Mascagni is a Magnet for Aces

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

While dealing, the dealer accidentally flipped up the {A-Clubs} that would have been Cory Mascagni's. After the dealer apologized and continued dealing, Mascagni limped in the pot. Gabriel Frank raised to 21,000 and it folded back around to Mascagni who instantly moved all in.

"I have to fold," remarked Frank, folding {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} face up. Mascagni laughed and showed the table {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} and scooped the pot.

Frank busted from the tournament a few hands later.

The Power of King-Ten

Action folded around to John Mitchell in the small blind who moved all in. In the big blind, Sai Wang replied by saying "If I have king-ten or better, I'm calling." Wang peeked at his cards, announced a call and turned up {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. He was racing against Mitchell's {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}.

Wang jumped into the lead when the flop came {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and sustained his lead all the way through the {2-Spades} turn and the {K-Clubs} river.

Day 1 Chip Leader Hits the Rail

Mike Linster opened to 16,000 and was called by Gabriel Frank in the small blind. Aaron Overton, fresh off his set over set loss to Rex Clinkscales moved all in from the big blind. Linster snap called and Frank mucked his hand.

Linster: {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Overton: {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}

The board came {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{7-Spades} and Linster's king high was enough to send Overton home in 24th place.

Largest Pot of the Tournament

At the same time Cartwright's hand was occuring Rex Clinkscales and Aaron Overton were busy playing the largest pot of the tournament so far at the adjoining table. After a flop of {10-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {7-Clubs} they got their stacks all in.

Clinkscales: {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}
Overton: {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}

The board completed {5-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} and Clinkscales now has a commanding lead over the field. And our Day 1 chipleader is down to less than ten big blinds.

Cartwright Eliminated in Brutal Fashion

As the rest of the field was going on break Kyle Cartwright was eliminated. We were away from the tables and Cartwright was walking away and did not look happy at all. He told us he ran pocket queens into {A-} {Q-} and his opponent flopped quad aces.
