The Numbers

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

With registration and the re-entry period now closed the total entries for this third Day 1 flight was 108.

That means they will play a full 15 levels or down to 13 players, whichever comes first.

My Aim Is True

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Allison Shultz
Allison Shultz

Allison Shultz is the new chip leader and Kim Whitney's good day just went bad.

Whitney defended his big blind against a Shultz raise and they went heads up to a {2-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Spades} flop. Whitney checked, Shultz continued and Whitney shipped it in.

Shultz called instantly with the {a-Spades}{6-Spades} nut flush and it was a cooler with Whitney on {j-Spades}{9-Spades}. The board ran out {j-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Shultz is still stacking the chips.

Left crippled, Whitney exited a couple hands later.

The Six

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

With the last few minutes of the level now here the tournament staff has drawn and they will play six more hands before suspending play.

Fizzled

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

It was another late level fizzle out for Rich Giambra who had been losing chips steadily over the last three levels and finally ran {q-}{6-} into Sherry Dixon's {a-}{k-} to go broke.

Two more short stacks also busted and they are down to 13, ending play for the day.

A full surviving player listing and chip counts is coming up.
