Viva Pescatori
Max Pescatori had his opponent all-in for his last 18,000 chips preflop and the hands were opened:
Pescatori: 
Opponent: 
The 
flop gave Pescatori a plethora of outs, but the 
on the turn was neither of them. The 
on the river was one of them however and Pescatori recorded the KO and the victory.
M and M

Big Flop
Cary Katz just doubled through Steve Gross over at Table 1 after a monster big flop for both players.
The hand was over when we arrived, but we were quick enough to see that Katz held 
and Gross 
. The flop had a queen and two hearts, but no heart came on either the turn or river.
Katz now sits with around 70,000 chips and Gross with 80,000.
McGowan Doubles
We rushed over to find Joseph McGowan raking in a double up against Lee Markholt.
The board read 
with only McGowan's 
face up as he began stacking his chips up to over 70,000 and change.
Jones Falls, Stammen Progresses
Aaron Jones found himself all in preflop holding 
against Keven Stammen's 
.
"All that for this!" stated Jones as the dealer spread the 
board to give both players two-pair but Stammen the better of the two.
With Jones now on the rail, Stammen moves into round two and a guaranteed payday of $16,607 for his near twelve hours of play.
McGoin' to Day 2
"I know you're twenty times the player I am," Joseph McGowan told Lee Markholt moments before the last hand between the two.
On said hand they got it all-in preflop after a series of raises and the hands were shown down:
McGowan: 
Markholt: 
McGowan stood up and pleaded, "Come on let the best hand win one time."
The improved the best hand, and the on the hand sealed the deal. The on the river was meaningless, and after a quick chip verification by the dealer Makrholt hit the rail.
McGowan may not be the player Markholt is, but he's still alive and at least $16,607 richer.
