After a lengthy heads-up battle, Bill Blanda has outlasted Jacques Zaicik to move on to Round 2. Here's how the final hand went down:

When the hand began, Blanda had close to a 3-to-1 chip lead over Zaicik. Blanda raised to 3,600 from the small/blind button, Zaicik re-raised to 10,000, Blanda then pushed all in, and Zaicik made the call.

Blanda {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

Zaicik

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{5-Spades}

{3-Hearts}

{6-Spades}

, and Blanda moves on.

There is one more table left (really), where Gregg Turk currently has 64,000 to Matt Sterling's 36,000.
