Ryan Phan in Day 1a action

A small pile of chips was in the middle on a board of {7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{9-Hearts} with three-way action involving Ryan Phan in middle position and both players in the blinds. Action had checked to Phan and he was in the process of making a bet which wound up totaling 5,300. The small blind folded to put action onto the big blind, who took about 20 seconds to decide on a call.

Phan tabled {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} for a flopped flush, turned full house, and earned the pot as his opponent tabled a second-best {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}.

Larson Shoots Down Bullets

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

A player raised to 1,500 in middle position and action folded around to the big blind, where David Larson reraised to put the player all in for about 35,000. A call was made.

All-In Player: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
David Larson: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Larson was not behind for long as the flop rolled off {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{9-Spades}. The all-in player picked up four extra outs on the turn {10-Clubs}, but bricked the river {k-Diamonds} and was sent to the rail as a result. Larson now finds himself over 100K after winning the pot.

Jackson Sends One To the Showers

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante
David Jackson
David Jackson

A player raised to 1,000 under the gun and received two calls, one of which was from David Jackson in the hijack. The flop came {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{8-Spades} and the under-the-gun player made a continuation-bet of 3,000. Jackson raised after the player in between folded, making it 9,000, and the under-the-gun player three-bet jammed for around 20,000. Jackson called.

All-In Player: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
David Jackson: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

The pair and flush draw saw the turn {6-Diamonds} add an open-ended straight draw to Jackson's total number of outs, which ultimately proved to be too much for the all-in player to fade as the river {4-Spades} gave Jackson the straight and earned him both the pot and knockout.

There was three-way action on a flop of {9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} with an under-the-gun player checking to a player in middle position, who bet 1,500. Tristan Ziemann raised it up to 3,500 in the cutoff and the under-the-gun player called. The middle-position player folded, and the two players in the hand proceeded to check through both the turn {3-Hearts} and river {q-Hearts} to take the hand to showdown.

Upon checking back, Ziemann tabled {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and saw his opponent muck to take down the pot with his pair of jacks.

Lett Doubles With a Straight

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
David Lett

There was over 20,000 in the middle with a board of {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and action was on Jeff Maas in the big blind. Maas had checked and was facing a bet of 5,000 from David Lett, who was in early position with 7,100 behind.

Maas confirmed how much Lett had left and then announced he was all in, check-jamming to put Lett all in. Lett immediately called.

"Oh, don't do that!" said Maas with a smile as he showed {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}. Lett tabled {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a straight and the pot was shipped his way.

Raimer Applies the Pressure

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Archie Raimer
Archie Raimer

There was around 3,500 in the middle on a flop of {2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} with heads-up action between the under-the-gun Archie Raimer and his opponent in middle position. Raimer had checked and was facing a bet of 1,600, which he check-raised to 4,000. His opponent called.

The turn came {q-Diamonds} and Raimer continued, betting 6,500. His opponent called again and the river came {k-Hearts}. Raimer fired a third time, putting out 20,000, more than enough to put his opponent all in.

Faced with a decision for his tournament life, the cutoff thought for about half a minute before letting his hand go, resulting in Raimer taking down the pot sans showdown.
