Jeffrey Siegal Wins Table

After a series of bets preflop Jeffrey Siegal had his short stacked opponent all in.

Siegal {A-}{3-}
Opponent: {10-}{3-}

Siegal had his opponent dominated as the dealer put five cards in the middle, and they came out {7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{j-Diamonds}. Siegal ended up with ace high, and that was enough to secure his place in the next round.

Riccobono Wins

After a series of hands where Al Riccobono's opponent ended up all in a few times, Riccobono finally put the final nail in his opponent's coffin.

Preflop the other player raised and Riccobono called. The flop came {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Riccobono check-called a bet from the other player. When the {10-Clubs} came on the turn Riccobono check-raised and the other player ended up all in.

Riccobono: {j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Opponent: {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

The other player looked poised to double with his pair of sevens, but the river brought the {8-Spades} giving Riccobono a pair of eights and the win. Riccobono is our next player to move on to round two.

Steven Hustoft Wins Table

We don't know the exact action, but when we got to Steven Hustoft's table his opponent was walking away and Hustoft had {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts} in front of him. The board read {10-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{A-}{K-}{5-Hearts} so we know Hustoft won with a flush, but we don't know what his opponent had.
