Corrado's Aces Hold

Hieu Luu has been playing erratic and ridiculously aggressive all day long. From the hijack seat, he raised to 30,000 before Montagna Corrado reraised to 86,000 from the small blind. Luu made the call.

The flop came down {Q-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} and Luu fired 300,000 after Corrado checked. Corrado tanked and then moved all in for 744,000 total. Luu quickly called.

Luu held {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs} against Corrado's {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}.

The turn brought the {K-Hearts} and the river the {7-Diamonds}. Corrado's aces were able to dodge all of the outs Luu had and he doubled up to 1.68 million. Luu dropped to slightly under one million and has 960,000.

Lewis Loses

Wayne Lewis was down to 45,000 when he pushed all in under the gun -- apparently he'd only looked at one card, a ten, and decided it was good enough. Jamie Brown re-shoved from the small blind, the big blind passed, and they flipped their cards.

Brown: {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}
Lewis: {10-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}

Board: {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {4-Clubs} {6-Hearts}

Lehavot Let Go

A player in the cutoff seat opened the pot with a raise, and Amir Lehavot reraised all in for 364,000 from the button. In the big blind, Miika Puumalainen looked down at pocket aces and made the call while the original raiser ducked out quickly. Lehavot tabled {K-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} and had some work to do to catch up.

The board was a brick wall though, coming {2-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}. Aces are good again, and our Day 1 chip leader has been eliminated with just over 200 players remaining.

There was a mid position raise, which Estelle Denis called, and then a reraise from [Removed:197] in the big blind. The original raiser folded but Denis called and they saw a {K-Spades} {2-Spades} {7-Clubs} flop.

[Removed:198] open-shoved, and Denis folded, leaving herself with 233,000.

Hanoteau Done-For

Miika Puumalainen opened the pot with a raise to 30,000, and Patrick Hanoteau made the call from the next seat over. In late position, Marc Etienne McLaughlin reraised to 100,000 straight. That was enough to eventually fold Puumalainen, but Hanoteau moved all in for the rest of his stack. McLaughlin instantly called with {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}, having his opponent's {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} crushed.

The board blanked out the whole way with {5-Spades} {6-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {8-Clubs}. That's the end of the day for Hanoteau as he failed to overcome McLaughlin's pocket aces.
