Givens Enters, Sends One To Exit

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante
Will Givens
Will Givens

Will Givens took his seat in the tournament just in time to be dealt into the big blind and committed 2,100 preflop on his first hand of the day along with Salim Wahdan in early position and a third player in the small blind.

The small blind bet 2,500 on {10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Givens raised to 6,400, receiving a quick fold from Wahdan before the small blind called. The turn came {5-Diamonds} and the small blind checked to Givens, who bet 11,000. The small blind thought for around half a minute and then called all in for less.

Small Blind: {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Will GIvens: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

"Aces are good," said the dealer just a moment later after bringing a brick on the river to earn Givens the pot and the knockout.

The dealer was in the process of collecting 1,400 from four players on a board reading {k-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{3-Spades} before bringing the river {a-Clubs}. Action checked to Michael Wyporowich in middle position and he bet 3,300, with only Nader Wahdan check-calling from the big blind.

Wyporowich tabled {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for Broadway and Wahdan mucked.

"Nice river,' said Wyporowich as he collected the pot.

Level 1 : 100/100, 100 ante

Verbeck With an Early Dub

Level 1 : 100/100, 100 ante

"All in," said a player in middle position on a completed board of {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.

"How much is it?" asked Joel Verbeck, who was on the button. The dealer eyed 9,600 and then cut out the stack to confirm such an amount with more than half of each player's stack already in the middle. "Call," announced Verbeck.

"You're good. Ace-deuce," said the middle-position player, flashing {a-Clubs} as Verbeck tabled a winning {k-Spades}{j-Spades} to earn the early double and send the player to fire his second and final bullet of the flight in the first level of the day.
