Gabay Fills Up, Doubles Up

Level 4 : 100/200, 200 ante
Haim Gabay
Haim Gabay

Haim Gabay bet 9,000 into an 18,000 pot from the small blind, with {6-Clubs}{k-Spades}{3-Spades}{a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} on the board.

His opponent in the hijack raised all in, which would have put the rest of Gabay's remaining 15,900 chips in if Gabay called.

Gabay showed immediate frustration when the raise was made, and tanked for several moments.

"If you have pocket aces you're good," said Gabay, right before making the call. The opponent tabled {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for trip kings, but it was no good against Gabay's {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} for kings full.

The pot doubled Gabay up to 63,000, while leaving the hijack with just 4,000 chips.

Carroll Doubles Up

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante
JIm Carroll

The player under the gun raised to 400 and the cutoff and the button called but Jim Carroll three-bet to 1,500 from the big blind. The player under the gun four-bet to 6,400 and the cutoff and the button folded. Carroll responded by five-betting to 13,400 and the player under the gun added the remainder to call.

The flop was {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades} and was checked through to the {k-Hearts} turn. Carroll checked again and the player under the gun moved all in for 30,000. Carroll instantly called for less, with his last 12,000, and the players turned over their hands.

Jim Carroll: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The player under the gun had a pair kings but Carroll has a set of kings. The {6-Hearts} completed the board and Carroll took down the pot.

Welcome to Day 1b of the WSOPC Planet Hollywood $1,700 Main Event

Sohale Khalili, Second in Chips in Day 1a
Sohale Khalili, Second in Chips in Day 1a

The second of two initial starting flights of the 2019 World Series of Poker Circuit Planet Hollywood $1,700 Main Event is set to begin at noon local time. Yesterday's flight attracted 338 entries players but only 65 of them found a bag. Today, a bigger field is expected to turn out for their final shot at advancing to Day 2.

Tim McDermott bagged the chip lead of Day 1a with a stack of 392,000. He is followed by Sohale Khalili (382,000) and David Towson (357,000). Today, another group of players will try to challenge this mark.

Just like the first flight, players will get a starting stack of 30,000 and levels will be of 40 minutes in length throughout the first fifteen levels. There will be a 15-minute break every three levels and a 60-minute dinner break at the completion of Level 9. Players will be allowed one re-entry should they find themselves eliminated, with late registration remaining open until the beginning of Level 13. Day 1 will play through fifteen levels or 12% of the field, whichever comes first.

The survivors of Day 1b will combine with the survivors of Day 1a for Day 2 on Monday November 25th at noon local time.

Stay tuned to PokerNews for updates as the day unfolds.
