Areil Schneller Advances to Round 2

It was heads up at Table #36, with Ariel Schneller enjoying a sizable chip advantage over Jim Grogan.

We picked up the action on the flop of {3-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. Schneller led for 1,000, Grogan reraised to 3,000, Schneller moved all in, and Grogan called. Schneller showed {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for middle pair and a flush draw. Grogan showed {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for top pair.

The turn was the {Q-Spades}. Then the river brought the {2-Diamonds}, giving Schneller the hand and the match.

Murphy Lays Down Law

On a flop of {3-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, Arnaud Mattern and John Murphy got it all in. Murphy had K-9 and Mattern had Q-8. The turn and river were {4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Mattern was out.

After the hand, Murphy has 70,000 and his heads-up opponent Sezgey Rejbachenko has 30,000.

Tom Roupe Advances to Round 2

Well, that didn't take long.

Dalton had just got back and made the call from the small blind/button without seeing his cards. Roupe, noticing Dalton hadn't looked at his cards, raised, and eventually the two got it all in preflop.

Turned out Dalton had a hand -- {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. And so did Roupe -- {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. The race was on.

The flop came out {J-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. The turn was the {10-Hearts}. Dalton was still okay.

Then the river came the {J-Clubs}, counterfeiting Dalton's hand. Roupe moves on to Round 2.

Daunting Task for Dalton

Looked for a moment like Lacey Dalton, down to just 9,000 or so on Table #4, wasn't coming back from the break to finish heads-up vs. Tom Roupe. But after a couple of hands he has returned to try to make the comeback.
