Break TIme

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The players will now be taking what is most likely their last 15-minute break of the night.

Dossett and Lutz Flip for Stacks

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Randolph Dossett and Kevin Lutz had their stacks in the middle with Dossett's 58,200 stack at risk.

Randolph Dossett: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Kevin Lutz: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

The flip between the two had an uneventful {6-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts} runout, missing Lutz completely and Dossett's jacks brought home the bacon. Dossett's double left Lutz with just over four big blinds here late on Day 1e.

Byars Rolling Hot Late on Day 1E

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Sean Byars opened to 6,000 from the button and Camille Brown defended her big blind to see the {j-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop where she tapped the table.

Byars continued with a bet of 5,000 and Brown check-shoved for just under 30,000. Byars called and the cards went on their back.

Camille Brown: {k-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Sean Byars: {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

The johnnies were ahead for Byars and a {q-Hearts}{3-Spades} runout was no threat, shipping him the pot and Brown was sent to the rail.

Galyean Takes an Exit with Rockets

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The flop showed {q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and there was around 30,000 in the pot. David Galyean pushed his 17,500 stack into the middle and Salim Salem called. Daniel Tomlinson check-raised all in, totaling 37,300 and Salem threw in the call, putting both opponents at risk.

David Galyean: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Daniel Tomlinson: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Salim Salem: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The aces held strong for roughly five seconds before the dealer flipped a {7-Hearts} over on the turn, hitting Tomlinson with his flush. The {5-Hearts} completed the board and Tomlinson pulled in the pot, doubling through Salem and Galyean was eliminated in the process.

Theodore Parrella: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
