Kumar Once More with a Spectacular Three-Way Showdown

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

One of the latest players to register and Anand Kumar got their chips into the middle and Kumar talked a third player into committing the shorter stack as well with the 7♦5♠.

The first player to shove tabled the A♥J♣ while Kumar announced "the ten is coming" while he exposed the A♣10♠.

Kumar was in rough shape on the J♥8♠4♠ flop but somehow spiked the 10♦ turn as well as 10♣ river. He doubled for 31,000 and knocked out the slightly shorter stack.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Bernard Lim in the small blind and "KM" in the under-the-gun position invest 9,000 each on the 10♠7♦6♥4♥ turn. Lim checked the J♠ river and "KM" jammed for the last 11,100.

Lim asked for a count and then came along for "KM" to announce ace-high. The A♦6♦ of Lim won the pot as his opponent tossed the cards into the muck.

"Sometimes I just have a feeling," Lim said while he dragged in the pot.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Jaryd Jardine raised to 4,000 and earned four callers to a flop of 6♣2♣2♥. The action continued with a bet worth 10,000 by Jardine and Anand Kumar then jammed for 23,500. Shannon Elizabeth reluctantly folded while Patrice Ah-Nien called, as did Jardine after using one time bank.

Both active players checked down the 8♣ turn and K♠ river.

Ah-Nien flashed his J♣5♣ for a flush to the jack but Kumar had that beat with the A♣10♣. Jardine sighed deeply with a "how do you both get there" before sending his cards into the muck.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The Day 1a field has reached three digits and one of the latest players to jump in was Alvin Pillay. Among the first few hands he was involved in, Pillay knocked out a short stack who defended the big blind and flopped second pair with J♥6♠ on Q♥J♣7♥.

Pillay was miles ahead with the A♣A♦ and had little to fear on the 10♠ turn as well as 7♦ river runout.

Just before the blinds moved up, Rajeev Poonhath raised to 2,500 from under the gun. Tanith Rothman jammed for 10,600 in the cutoff and Thomas Bedford in the big blind moved all-in to force out Poonhath.

Tanith Rothman: Q♠10♦ All in
Thomas Bedford: K♦Q♣

The 9♣4♣3♠5♣6♦ board missed both players and king-high beat queen-high.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Shannon Elizabeth raised to 3,000 and earned two callers. Richard Butler then jammed for the last 25,000 on the button and the action folded back to Patrice Ah-Nien. He reluctantly called and the cards were flipped over.

Richard Butler: 7♣7♥ All in
Patrice Ah-Nien: A♠7♠

The K♣9♥6♠ flop and J♠ turn provided two spades, but instead it was the A♣ river that sent Butler to the rail.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Mystery Bounty Event winner Marko Nortje entered a few levels ago and spun up his stack pretty quickly.

In a battle of the blinds with Aleko Manganas, he just now called bets worth 5,500 on the J♠10♥6♦2♣ turn and 10,000 on the 7♦ river. Manganas tabled the A♥J♥ for top pair and top kicker to win the pot.
