Bonomo Slips Behind

On a flop of {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds} Justin Bonomo fired out 4,000 and Faraz Jaka check-called to see the {5-Hearts} land on the turn.

Jaka led out for 9,000 and Bonomo called before the {K-Spades} landed on the river. Taking his time, Jaka checked before Bonomo fired out 23,000 only to have Jaka call after some careful deliberation.

Bonomo tabled his {5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, but it would be Jaka's {K-Clubs}{9-Hearts} enough to take down the pot and see 'The-Toilet' climb to 90,000 as Bonomo slips to 60,000 in chips.

Jaka Doubles

Faraz Jaka is still a 2:1 dog right now against Justin Bonomo, but he just received a much needed double up.

Jaka and Bonomo got it all-in preflop holding {A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and {A-Spades}{7-Hearts} respectively. The board ran {2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{9-Spades} doubling Jaka to 50,000 chips and dropping Bonomo to 100,000.

Been Progresses, Junglen Falls

On a board of {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{6-} both Adam Junglen and Aaron Been exchanged chips before Been check-raised all in when the {3-} fell on the turn.

Junglen made the call tabling {8-Spades}{6-Hearts} to be in great shape to double against Been's {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, but when the {4-Diamonds} was delivered on the river, Junglen fell to the rail as Been progressed through to round two.

Jaka Slipping

Faraz Jaka opened to 2,500 from the button and Justin Bonomo bumped it to 8,000.

Jaka made the call to see a {4-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop fall and a 8,500-chip bet follow from Bonomo. Jaka made the call and then called 14,000 when the turn dropped the {5-Diamonds}.

When the river fell the {2-Hearts} Bonomo pushed a stack into the middle while announcing he was all-in.

Jaka didn't take too long to find a fold as he slipped to 35,000 while Bonomo took a strong lead with 115,000 in chips.

Heather Sue Mercer is the next to progress through to the second round after besting Seth Berger heads up, while Michael Binger also hit the rail while sending Danny Estes through to the next round too.

Dario Minieri is the third player to progress through to round two during the 'dinner break' when his {J-Spades}{J-Hearts} held up against his opponent's {4-Spades}{4-Hearts} when the final board ran out {10-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}.

Ten Tables Return

It seems so far that ten tables have taken just a normal length break over the preferred dinner break so that they can finish their matches while the night is still young.

Binger vs. Estes

Some players do not want to pause for a dinner break. Because Michael Binger is on a short stack, he and Danny Estes are two of those players.

Binger was crippled after a flip where he held {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} against Estes' {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}.

The {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop put Estes in a commanding lead, and the {9-Diamonds} on the turn changed nothing. The {A-Spades} on the river just rubbed salt into Binger's wounds as he was left with just 7,000 chips.

Two hands later Binger open shoved for 6,150 and Estes called with {Q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. Binger opened {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and the board ran {A-Hearts}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} doubling Binger to 13,000.
