Wright Eliminated

A series of unfortunate events have ended Larry Wright's Day 1a. He stopped by our desk to tell us about them.

First, his flopped set of sevens fell to an opponent's rivered gutshot straight, and that followed by losing a race with {A-}{K-}. He was all in against two opponents who both held {Q-}{Q-}, but no help came for Wright.

Sands Slips

With the flop reading {5-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, David "Doc" Sands bet out 3,400 and received a call from his opponent.

Fourth street was the {6-Diamonds} and Sands checked. His opponent fired 7,800 and Sands mucked his cards, awarding his opponent the pot. Sands is currently sitting on about 46,000.

Tryba Doubles

A short-stacked Chris Tryba went all in for 11,100 from middle position. The player in the big blind called with {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, racing with Tryba's {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}.

The dealer fanned a {J-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop, improving Tryba to a set. The {8-Hearts} turn locked up the pot him, making the {A-Hearts} river irrelevant.

Roberts' Tens Are Good

The player under the gun raised to 3,700 and was called by the player in the hijack, Daniel Saad on the button, Ron Roberts from the small blind, and the big blind.

The quintet of players saw a flop of {6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts} fall and Roberts decided to lead out for 6,500. The big blind and original raiser got out of the way and the hijack tagged along. Saad called as well and the turn was the {5-Spades}. Roberts bet out 9,000 and once again received two callers.

The {8-Clubs} completed the board and Roberts moved 11,000 into the middle. The hijack called and Saad flung away his hand. Roberts showed {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and the hijacked tapped the table, showing pocket nines before mucking. Roberts is now flirting with 100,000 in chips.
