Sayed Mohamed Jafari: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The board came {8-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Allen's ladies stayed in the lead to double through Jafari before the break.

Two Hands for Gansel to Fall

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Daniel Allen was looking down at the {k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{4-Spades} board when he bet 10,500 into a pot that was roughly 36,000. Lori Gansel called, Allen tabled {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for a pair of sixes and Gansel mucked, sending him the pot.

Just hands later Gansel shoved a turned board of {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and received a snap-call from Qing Lu. Gansel showed {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} for a flopped bullet but was dominated by the {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} of Lu.

The {q-Clubs} completed the board and Gansel was eliminated. Lu took home the biggest share of Gansel's stack, shooting near the top of the leaderboard with just 71 remaining in the field.

Farr Spikes a Rocket, Leaves Givliano Short

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Vincent Giuliano three-bet from the button and the action fell back on Ronald Farr who four-bet jammed for a total of 80,500. Giuliano called for most of his stack, having just 14,500 behind.

Ronald Farr: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Vincent Giuliano: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop instantly shifted the mood, spiking an ace for Farr to take the lead. The {j-Diamonds}{2-Spades} runout cemented it for Farr to pull in the pot, leaving Giuliano with under ten big blinds.

Whittington Takes an Exit

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Blake Whittington moved in his last 22,000 and Matthew Bray was the only caller.

Blake Whittington: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Matthew Bray: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop smacked Bary with the deck, hitting broadway to jump into a cozy lead. A {7-Diamonds} turn and {6-Clubs} river were of no help to Whittington who was eliminated by Bray.

Jackson Surging Through Day 1G

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Gloria Jackson
Gloria Jackson

Gloria Jackson was on a steady grind in the upward direction throughout the flight but has caught some major wind under her sails as of late.

On the latest hand, she raised and Jeremy Whalen shoved around 80,000 into the middle. She snapped it off and was in a commanding lead when the cards turned over.

Jeremy Whalen: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Gloria Jackson: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

The community was filled with {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{5-Clubs}, and Whalen became another victim of Jackson's heater. She now sits on top of the field and is showing no signs of slowing down.
