Traply Takes Control

It can be a funny game this poker. On the verge of going out Landy now has a two to one chip advantage over Scott Desveaux.

Another all in preflop confrontation saw Peter Traply's {10-Clubs} {10-Spades} face-up to Desveaux's {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}.

The board came {2-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {8-Hearts} to see the tens hold.

Lucky Landy

A short stacked Peter Traply moved all in with pocket twos versus Scott Desveaux's pocket eights. Desveaux thought he'd done enough to get through to tomorrow but a two fell on the turn to keep this tie alive.

Saar Advances

Wilf Saar has just advanced to day two when his {K-Diamonds}{4-Spades} held up against his opponent's {2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} when all the money went in on the flop of {K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}.

The turn and river fell running eights to see Saar take down his tables' match.

Winner on Table 29

The help never came for Juha Helppi. He got the last of his chips in with {J-Hearts} {3-Hearts} against Justin Filtz's {8-Diamonds} {9-Spades}.

The flop ran {4-Clubs} {4-Spades} {10-Hearts} {7-Spades} {8-Hearts}. The river sealed the deal for the young American, sending the Finn packing in the process.

Isra Advances

After being slightly greater than a five-to-one disadvantage against his opponent, Roland Isra has fought all the way to back to take down his match.

Isra will be returning tomorrow to battle it out with the likes of Jennifer Harman, Phil Ivey and David Pham.
