Dinner Options

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante

The 90-minute dinner break is scheduled to occur in about five minutes, but as is the case with shootout tournaments, the players have the option to play through dinner as long as everyone at the table agrees.

Players opting to skip the dinner break will take a 15 minute break at the end of this level while everyone else goes on the scheduled 90-minute break.

Break Time!

Players are now either on a 15-minute break or a 90-minute break.

In the last hand before players left their tables, Brock Parker finished off his opponent to secure his place in round two.

There are currently only two tables playing four-handed, all the other tables are three-handed or heads-up at this point.

Bardah Loses Lead And Table

Ronnie Bardah went into heads-up play with 26,500 to the 14,500 of Mark Rumbaugh, but Rumbaugh fought his way back and sealed the knockout of Bardah and the table win.

Bardah and Rumbaugh got it all in on the turn when the board read {6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Spades} Bardah showed {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and Rumbaugh showed {6-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for trips. The river was the {8-Clubs} and Rumbaugh improved to a full house. Bardah hit the rail and won't be joining us for Day 2 tomorrow

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.
