Jha Doubles Through Murray

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Mrityunjay Jha
Mrityunjay Jha

Mrityunjay Jha put his last 9,300 on a {j-Spades}{q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop, and Brett Murray called.

Mrityunjay Jha: {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Brett Murray: {10-Spades}{9-Spades}

Jha was ahead but Murray still has a shot with his bottom pair, open-ended straight draw and backdoor flush draw. No help came for Murray on a {4-Hearts} and {2-Clubs} runout, and Jha is still in the running on his second bullet of Day 1.

Steinman Showers Demersseman

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

After a roller coaster of an evening, Adam Demersseman's seat was recently seen empty. Ian Steinman confirmed Demersseman's elimination, saying that Demersseman had shoved into two people with bottom pair. One of the two was Steinman, who called with middle pair and held after the runout, prompting Demersseman to leave the tournament area quickly and quietly.

Two Pots Won on Flop

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

JC Tran opened to 3,000 from the button and was called by Peter Park, who defended his big blind. The flop came {3-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} and Park checked. Tran fired a continuation-bet of 2,000 forward and Park put in a check-raise to 6,000. Tran folded.

At the same time on an adjacent table, preflop action saw around 18,000 go into the pot between Glenn Miller, who was under the gun, and Mike Lancaster in the hijack. The flop came {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Miller checked. Lancaster bet 6,600 and Miller folded, resulting in the pot being sent Lancaster's way.

There are less than five minutes left in Level 11, meaning there is only one full level of play left in the night upon its completion. At that time, all remaining players will bag and tag their chips for the evening to return for Day 2 on Friday at noon with late registration remaining open until that time.

Richardson Doubles with Ten High

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Niv Decalo bet 6,000 from the small blind into two opponents, with a {7-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop showing. Only Paul Richardson made the call, from the button.

Decalo then checked the {2-Clubs} turn, and Richardson went all in with his last 8,500. Decalo made the call.

Paul Richardson: {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Niv Decalo: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Neither player had anything better than a gutshot straight draw, but Richardson had the better high card. The ten-high played when a harmless {6-Spades} came in on the river, giving Richardson the double up.

Three More Hands

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

"All right high rollers, complete the hand you're on, deal three more hands."

The tournament director has spoken and the 16 players across three tables will all play three more hands before bagging and tagging their chips for the evening.

Grybas Finds a Bag Before Play Concludes

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Steve Grybas just registered for the tournament and was told that he cannot be seated after the announcement was made for the last hands of the evening. As a result, his starting stack of 40,000 was placed straight into a bag along with a listed city of Las, Vegas. He was overheard celebrating having advanced to Day 2 while the other 16 players still had work to do.
