Jewell, Bardah Start Over, Get Started
Kurt Jewell and Ronnie Bardah are sitting at the same table, both having bought in at the start of play today in an effort to double up quickly with relative short stacks and get back into contention. And both are off to positive starts here in the first hour of play.
Jewell had already added chips before recently knocking out David To to push his stack up close to 100,000.
In that hand flop action saw To all in and ahead with 
on a 
board versus Jewell's 
. But the turn brought the 
to improve Jewell's pair to a flush, and the 
added a cherry on top by completing a straight flush.
"The man, the legend," said Bardah afterwards as he snapped a picture of Jewell with his phone.
Soon thereafter it was Bardah picking up pocket aces and doubling himself.
"35-ball... back in action!" said Bardah, referring to his newly-bolstered stack.
