Qartomy Knocks Out Two

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

The board was {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and one player was already all in. Ray Qartomy was the first to act and shoved all in as well. His opponent called and the three players showed their hands. The first all in player had {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, Qartomy had {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, and the third all in player had {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}. Qartomy was in the lead and would stay in the lead when the board ran out {2-Spades}. Qartomy is now over 80,000 with one level to go before the end of the reentry period.

Buckner's Pair Is Better

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Henry Tran check-called a bet of 1,000 from Steve Buckner on the {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{3-Diamonds} board before the dealer landed the {8-Diamonds} on the turn. Instead of checking, Tran tossed out a bet of 1,700, and Buckner called.

The river was the {5-Diamonds}, and Tran bet the minimum of 300. Buckner called.

Tran tabled the {K-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, but he lost to Buckner's {A-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}.

Largest Field Yet

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

With 422 entries currently on the board, the Day 1c field has grown to be the largest yet here at the 2015 WinStar River Poker Series Main Event.

With 680 total entries from Day 1a and 1b combined, the Day 1c field needed to eclipse 362 entries to surpass the $2.5 million guarantee the event boasted. That's been achieved and then some, plus there's still plenty of time for entries and reentries to be made.

The registration and reentry period will remain open through Level 6.

Level: 5

Blinds: 150/300

Ante: 25

Pilgrim Raises Sanders

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

With the final board reading {Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, Michael Sanders had a pot-sized bet of 4,000 out in front of him. Dwight Pilgrim put in a raise to 11,000, and that sent Sanders into the tank for a little bit. Eventually, Sanders gave it up and made the fold, and Pilgrim was pushed the pot.
