Karen Nazarian jammed the K♠Q♥4♦ flop when checked to by Matthew Fergenbaum and received an instant call by the latter, as he shrugged and flipped over his A♣7♣. Fergenbaum was a huge favourite with the A♠K♦ and locked up the knockout on the 6♥ turn to make the 6♦ river a formality.
The action folded to Alex Foxen on the button who only took a moment before putting out enough chips to cover both of the blinds.
The action was then on Anuj Kwatra in the small blind who wasted no time before putting in the last 17,000 of his stack. The big blind folded and they were off to a full board with the cards on their backs.
Anuj Kwatra: 8♠9♠
Alex Foxen: A♣4♣
Foxen flopped an ace on the 10♦7♣A♥ flop but Kwarta was open ended. The 6♥ turn would bring it right in and the J♦ river secured the pot and kept Kwarta in the race.
Kristen Foxen opened to 5,000 in the cutoff and Robert Cowen called on the button as Craig Pollak defended his big blind.
Pollak and Foxen checked on the flop of K♣8♦Q♦ and Cowen bet 4,000. Only Foxen called. Foxen checked again on the 9♣ turn and Pollak sized up to 12,500. Foxen tossed her cards to the muck.
Yuval Bronshtein raised to 4,000 and Luis Dono shoved his last 28,000. Bronshtein counted out his chips and thought it over before he tossed in exact change to call.
Luis Dono: 5♥5♣
Yuval Bronshtein: A♠10♣
The board ran out 7♠A♥5♦K♥6♣ and Dono flopped a set of fives to stay alive on Day 1c.
Meanwhile, Rob Mariano is hanging in there at the same table.
On the A♦6♦3♦2♦7♥ river, table big stack Daniel Rezaei bet 13,000 and that sent Thomas Muehloecker into a brief tank. Muehloecker then tossed in a single chip for the call but mucked when Rezaei tabled the A♠10♦.
Ferenc Deak defended the big blind against Sefora Pop and check-called a bet of 8,000 on the J♣4♥4♦9♦ turn. He then checked the 3♣ river and Pop moved all-in for around 30,000, Deak snap-called.
Pop exposed her J♦10♠ but Deak had the best of it with the 5♠4♠ for trips fours.
Ben Yu moved all-in for just 11,500 from under the gun and earned a single caller in Tjarco Reitsma.
The A♥Q♠ of Yu were in prime shape against K♣Q♥ but Reitsma spiked the K♦5♥2♣ flop to improve. Nothing changed with the 8♥ turn and 6♣ river to knock out Yu.
Alex Keating opened under the gun to 4,000 before the action folded to Daniel Negreanu in late position who put in a three-bet to 10,000. It folded back to Keating who flicked in a call and they were off to see three.
The 8♥A♠2♥ flop landed and the action checked to Negreanu who continued for 8,000. Keating called.
The 4♦ hit turn and the action checked to Negreanu again. He sized up with a bet of 21,500 and Keating went into the tank.
After a full two minutes Keating moved all in. Negreanu got out his camera to film the vlog and then called.
Alex Keating: A♥J♥
Daniel Negreanu: A♣K♦
Keating needed a jack or a heart but the help would not come as the 7♠ hit the river. Negreanu scooped and Keating hit the rail.
Level: 11
Blinds: 1,000/2,500
Ante: 2,500
Adam Davis raised and Tamas Lendvai three-bet to 15,000 in the small blind. Jhon Diaz then four-bet jammed for 30,000 and Davis went over the top, Lendvai folded.
Jhon Diaz: K♥K♠
Adam Davis: J♦J♠
The board ran 9♥4♦2♥6♦7♥ and Diaz more than doubled.
"Of course I would have hit my set," Lendvai bemoaned.
