Pair of Bracelet Winners Sent to Cage in Three-Way All-In

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Jim Collopy and Justin Lapka were both all in with short stacks against Hesam Fadaifar preflop.

Jim Collopy: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Justin Lapka: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Hesam Fadaifar: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The flop came {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Hearts} giving Collopy the lead with top pair, but the {10-Hearts} on the turn gave Fadaifar the lead. He would fade Lapka's straight draw on the river with the {2-Spades}, sending the bracelet winners to the cage to pick up a ten big blind stack to try to quickly spin up.

Lee Makes His Case for Chip Lead

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

A huge pot was brewing on a river board of {6-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{k-Hearts} as with a sizable pot of over 60,000 already built, Brandon Schaefer bet 25,000 from the big blind, John Montoux moved all in for his last 26,500, and then Brandon Lee re-shoved for 44,000 more effective, the value of Schaefer's remaining stack.

Schaefer went deep into the tank before folding, later claiming he folded {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for a rivered flush.

That would turn out to be a great fold as Lee rolled over {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a full house, while Montoux's {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} went up in flames, ending his day.

Bandit(h) Steals From Friedman's Growing Stack

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

Adam Friedman has built his biggest stack of the weekend and is making a push to reach Day 2. His stack recently took a small hit however from the aptly named, Xaysana Bandith.

After Friedman raised in early position to 4,000, Bandith three-bet to 12,000, which was about a third of his remaining stack. Friedman gave his decision some brief pause, then dropped enough chips forward to put Bandith all in. Bandith called.

Xaysana Bandith: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Adam Friedman: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

The board came {5-Spades}{j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades}, giving Bandith a double-up, while Friedman's stack still remains healthy with approximately 60 big blinds.
