TerranceReid

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

Action picked up on the turn with a board showing .

Charles Wardlaw led into a pot of about 6,500 for a bet of 3,000. Bill Cox quickly went all in for about 15,000 effective, what was left in Wardlaw's stack.

Wardlaw thought for a bit and eventually went with his hand, but soon saw the bad news. Cox flipped for the turned nut-straight, while Wardlaw was holding for turned two pair.

"I thought, 'not jack-nine, please just a queen.'"

The didn't fill up Wardlaw and his chips were slid over to Cox.

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

Brabham Becomes the Master

TerranceReid

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

The action picked up on the river with Thomas Brabham making a bet of 4,000 into a pot of about the same. The board read .

Grasshopper Lee thought for a bit from the small blind and decided to put in the check-raise to the tune of 12,000.

"Did you really do that?" said Brabham as he stared at the three threes on the board. Ultimately, he did put in the call.

Lee exposed for a full house that would beat any single ace. Unfortunately for him, Brabham had not one, but two aces in to win himself a healthy level one pot.

Thomas Brabham	66,000	16,000

Five flights have come and four of those are in the books in the Main Event here at The Lodge Card Club. The fifth flight is nearly finished as well. That means there is one last chance, Day 1f, to find a bag for Day 2 and work your way to a piece of the $2,000,000 Guaranteed prize pool.

Like all Day 1 flights, players will receive 50,000 chips and have 50-minute blinds in which to put them to use. Play will go until the end of level nine today or until 15% of the field remains, whichever comes first. Late registration and unlimited re-entry will be available until the start of level seven.

Players will be chasing Raymond Flint, who managed to bag an impressive 401,500 chips and secure the event chip lead thus far.

All players that advance from a Day 1 flight return on Sunday, May 22, at 2 p.m. for Day 2, which will feature ten levels of play at 60 minutes each.
