more than that, and the player in the cutoff at risk for approximately 40,000 more. Daniel Perlman was in middle position and had them all covered, but just barely.
Perlman: ![]()
![]()
Cutoff: ![]()
![]()
Small Blind: ![]()
![]()
Big Blind: ![]()
![]()
The
turn was interesting as gave the big blind a straight, the cutoff a set, and Perlman a flush draw. The small blind was left drawing dead.
"Club," Perlman requested. The dealer obliged by putting out the
to give him the best flush and three knockouts.

Matt Yorra moved all in for 26,000 from early position and action folded to Sean Shah, who jammed over the top from the small blind. The player in the big blind got out of the way and it was off to the races.
Shah: ![]()
![]()
Yorra: ![]()
![]()
It was a flip and Yorra was just looking to hold to double. That proved easier said than done though as the flop came down ![]()
![]()
to pair Shah.
Yorra headed for the exit without seeing the
turn give him a flush draw, but it was just as well as he missed when the
completed the board on the river.

Last year, this very event attracted 1,045 entrants over three starting flights and created a $307,900 prize pool. Dion Jagroo dominated the final table to capture the title after striking a heads-up deal, good for $66,000 plus a $1,650 Deepest Stack seat.
Jagroo struck a deal with his good friend Daniel Silva, who locked up $43,554.
“This is literally something we both dreamed about,” Jagroo said after winning last year. “Something we always thought about.”
“It’s crazy,” Silva laughed as they celebrated.
