Dana Anderson Eliminates Player

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

There were four players to see the {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop. The big blind checked, Dana Anderson bet 700, and another player in middle position called. With action on the button, he shoved all in for 5,050 total. Only Anderson called.

Anderson: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Button: {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The {7-Spades} turn and {q-Hearts} river did not improve his opponent's hand, and Anderson won the pot, and eliminated the player on the button.

Archie Vaughn Knocks One Out

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

A player in middle position raised to 500, Archie Vaughn raised to 2,000 in the hijack, the player in the cutoff called, and the original raiser folded.

Both players checked the {j-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop. Vaughn shoved all in when the {q-Hearts} came on the turn, and the player in the cutoff called.

Vaughn: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Cutoff: {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

The {4-Diamonds} river did not improve his opponent's hand, and Vaughn eliminated one, while chipping up to just under 50,000.

On a {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades} board, Alan Carty checked from the small blind and Jeff Bryan bet 6,500. With action back on Carty he quickly shoved all in.

Bryan goes into the tank for a solid minute before he finally said, "I can't beat a set of queens here," and tossed his cards face down into the muck.

Rob WazWaz has utilized his first bullet in the first ten minutes of flight 1b. According to WazWaz, he had called a four bet preflop, turned trip eights on an {a-}{8-}{4-}{8-} board, and Scott Mahin had turned a full house holding pocket aces.

WazWaz has just reentered and will have one final attempt to make day 2, as all players are allowed only two chances per flight to make it through.
