Kelly Kim KO'd

Kelly Kim got all 2,500 of his chips in the middle preflop against two opponents. One of those opponents led the betting on all streets and was called by the other, {9-Clubs}

. The betting lead showed down {A-Clubs}

for the nut flush; his opponent showed down {A-Spades}

for the nut low.

That left Kim's {A-Diamonds}

without a chip or a chair when the music stopped.

Tiny Gobbles Up the Chips

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

We fast forward the action to the river of a board that shows {3-Diamonds}

. Armando "Tiny" Ruiz had been check-calling the whole way. He checked to his opponent again, but this time check-raised after his opponent bet. That player made the call. Ruiz turned up {A-Hearts}

for trip jacks. He's now sitting behind 78,000 chips.

turn and was called.

Friedman showed a couple of draws, {Q-Diamonds}

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

A gent raised under the gun and to his immediate left Matt Glantz reraised. Over to his left, Thang Luu called, Mr Under The Gun called too, and they saw a flop.

Flop: {3-Hearts}

It checked around to Luu who bet; both players called and they moved on.

Turn: {4-Clubs}

Once again it checked to Luu and once again he bet; this time Mr Under The Gun got out of the way and Glantz was the only caller.

River: {9-Diamonds}

Another check-call from Glantz and they flipped the cards.

Glantz: {A-Hearts}

Luu:

Three-quarters for Luu to put him up to 66,000; one-quarter for Glantz to put him down to 29,000.

Nine big bets seemed like a decent stack to start the day, but those chips can go very quickly in this game. Carol Kline's stack is completely depleted before the end of the first level of play.

She moved all in for 1,600 from the small blind after a player in early position limped in. That player called with {A-Clubs}
