Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Play has concluded for the day as the hard stop of nine players has been reached following the elimination of Joshua Royal in ugly fashion.

On a flop of {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, Royal led for 12,000 and Graner called.

The turn brought the {q-Hearts}, and after Royal bet another 25,000, Graner moved all in and was called by Royal for less, putting his tournament life on the line on the Day 2 bubble.

Joshua Royal: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Stephen Graner: {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Royal's aces were ahead going to the river, but the {j-Clubs} crushed Royal's night, giving Graner a straight and the chip lead, while sending himself and the other eight remaining players home happy as the first flight of the Main Event comes to an end.

Stay tuned for a full recap of all the Day 1a action.
