Mankin Ousts Another

Level 6 : 200/400, 400 ante
Erle Mankin
Erle Mankin

With {9-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{9-Hearts} on the board, Erle Mankin went all in from the cutoff, having his opponent on the big blind covered.

The big blind player had about 23,000 chips remaining, and went deep into the tank. He eventually decided on a call, but ended up heading to the rail when Mankin showed {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}. Mankin's opponent was obliged to turn over his {a-}{j-}, and hastily made his way to the exit.

Villaman Gets Max Value

Level 4 : 100/200, 200 ante
Ray Villaman
Ray Villaman

With {6-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{k-Spades} on the board, Ray Villaman went all on from the button, heads up against Robert Georato in early position.

Georato asked for a count on the all-in bet, which the dealer confirmed as 19,600. With about 33,000 left, Georato had Villaman covered, and thought over the decision for a couple of minutes.

Evenutally, Georato made the call, but his {q-}{q-} was no good against Villaman's {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}.

Huge Pot for Henderson

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante
Robert Henderson
Robert Henderson

An early position player opened to 700, and got four callers, including Robert Henderson in the hijack and Aram Zobian in the big blind.

All five players checked the {9-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop. The small blind bet 1,500 on the {2-Diamonds} turn, and Zobian raised to 5,800. Henderson cold called, and the small blind folded.

Zobian bet 18,000 on the {a-Spades} river, and Henderson thought it over for awhile before anouncing an all-in raise. Zobian immediately folded, and Henderson later said he had pocket nines.

Kicking Off With a Tribute to Cary Marshall

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante
Cary Marshall
Cary Marshall

Tournament officials started off the day with a tribute to Cary Marshall, a beloved figure on the local poker scene in the Lake Tahoe/Reno area.

Marshall, who passed away in August, was a three-time WSOP Circuit ring winner, which includes a victory in the Harveys Tahoe Main Event in 2012. Marshall added to his legacy with a third-place finish in the WSOP Super Seniors event at the Rio in Las Vegas this summer, cashing in for a career-high $162,536 just weeks before his passing.

Marshall made a deep run in the Harveys Tahoe Main Event once again in 2017, going to the final table and finishing sixth for $28,373.

The Main Event of the 2019 World Series of Poker Circuit Harveys Lake Tahoe series continues today! The $1,700 Main Event keeps rolling with the second of two Day 1 flights, and the cards will go in the air for Day 1b at 11 a.m. from Harveys Lake Tahoe.

The field is scheduled to play through 11 hours of poker today, structured as 40-minute levels though Level 15, and going up to a 60-minute level for Level 16, the final level of Day 1a. Players will get 15-minute breaks after every three levels, and a one-hour dinner break at the end of Level 9.

The blinds will start at 100/100, with a big blind ante kicking in at Level 2 (100/100/100). Players will start with 30,000 chips, and this event allows for one re-entry per player, per flight. Late registration will be open until the beginning of Level 13.

Last year's WSOPC Harveys Lake Tahoe Main Event drew 442 entries and amassed a total prize pool of $669,630. Scott Sanders came away with the win, taking home the first place prize of $147,314 and the WSOP Circuit ring.

This year's champion will not only take home what's likely to be a six-figure payday and a WSOP Circuit ring, but also a seat in the 2020 WSOP Global Players Championship.

On both Day 1a and Day 1b, play will continue through the end of Level 16, or when 16 percent of the field remains, whichever comes first. Day 1a drew 157 total entries, with 26 players making it through to Day 2,
