Stempien Survives

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Oh a flop of {Q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, John Stempien was all in for his last 18,400 with the {Q-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and was called by an opponent's {8-}{8-}. The {7-Spades} turn and {7-Clubs} river completed the board, securing Stempien's double.

Last Level of Flight A

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We've reached the final level of the first starting flight in Event #2. The players who survive the level will bag and tag, but all of them will have the option of playing another flight and attempt to accumulate more chips to take into Day 2.

Flight B is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m and we'll be on the floor from start to finish!

Timely Double for Shrontz

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Vicky Shrontz moved all in for around 15,000 preflop and Kristan Mackiewicz reshoved behind. The rest of the table folded and the cards went on their backs.

Shrontz: {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Mackiewicz: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

Shrontz had two live cards and she hit gin on the {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop, giving her a pair and a flush draw. Mackiewicz called for her our cards on the turn and river but none of them arrived, and Shrontz began stacking her newfound chips.
