Using pocket tens, pocket jacks, and big slick, Kathalyn Holz-Zammuto managed to bust three short stacks already and has essentially doubled up to a spot among the chip leaders.
The player everyone calls "Attila the Honey" is now a serious contender once again.
Leon Morford has now pushed past the 300,000 mark and into the chip lead.
His latest move up the ladder came when he sent Pat Steele to the rail with over all in preflop. Steele flopped a queen, but Morford turned a king to do the deed.
Day 1b chip leader Paul Zalewski has come out firing and just moved past the 300,000-chip mark and into the chip lead.
Zalewski opened for 10,500 and got the call from Marianne Deguzman on his left. They went heads up to a flop that Zalewski checked.
Deguzman took a shot at it, making it 17,500, but Zalewski would not go away. The turn brought the and checks all around. However, when the river fell, Zalewski led out for a healthy 60,000 and forced a fold from Deguzman.
